Film 284/365, Day 316/365 – Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Even more action and adventure on the high seas courtesy of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.  So having seen off zombie pirates, Davy Jones and the Kraken and countless other evils they now have to deal with mermaids and the infamous pirate Blackbeard.  As with the other films in the franchise the script is excellent and allows for lots of brilliant exchanges between my two favourite pedantic pirates, Sparrow and Barbosa.

Synopsis:  Jack Sparrow is captured and forced to help Blackbeard, the pirate that all pirates fear, find the fountain of youth.  Barbosa, who now sails as a captain in the British fleet is also searching for the fountain of youth, as are the Spanish.  Who will get there first?

Film 166/365, Day 171/365 – Kung Fu Panda

There is no charge for Awesomeness.  Except if you buy Kung Fu Panda, which is something I would very much recommend.  It is excellent packed full of fantastic lines and hilarious Kung Fu action.  Kung Fu Panda is a thoroughly enjoyable film and one that could be watched again and again.  Awesome!
