Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
I loved this. I wanted to see it again right after I finished watching it.
The Ultimate Book Geek Challenge, Part Three
Category 10, Vintage mystery: The Bookman's Promise by John Dunning 🎧
I admit that this isn't really vintage mystery, but I'm justifying it because 1) there were too many mystery-type categories in this challenge (next year's categories are an improvement), 2) the protagonist/detective guy was kind of old himself ("vintage," you could say), and 3) there is a lengthy flashback to 1860 or thereabouts because the mystery involves a lost or unknown manuscript by explorer Richard Burton. I liked that the detective is a retired detective who is now a bookseller. I didn't like as much that he is yet another older man who has romantic flings with younger women. But that's everywhere, I guess.
Category 11, Historical: Our Town by Thornton Wilder
I'm sure I read this long ago, but I didn't remember much of it. It's a lovely and sweet play, though pretty heartrending at the end. The passing of time isn't my favorite thing to think about these da…
dont know if everyone has seen this yet so i wont say much about it but i do wonder if they will continue on with the pirate tales? i think if they can get back the entire cast($$$$$) then they have a chance but i wish they would have closed this book forever without loopholes to dive through into 7 more movies..... anyway i liked it alot and cant wait to see it again on DVD when it arrives....
