Tresni -- Movie Of the Week 3

This Weeks Movies:

Pirates of the Caribbean Series.


Everyone has heard of Pirates of the Caribbean and Jack Sparrows crazy adventures well as the new one is about to come out I thought now would be a good time to have them as Movie of the Week :)
Here's a quick overview of the series:

The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

tric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.

At World's End (2007)

IMDB Rating: 7.0/10

Synopsis:

Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.

On Stranger Tides (2011)

IMDB: IMDB

IMDB Rating: N/A

Synopsis:

Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.

Now with me and Imokim being big fans of the series so far we both are waiting for the fourth installment On Stranger Tides, for us in England it will be released 15th of May which is not long from now so we hope too see it soon! 

So far the films have been really good with a good storyline, action and drama within them enough to keep any audience member on the edge of their seats however I know that many people do not think the same as shown when i was researching for this post, each film the rating has gone down :( Hoping the rating will be a solid 8/10 for the new movie.

There have been rumors that another two films are possible after this one which makes me believe that we may be seeing Pirates of the Caribbean and Jack Sparrow for a few more years yet! 

Personally my favorite movie of the three I have seen so far is Curse of the Black Pearl, the first one, it was such a great movie which obviously has lead into a series which has been just as good although I thought the second movie, Dead Man's Chest was the weakest of them.

You may have seen Imokim's post a few days ago about the Jack Sparrow song, if you haven't then check it out here:  [Imokim] Jack Sparrow feat Michael Bolton

Stay Tuned for Next Weeks Movie of the Week!

Tresni -- Movie Of the Week 2

This Weeks Movie:
 Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels IMDB


Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a 1998 British crime film, this film is a classic! a must watch! one of my favorite films ever and it has so many good actors in it!


Synopsis of the movie: 
Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash.

Now this movie isn't one which a large number of people have actually watched, as the synopsis says it is based in London with 4 guys who have to find half a million pounds in a week or the guy they owe the money to will basically cut off their fingers daily till they pay back.

I don't know if all of you will like the film as it does have many violent scenes and drug references in it but to be honest it just makes the film so much better.

With actors like Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham and Jason Flemyng they just fit the characters that they portray perfectly, I'd recommend this film to anyone as its a great watch and definitely on my list of must watch!


Trailer:

Snatch

- 2000

Very similar to Lock, Stock characters with a different story line written and directed by the same man: Guy Richie.

Anyway this movie of the week is a retro movie an older one compared to last time with the brand new movie Fast Five (if you haven't checked it out click here 'Fast Five Movie of the Week' ) 

Thanks For Reading

I shall try to keep up to date :D

Tresni -- Movie of the Week

I've decided that every week I am going to try and have a post about a new or old movie which I either am looking forward to seeing or really like.

This week the movie is........

 

Being a fan of cars, girls (hehe) and general action films I am quite obviously a big fan of the Fast and Furious Series, the next installment being 'Fast Five' for those who do not know the films there have been 4 before this (obviously) basically they follow the story of street racers in the US, and as I said before cars, girls and action are the key factors in these films so they are a must watch! This is why I can't wait for the next one.....
