What movie should I see this weekend with the kids?

and I did too, even after all the nasty reviews that loved to hate it. NOT confusing, NOT too long, not too many minor characters and threads, not tedious fight scenes, at ALL -- I thought the fight scenes (both in this movie and the first Pirates) were great strengths, fast-moving, clever and inventive in conception as well as execution, and so human-scaled rather than the high-tech, low-touch marathons one sees ad nauseum in summer movies.

Scrumptious!

p.s. the previews accompanying this movie interested me, too, especially Night at the Musuem and Accepted, both of which look like education-themed movies in which "standard" is decidedly passe' and the unique experience is what counts. . .finally the culture catches up to me!

Favorite Daughter ordered and received a book this week titled, "The Gospel According to the World's Greatest Superhero," arguing that Superman like Narnia's Aslan the Lion, was modeled on the Christ stories, from birth to death, resurrection and even the Second Coming.

...(discusses) spiritual truth in the Superman saga and our culture's entertainment...

(should have been another James Bond girl)

Johnny Depp and his pirate friends are keeping all the box-office treasure for themselves.

Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest remained the top movie for the third straight weekend, hauling in $35 million and lifting its total to $321.7 million after just 17 days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The Disney sequel passed the $305 million domestic total that its predecessor, 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, rang up during its entire six-month run.
