It’s Dirty

I’ve always categorized politics as dirty, that’s why I usually steer clear of the subject. It’s always a big debate among opposing opinions, specially here in the Philippines. I mentioned in my previous post that the candidate I voted for the mayoral position was not winning, well he was declared winner, according to our local news. Hurrah!

Along with that, the candidate who lost is sour graping, big time. Their party is now accusing the other of cheating. I know a lot of first hand information regarding that issue. At one point, a man punched my mom’s friend, a mother, at the back during the canvassing of votes because that woman saw the chairman reading their candidate’s name, when it’s actually the other candidate’s name. I can only hope for the best. I am actually glad that most of the senators that I voted for are getting ahead, according to the last unofficial results flashed on TV.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Nobody move! I think I lost me brain… — Jack Sparrow

Oh yes, Captain Jack Sparrow is back!

Unlike other films that we over hyped by the media, and made us a little disappointed… this third addition of The Pirates of the Caribbean is not on that list. Like the previous 2 films, it takes time before the action starts, like waiting for the meat to cook, but once the ball gets rolling, it doesn’t stop there. I know that POTC2 was a bit disappointing because of the ending… well, this one would truly make up for it. I knew they should’ve not omitted Barbossa’s character on the 2nd installment. The CGI effects on this film is not disappointing either. I mean, talk about the “Fish people”.

New characters were added, like Chow Yun Fat as Captain Sao Feng, which fitted right into the movie. There were a lot of quick-witted jests, especially from Sparrow, that surely made my viewing experience much more pleasurable. You would definitely see a lot of Sparrows in the movie. Two were killed. *lol* So, don’t eat the Captain’s peanuts!

I applaud Keira Knightley’s performance. Johnny Depp as Sparrow has always been great. Well, Depp, like a great actor as he is, definitely made the character very believable and memorable. Bloom, well, I liked him as an elf. But I give him props during the battle on this film.

I love the final battle in the movie. A lot of action and funny lines in between. Watch out for the wedding and Jack’s dad!

I am hoping that this is not the end, because pirates have never ending adventures. Just ask Jack, who is off to get the Agua Vida. Hahaha!

One question though, What really happened to Calypso?
