Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides Teaser Trailer Released

I didn't even know they were making another Pirates of the Caribbean movie but now that the teaser trailer has been released I need to go watch Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.

Surprisingly, I haven't seen these two sequels but would have loved to. The original Pirates of the Caribbean movie was shot in my home country, St. Vincent and the Grenadines which makes it a bit special for me.

Pirates is an interesting adventure/fantasy franchise which I hope they don't beat to death. I mean, can you imagine watching Pirates of the Caribbean X: Jack Sparrow vs Captain Hook?

The Trailer

The movie is set to be released in 3D in 2011 with Johnny Depp returning as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Sandra Bullock - Best Actress Winner Oscars 2010 + Mo'nique

Sandra Bullock won best actress at the 2010 Academy awards for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy in the football movie The Blind Side.

I'm really glad she won the Oscar because I read this morning that she won a Razzie Award for her performance in last year's All About Steve.

This is the first time someone has won an Oscar for Best Actress and a Razzie for Worst Actress in the same year so to me, to quote Chris Brown, its like wow!

I first saw Sandra Bullock in the 1994 movie Speed which is one of my favorite suspense movies. I've seen my share of good performances from Ms Bullock and also some bad ones like the unbelievably bad sequel to Speed.

Congrats to Sandra Bullock, 2010's Best Actress Winner who can now be called Academy Award Winning Actress Sandra Bullock in her next trailer or on her next DVD release.

Also congrats to Mo'nique on her Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in Precious. That is a great accomplishment in African American film.

10 Tweets Review: Zombieland

This week's edition of 10 Tweets looks at the new comedy Zombieland which looks like fun because I like movies with zombies and Woody Harrelson. Was the movie actually fun though? Moviegoers on Twitter share their experience but first an overview.

Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin
Runtime: 80 mins.
MPAA Rating: R


Synopsis: Two men have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-totin', zombie-slayin' badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

And now lets see what our Twitter moviegoers are saying:

Wow an overwhelming response to Zombieland! Everyone who saw it loved it. Zombieland gets a rating of 10 out of 10 - a first since we started reviewing movies like this. It was very hard to find anyone on Twitter who didn't like Zombieland. I'm definitely going to check it out and you should too.

And an awesome bonus tweet:

Opening this week is the based on a true story comedy, The Informant which stars Matt Damon. This week we check in as always with Twitter for the scoop on whether you should go see the movie or wait for a rainy night to download it online.

But first a little about The Informant.

Director: Steven Soderbergh

Runtime: 108 mins.
MPAA Rating: R

Synopsis: A rising star in the agricultural industry suddenly turns whistleblower in hopes of gaining a lucrative promotion and becoming a hero of the common people, inadvertently revealing his penchant for helping himself to the corporate coffers and ultimately threatening to derail the very investigation he helped to launch.

Wow. I smell a disappointment. Twitter users got The Informant a rating of 3.5 out of 10. Understand that Steven Soderbergh's movies can be a little complicated and hard to get but this might actually reek. Maybe.
