Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

And here I was, going to the movies to see "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" with the unpredictable Captain Jack Sparrow.


As you surely know, this is the 4th movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, with Johnny Depp returning as Cap. Jack Sparrow and a new addition to the main cast with Penélope Cruz.


This time they are in search of the Fountain of Youth, its water can restore you a few years with a slight footnote.
There are two chalices, one gives life and the other takes life, someone always dies for the other to live...


Well let me tell you what I most like about this movie, might not be the obvious things.

First I really like Syrena and Philip's bond, a man of faith and a being from another world. The worry about another person's well being, I really wish I could see that more often in the real world.
Other thing I like was to have Jack finally admitting to have feelings for someone, even if that was the way it ended, with me laughing at the end :)


Really funny movie, blockbuster so far, you should really see it 

The Life Before Her Eyes (2007)

I saw this movie in December 28th of 2008. I had this review in another blog and I just found it so here it is.

----------------------------

I have to say I didn't expected it. Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood in an amazing movie.

You should see the movie The Life Before Her Eyes, but really see it, don't read anything about it (like what I write next lol), don't make up your mind about the type of movie you are going to see... Just watch it, feel it and you might realize what I'm talking about.

Is is true that your life passes before your eyes when you are in the face of death? But is it your past or your future? What do you see?

My sister doesn't like movies like this one, she likes something, how can I call it, solid, with a "the end". I liked the movie, maybe because it surprised me, it made me thing about lots of things, it made me come here and tell you about it.
I don't want to ruin it and start telling scenes and events but it's hard to explain what I felt without doing so.

When you're young, being an adult is so far away, you have your whole life ahead and it seems that everything is possible. You have your friends, you make your own mistakes and you learn from them, you grow up, you begin to see what life is about.
I never thought about my future, what I would do or how I would do it.

An event like that one in the movie, it changes everything. I've never heard of such thing happening in Portugal, only in the US and one European country. I have no idea how I would feel or react to that situation.
What makes a person do that? How mad, angry, disappointed, hurt would you have to be to hurt so many people? It's something I don't understand.
And this movie just skips it, it takes you to a single moment in time, the moment where you choose, the moment you find out what you're made of, how big is your heart, those seconds where you can see everything.
I really thought I was seeing her life, with her guilt, her sadness, her choices, her friend's dream life but I was wrong.

You should see the movie "The Life Before Her Eyes", but really see it! Just watch it, feel it and you might realize what I'm talking about.

It's time to go.
See u soon
bye

I stand by what I wrote then, I really loved this movie.
