Pirates 4
For me personally, this is the installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series that I enjoyed the most. Johnny Dep as Jack Sparrow is as crazy and hilarious as always, if not more so in this installment. Penelope Cruz does a good job, even if her dialogue is a bit stupid at times. The […]
What If…
This movie is one of the few Christian movies that I’ve seen that does not fall into the “corny” category.
