Pirates of the Caribbean 2 09 07 06

I saw “pirates of the Caribbean” a while back, and loved it. I am not sure if I liked the second on quite so much.

Good Bits

This film had loads of funny jokes in it, my favourite part was when all of the pirates were trying to escape from a cannibal island, which was hilarious. Also, the actors were great and the way the movie was made was really good.

The bad bits

The plot was strange, and some of the things were a bit similiar. Also, it is quite long, 149 minutes.

What is really annoying is that it ended on a cliffhanger, with lots of problems still to be solved. I will have to see the next one!

4 stars

The Witch trade trilogy 03 07 06

Recently I have been reading a series of books called The Witch Trade, Time Withches and The Witches Of The Wild West. I have barely started the Witches Of THe Wild West, But the others were good.

The Plot

‘Abby Clover and her friend Spike, the curious boy, found washed ashore after a great storm, are drawn into a world of witches, hidden caverns, fabulous boats, captive children, lost parents, and a quest to find Ice Dust – the source of magical power. With their strange new companions – Captain Starlight, Benbow the giant albatross, and Sir Chadwick Street, flamboyant Master of the Light Witches – they hurtle through perilous seas, face fearsome monsters, and do battle with an enemy, darker and dirtier than they could ever have imagined. With their last sprinkle of Ice Dust gone, the dark fortress of the Night Witch headquarters is a dangerous place to be and it takes more than Abby’s new-found talent for becoming invisible to save them.

My Rating

4 stars, not as good as Harry Potter or something, but good.
