Can This Power Hitter Bring the Pirates Back to Glory?
Josh Bell was making the big leagues look easy. Pittsburgh’s prized prospect announced his presence to the baseball world last July, launching a go-ahead grand slam into the summer night sky. And suddenly crowds were gathering daily to catch a glimpse of the 24-year-old slugger. Still, one month into his first full MLB season, the […]

Pirates of the Caribbean 5 shock: FIRST LOOK at Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann – WATCH
It was generally considered that the 32-year-old actress would not be returning to the role that made her a household name. Knightley played Elizabeth Swan in the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies from 2003 to 2007. After she and Orlando Bloom took a break from the franchise by not appearing in the fourth […]
Michael Crichton’s ‘Micro’ Sets Sail With ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Director

Because box office is king, we’re getting another Pirates of the Caribbean movie whether we like it or not. The jury is still out as to whether this will be the last film in the franchise or if Disney is just on the verge of relieving Johnny Depp of his nautical duties as Captain Jack […]
‘Archer & Armstrong’ Tracks Down ‘Zombieland’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Veterans
While Sony struggles to build an entire movie universe out of the Spider-Man franchise, another comic book world is waiting in the wings. The studio partnered up with Valiant Comics a few years back to bring series like Bloodshot and Harbinger into theaters, but it’s been a slow road and a revolving door of writers and directors. Hopefully, […]
This Doc About One of The Internet's Biggest Pirates Actually Made Me Feel Sorry for the Guy
Image via XYZ Films The man who created Megaupload got insanely rich via morally dubious means. So it’s pretty amazing that the new documentary about the German-born hacker-turned-millionaire generates any sympathy. But it does, by sketching out an easy-to-swallow narrative alleging that powerful corporate and government forces systematically set out to destroy his life. [embedded […]
