Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls.

Though I must agree with a previous review about the later seasons being a bit better, Season 1 certainly has it's merits, and is worth the price of admission. How much better does it get to see Pyle and Sgt. Carter come back from a survival course and actually gain weight?

All the reviews keep omitting reference to what is one of the funniest bits of Season 4 and maybe the entire series. In Opie's Ill Gotten Gain, Barney tries to recite the Preamble to the Constitution from memory -- classic.

When you think of all the situation comedies that combine comedy in the work place with the domestic humor of the home life, "The Dick Van Dyke Show" has to be considered the prototype. The show was created by Carl Reiner, who had honed his skills after nine seasons in the cast of "Your Show of Shows" and whatever else Sid Caesar want to do. Originally Reiner had intended to be the star of the show rather than a writer, and indeed there is a pilot episode in which he played Rob Petrie with Barbara Birton as Laura, Gary Morgan as Ritchie, and Morty Gunty and Sylvia Miles as Buddy and Sally. Of course, by the time the show aired on CBS it had Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Larry Mathews, Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie in the key roles, with Reiner showing up from time to time as Alan...
