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. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the... Learn More

CRIMINAL MINDS is a very good police procedural show which follows a team of FBI profilers who "get into the heads" of the nefarious villians. The first season has some pretty intense segments focusing on serial killers, kidnappers, arsonists and all kinds of assorted baddies.
The cast is top notch: Mandy Patinkin returns to tv after CHICAGO HOPE to play the post-traumatic stressed head of the team.

I saw this movie on late night cable. It's a wonderful substitute for "Silence of the Lambs" when I'm too lazy to pull out the DVD. Plot is excruciatingly similar-female cop has to drop her psychological armor to gain the trust of a psycho killer in order to free a high profile victim (a relative of a politician no less). Tierney and Brody gave very good performances. Too bad the characters' motives made absolutely no sense. One curious point-the husband/captain was named Tim. Actor Terry Kinney who played him also plays Tim McManus on HBO's Oz. To be typecast as a cop named Tim...
