About twenty minutes into Dark Shadows, which has steadily built up a gothic horror ambience, there is a moment that literally gave me goosebumps. It’s one of only a few moments of subtlety and nuance and possibly the moment that I knew that I was having a good, creepy time.
Remember that Lone Ranger movie that Disney de-greenlighted because of budgetary concerns – and was restructured to fit their requirements? Well, it’s being filmed as we speak – and we have our first look at Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in the lead roles.
Tagline: From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski comes Disney/Bruckheimer Films’ THE LONE RANGER. Tonto (Johnny Depp), a spirit warrior on a personal quest, joins forces in a fight for justice with John Reid (Armie Hammer), a lawman who has become a masked avenger.
After first encountering Rango’s brilliance in 3D, I was pleased to discover that the 2D version on the DVD makes up for the loss of that extra dimension by being bright, sharp and gorgeous. An unexpected plus was the inclusion of an extra feature that’s not listed on the cover – two, if you include an extended version of the film.
It seems there’s definitely some swash left in the buckle for the Pirates of the Caribbean series. On Stranger Tides is easily the best sequel in the series for a number of reasons.
