I'll second (well, Nth, really) [livejournal.com profile] dkapell's recommendation to go see Pirates of the Caribbean. As in right now.

Saw it last night with [livejournal.com profile] tpau, [livejournal.com profile] ladysprite, [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur, [livejournal.com profile] msmemory, [livejournal.com profile] umbran, [livejournal.com profile] laurion, [livejournal.com profile] asdr83, [livejournal.com profile] outlander, and three people who haven't been eaten by LJ yet (an impressive majority, there). The film is excellent in every way. It has good acting from all the main players, but especially superb work from Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush. It is beautifully balanced between macabre drama and clever physical and verbal comedy, each twisty enough to surprise me most of the time. It is thoroughly original, which is a rarity in the modern movie industry. As a final touch of coolness, it contains a number of visual references to the Disney World ride of the same name (on which the film is "based"). I would watch it again right now. Go see it.
