POTC 1, 2, & 3

Pirates of the Caribbean
1, 2, & 3

POTC or Pirates as I call it, is just what the title says, a pirate movie. But not just any pirate movie. It is about a certain pirate by the name of Captain Jack Sparrow (played by the ever wonderful, Johnny Depp) and his crazy adventures. His intensions are rarely known and he seems to do everything for himself. And then there's Will Turner (played by the very hot Orlando Bloom), the blacksmith turned pirate in ordered to save the girl he loves, Elizabeth Swann (played by the lovely Keira Knightley).

On their first adventure during the first moive, Curse of the Black Pearl, Jack is trying to get his ship back, the Black Pearl, Will is trying to save Elizabeth, who had been kiddnapped by Captain Barbossa the current owner of the Black Pearl, with the help from Jack. Now, Barbossa's crew and himself are under a curse. They want the gold coin Will has and they need his blood.

I won't really tell you anymore if you wish to see the movie.

In Dead Man's Chest, Cutler Beckket, a rather sinister man, wants Jack's compass which points to the thing you want most, not North. Will and Elizabeth are sentenced to hang but if Will brings Beckket the compass, they'll go free. And there's Davy Jones, an evil pirate, the captain of the Flying Dutchman. Davy Jones wants Jack and Jack just wants rum.

Again, I won't ruin the ending.

At World's End, well, if I tell you, i'll ruin it and the last one so just go watch them, they're great. Funny, adventurous, a tad scary but overall great films.

The Hillywood Show

As the title says, this is about the Hillywood Show.

The Hillywood Show was started a few years back by two sisters, Hilary and Hannah Hindi of Las Vegas, Nevada. As an entry in a contest, they created the show with a few of their favorite movie characters. Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scirrorhands from the movie of the same title, Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Mort Rainey from Secret Window.

If you notice a pattern, you have a good eye. Most of the characters were played by Johnny Depp, a well known character actor. The Hindi Sisters love Johnny Depp and Tim Burton (Beetlejuice is another movie they use) and so use many of their movies.

Other characters they use are Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd (starring Johnny Depp and Helen Bohem Carter), Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, Doc and Marty McFly from Back to the Future, Ed Wood and Dolorus from Ed Wood (staring Johnny Depp), Ichabod Crane from Sleepy Hallow (staring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton), Sam and Joon from Benny and Joon (staring Johnny Depp), Napolean Dynamite, James M. Barrie from Finding Neverland (staring Johnny Depp), and of course, Jack Sparrow and Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean (also staring Johnny Depp).

A great list of characters, yes?

I think so. They mix them seamlessly in a crazy plot surrounding Jack and Will trying to get back to their own time. They go to Vegas, Sweeney Todd's London, chased and almost killed by the Termanator, and all with the help of Doc and his time traveling DeLorean.

To be honest, I can't remember how I came across this but I do know this, it's amazing. These two sisters are amazing actors with incredible costumes and make-up (courtesy of Hannah Hindi) and sets and locations around Vegas.

Recently, they have done two parodies, one for the highly acclaimed movie Twilight and another for top box office grossing film The Dark Knight. Both include popular songs and are in a music video form, spoofing the movies in a creative way.

I recommend this show to anyone who likes Johnny Depp, likes good acting, good sets, make-up and costumes or anyone who would appreciate a job well done.


What do this sisters have in store? Well, hopefully episode 16 of their show or maybe another parody. But which ever it is, I know I will love it.
