Aye Aye Captain!

Water! Ships! Pirates! Captains! Swords! And we are back in the world of Jack Sparrow... Eh, sorry, there should be a "Captain" in there somewhere! The phenomenal series is into its fourth instalment now with the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The anticipation is high, the thrill is back and so is Johnny Depp, reprising once again the role of the swashbuckling and at times bumbling pirate that landed him his first Oscar nomination. The summer season has started off well with Thor and Fast Five receiving strong comments coupled with strong earnings on the box office, but Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the movie that holds the green ticket to a possible $300 million mark on the US box office. Each of the previous 3 movies achieved this feat and also grossed about $2.7 billion in worldwide revenues. Staggering to say the least! The story for this instalment of the franchise embarks on to a new adventure with Jack Sparrow hunting for the mysterious Fountain of Youth. While the presence of Captain Barbosa would continue to keep the charm alive, introduction of Angelica (Penelope Cruz) and Blackbeard (Ian McShane) will surely fire up things. The signs are bright, the sails have been set and the ship is off again... hopefully for a successful cruise!
