Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End True,there
are underdeveloped storylines, overboard swashbuckling scenes,
yet . . . Being Johnny Depp hallucinogens, knave Keith Richards
guitar strums, the fey the feints the quirks and the quips
call for a rousing round of Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates life
for me.

The
Wedding Banquet The following missive courtesy of acerbic
attorney Dennis Wong:
Katy:
Michelle and I watched Ang Lee's Wedding Banquet last
night and were pleasantly entertained, however, we both agreed
the screenplay is rather pedestrian. It merely chronicles
everyday Chinese life. The story is particularly uneventful
when compared to the drama and deceit that occurs at the Wong
family on a daily basis. As a result, I would like you to
visit my 98 year old grandmother or my parents for the magic
"four" days and evaluate whether my family is worthy
of a screenplay or, at minimum, a sitcom. I really don't want
to extend myself if the end result is not marketable.
Thanks,
Dennis

When not reviewing films, Mr. Wong fills his time as a Park
City tennis pro and planning his campaign for a City Council
seat. Finally, our trek up Main Street will be safe during
Sundance.
