Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides unleashes second trailer

By Ryan Fleming March 21, 2011

It would be easy to start this post off by saying things like “Avast, ye scallywags”, but that would just be silly. Besides, as the release of Disney’s fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film approaches, you can be sure that the marketing push will make even the most innocuous things feature a pirate slant. The Whopparrrrrrr with cheese? Don’t rule it out.

This summer Johnny Depp returns to the role that made him famous—well rich…well, richer—as he dons the garb of Captain Jack Sparrow once more. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are sitting this one out, as Sparrow is dragged into a hunt to find the Fountain of Youth.

Directed by Rob Marshall (Nine, Memoirs of a Geisha), the film also stars Geoffrey Rush as Barbosa, Ian McShane as the villain Blackbeard, and Penlope Cruz as Blackbeard’s daughter and a possible love interest for Sparrow.

Check out the trailer below and look for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2D, 3D and IMAX on May 20, 2011.

Zack Snyder is back in the top 10 with Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver, the second film in his space opera series. Despite Snyder's popularity, the new Rebel Moon film could not unseat What Jennifer Did, which is the No. 1 movie for the second straight week. New additions to the top 10 include the comedy Knocked Up at No. 8 and the action movie Anna at No. 2. Below, we've listed the top 10 movies in the U.S. from April 15 to April 21, along with general information about each film, such as genre, rating, cast, and synopsis.

Deadpool & Wolverine: Everything we know about the film formerly known as Deadpool 3

Deadpool and Wolverine stand together in Deadpool & Wolverine.

In retrospect, we should have suspected that Deadpool & Wolverine wouldn't keep its most famous co-star out of the title. In 2022, Ryan Reynolds coaxed Hugh Jackman into reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan. Once that happened, the name Deadpool 3 didn't fully convey how monumental this film would be.

So Marvel Studios has officially retitled it as Deadpool & Wolverine. Jackman has also humorously rebranded the film as Wolverine & [expletive], which would make this R-rated flick a lot harder to market!

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up

Jamie knights Brienne in episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
