Even the Covid-19 pandemic hasn’t been able to douse the flames of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s messy legal battle, and it would appear that we’re still far away from a possible reconciliation.
Just when we thought that things had settled between Depp and his former partner, the Pirates of the Caribbean star filed a multi-million defamation lawsuit to clear his name after an op-ed by The Sun called him a “wife-beater.” Now, in the wake of new evidence as part of this recent court feud, we’ve learned that the Aquaman actress twisted the truth by playing the victim in their initial legal battle for divorce, painting herself as the one who’d been wronged when in truth, she was the one who emotionally and physically abused Depp.
Obviously, seeing as how these allegations ruined his reputation and career, this was a huge victory for the actor.

A good franchise finds nooks and crannies to explore, taking the beloved characters to new places, letting us see how they handle new challenges or opponents.
A bad franchise retreads the elements from the first offering without really making any effort to show us anything new or to deepen our affection for the character(s).
This summer, sadly, we have been presented with several misfires starting with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) was a breath of fresh air when he first stepped ashore many, many years ago. But the tipsy captain with the heart of gold and squishy moral code is pretty much the same here, film number five. We’re learning nothing new about him, we’re seeing him do nothing we haven’t seen before and frankly, we’re bored.
Visually, Dead Men Tell No Tales, is fine.

With Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales hitting UK cinemas last month, what better time to launch a brand new line of rum? After all, a pirates favourite drink is rum right? Right!
The latest Pirates… movie sees infamous constantly drunk pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) face off against his old rival, Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem) – who just happens to be one of the undead! Salazar, along with an army of deadly ghost sailors, escapes from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack’s only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy.

Is this really only the fifth entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise? It feels like the 50th – bloated, boring, repetitive, draining. (Let me count the ways.) Except for series newcomer Javier Bardem, who brings a dollop of fresh mischief to this paycheck party, Dead Men Tell No Tales has all the flavor of a rotting leftovers.
The story is the same rehash it was the last three times. Back in 2003, Johnny Depp delighted us and the Academy (he nabbed an Oscar nomination, remember) as Captain Jack Sparrow,...

Ah, Pirates of the Caribbean. The plucky blockbuster franchise that spawned from a Disneyland ride in 2003 is a teenager now, fourteen years old and emerging from its bedroom with a surly expression for more high-sea hijinks. Set nineteen years after the events of the 2011 film On Stranger Tides, Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (or Dead Man Tell No Tales if you prefer the post-Colonial title) is the fifth installment in the series – and the way Hollywood is going, we should all be grateful it’s not a reboot.
Instead, the story picks up with Henry Turner, the son of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) attempting to find the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp, reprising arguably his most famous role) so he can break the curse that has condemned his father to the sea. He’s not the only one looking for...

Javier Bardem is one of my favorite actors to see on the big screen. From his Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in No Country For Old Men, to his role as a James Bond villain in Skyfall, Bardem always puts on quite a show. He will hit the big screen again this Friday in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales as the vengeful Captain Armando Salazar. Now thanks to CinemaBlend, we have word on what might be his next role.

Exclusive: Orlando Bloom talks Pirates 5; says sequel has “the best of what we had at the beginning”
Author: Scott Davis
In amongst all of the summer movie madness that is slowly cranking up in the film world, many will soon the return of some of their favourite franchises whether it’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Transformers, Alien, Planet of the Apes or the recently released Fast & Furious 8.
But one new sequel that has many question marks over it is the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Dead Men Tell No Tales, and while the previous few entries have been big hits they haven’t been received with as much positivity as the first adventure.

The new Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales opens with a bit of monologuing from Javier Bardem’s Captain Armando Salazar, who hated pirates in life and hasn’t quite gotten over that despite now being undead. Not that his grudge is unfounded: In addition to being a general scourge, pirates had something to do with his being trapped in something called the Devil’s Triangle. And he seems to especially hate Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), which again, is probably with good reason. In fact, no one seems to care for Jack in this trailer—not the kid (Brendon Thwaites) who breaks him out of jail, nor his old compatriots, or the astronomer played by Kaya Scodelario. But that’s never prevented him from assembling a crew before, and it doesn’t hinder him here either.
