If any film is deserving a mega million dollar budget ... it is undoubtedly one made by Disney. And what better to be a live action, star-studded adventure than my favorite Disneyland ride, Pirates of the Caribbean . When I first caught wind of this swashbuckling tale, I grimaced at the thought of another animated film cursed with the voice overs of various famous film scalawags. But my fears were soon rescued when I clicked on the movie's trailer, and viewed this big screen hopeful in all it's preview glory. When you grow tired of super heroes and evil machinery this summer, be sure to squeeze this fun one into your movie going schedule.

Researching and writing about comic books turned big box office films has been the most fun for me this last year - as well as, the most exhausting work. At first glance, I was ready to dismiss The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as pure Hollywood exploitation for the all mighty dollar. But when I heard Sean Connery was going to play one of these "super heroes" I felt I owed it to him to dig deeper into the comic legend. As it turned out, this was not your typical comic book story, at all.
