Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) is the captain of the Flying Dutchman, a legendary ghost ship which haunts the seas in search of cursed souls to serve upon his vessel for a century. He was unable to bear the pain of losing his one true love so he carved out his heart and stored it in the Dead Man’s Chest. As time passes, he has evolved into a creature that is part octopus, part crab and part man. The first time you see him and his wiggly tentacles, you’ll think that Cthulhu spent a sweaty weekend away with one of his female acolytes.

Fearless (2006)

Fearless

There are times when we find ourselves acting like people with which we’d rather not associate. It happens in baby steps and inattention to what is going on around us and our actions towards others. Simple acts of arrogance, minor activities of excess, unexpected stages of ignorance all contribute to getting bigger than one’s britches. Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li) confronts his rival Chin at his birthday party after one of his students is beaten up by him. The fight costs Huo his oldest friend Nong Jinsun (Yong Dong) and Chin his life. In revenge, Chin’s godson massacres Hou’s household before he commits suicide.

Wedding Wars (2006)

Wedding Wars

Gay marriage may be legal in some countries but that doesn’t make it accepted by all of the citizens. In Canada, one of the churches is headed for a schism over it. In America, there are movements to amend the constitution to prohibit it. Along comes this little fable of a movie to show viewers that allowing it won’t end civilization as we know it. Shel Grandy (John Stamos) is hired by his brother Ben (Eric Dane) to plan his wedding to Maggie Welling (Bonnie Somerville), the daughter of Governor Conrad Weilling (James Brolin) who has come out publicly against gay marriage. Being gay, Shel decides to take a stand and goes on strike. Little does he know how far it will spread.

The Da Vinci Code (2006)

The Da Vinci Code

Humanity has done some remarkably evil things in the name of religion. It has also done many altruistic ones for the same reason. It seems that a lot of them evolve from an interpretation of past pronouncements rather than direct statements. Such is the burden of human history that it leads us to a point where sides have been chosen with a goal of eliminating the presence of another. We have to ask ourselves whether what we infer that has gone on before needs to change or remain static. This is the question Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) as a Harvard Professor of Symbology and Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), a cryptologist and puzzle solver, ask themselves and one another. Their quest takes them around Europe, ending up in England with a stop in London at Westminister Abbey for a clue near the tomb of Sir Issac newton. We see them cross the street going to the abbey, overlaid with the day of Sir Issac’s funeral. There we see the attendees along with the London landscape of the time.

Night at the Museum (2006)

Night at the Museum

Mockery is spiteful even if it unintentional. Rebecca (Carla Gugino) is writing her doctoral thesis on the tracker for the Lewis and Clark expedition, Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck). Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), the new night security guard, tells her that she can find out more by questioning the exhibits because they come alive after sundown. Rebecca is crestfallen when she thinks he is making fun of her, the history geek, and all of the work she has dedicated her college life to doing.

What sort of proof would you need before you believe? Is visual proof sufficient or would you have to become a part of it? ATF agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) is approached by a FBI Agent Andrew Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer) and offered an opportunity to view the past. He is skeptical, confused and intrigued. Because if it true, he can solve a terrorist bombing.
