Par for the Corsair
Like the first Pirates, this one is a successful combination of breezy and blackhearted.

Remotely Entertaining
The really funny thing about this movie is, magic remote excepted, how surprisingly successful it is in reflecting the ups and downs of everyday life.

Death Is on the Air
This film's great achievement is that it makes you face the gloomiest facts of life head-on--and then lets you walk out with a smile.
