Yo ho ho and a bottle of brass monkey, it.s officially a pirate.s life for Hugh Jackman. This was rumored. Today, it has been confirmed that the X-Men and Les Miserables star has signed on to play the vicious pirate Blackbeard in Warner Bros. planned spin on the Peter Pan myth, Pan, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Greg Silverman, president, creative development and worldwide production at Warner Bros., said in a statement: "Hugh Jackman always delivers indelible performances that resonate with audiences. We know he will create a Blackbeard who will be a powerful presence in this original Peter Pan adventure." And he will. Jackman.s a go-to actor who rarely gets the credits he deserves. Don.t get me wrong. He.s an A-lister with a mega-franchise under his belt and an Oscar nomination on his resume. But how many other actors can claim to be as...

If the title didn’t make the fact perfectly clear, there are spoilers to be found here. Some of them are from 1986, but still. Not everybody may have gotten around to seeing Trial of a Timelord in its entirety yet, and they may still be harboring some hope that it all resolves in a satisfying and interesting way. (About that…)
In any case – Here be Spoilers, Matey. Arggh. Yo ho ho, or does nobody actually say that?
Ahem.
Ok, starting now. Last chance to miss out on anything that the title of this article didn’t already spoil for you.
Are we all emotionally prepared? Ok, on your own head be it from this point forward.

We writer types cling to our laptops like they're some sort of bionic extra limbs during our travels — much to the chagrin of the poor Tsa clerks whose line we're holding up to scramble the suckers into their own little x-ray boxes, no doubt — so, is it sort of the same thing for a method-style actor to always keep his or her most prized costume within arm's reach?
For Johnny Depp, apparently, it is ... and not just because he's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, either.
According to him, it's necessary that he has his infamously snazzy "Pirates of the Caribbean" Jack Sparrow suit at the ready wherever he goes 'cause he's hip to pop into the swashbuckler gear every now to surprise the "kiddies" (his word, not ours). With what, you ask? Yo ho ho and a bottle of ... milk? 99 bottles of formula on the wall?

I know what you’re thinking: the last Assassin’s Creed just came out! Well, just as developer Ubisoft promised, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag appears to be a departure from the tangled technological-mystical web woven by previous entries in the series.
In the two minutes of released footage (all almost-uncanny CGI images) we see a cranky old pirate/Blackbeard lecture a room of younger pirates about the scariest seafarer he’s ever known: Captain Edward Kenway, a familiar-looking monk/warrior who murders and saunters about murderously. For a few seconds, a bed of naked wenches smile at him...

Yo ho ho and a little too much rum.
Alison Whelan, 51, who reportedly hijacked a ferry while yelling at police officers that she was Jack Sparrow, has been jailed.
Whelan was on a two-day bender near a harbor in Devon, England last September when she called emergency services and said she thought she was having a seizure, according to the Sun.
Paramedics arrived to find Whelan and her friend, Tristam Locke, aboard a moored 45-foot passenger ferry, the Telegraph reports. Two technicians attempted to board the vessel, but Locke became violent, and the medics opted to wait on shore until police showed up.
Whelan then began untying the boat and as it drifted away, witnesses say they heard her shouting "I'm a pirate" and "I'm Jack Sparrow."
Whelan was not only drunk, the BBC reports, but had also been eating deadly nightshade -- a poisonous hallucinogenic plant.

Yo ho ho. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' the fourth entry in the Disney franchise, heads up the list of home video releases this week, offering pure fun and adventure as Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz swash buckle their way across the screen. If 'Pirates' gives you scurvy, there's always 'Bad Teacher,' a rather disappointing comedy starring Cameron Diaz that basically offers up a female version of Jack Black from 'School of Rock' (though she's a lot easier on the eyes). And, for fans with a sweet tooth for 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,' Warner Home Video has put together an impressive 40th anniversary set. Read on.

Hollywood has long had a love/hate relationship with pirates. On the one hand, films like "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" continue to flourish at the box office, raking in billions of dollars from pirate enthusiasts.
But while on-screen piracy is great, studios aren't so keen on real world piracy. It's a funny thing.
We have a feeling Hollywood execs aren't laughing right now, though, because TorrentFreak has just released their list of the ten most pirated movies of all time -- and you may be surprised at just which movies top the chart.
Before we get into the goodies, it should be noted that in this case, the piracy in question is limited only to users of BitTorrent, who utilize the file sharing program to freely distribute whatever they feel like. So we're not discussing that guy who already has a bunch of oddly dubbed foreign language...

Yo ho ho and a bottle of shrug? Despite massive worldwide grosses, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opened with "just" $90 million at the box office in North America over the weekend. Though while that pales in comparison to the previous Pirates films, it accounts for the largest opening weekend of 2011 thus far. Translation: you saw it, so let's talk On Stranger Tides.

Yo ho ho! It’s the Pirate’s life for me! Or maybe a viewing of this new entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean series instead. It’s a rollicking tale of swash and buckle that peeks at what it must have been like to be a pirate in the days of old while still giving audiences one heck of a fun ride. I’ll sit with a box of popcorn and watch rather than swab a deck, thanks everso.
When we last left Captain Jack Sparrow…oh, who cares? The last two movies – Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End if you’re bothering to keep score — felt like nails in Davy Jones’ Locker for any possible continuation of this franchise. But On Stranger Tides brushes off the dust, the seemingly endless sub-plots and characters, and gives us what we want; more Jack, and a bit of the old ultra violence.

Pirates, sirens and eye patch lady again… oh my!
It’s foggy, there’s a pirate ship and some very gruff talking pirates. One of them has been injured. He has the tiniest cut but, as the Captain so rightly points out, he’s dead. There’s some lovely singing and then the man disappears. Oh and did I mention he has a black spot on his hand… probably should have. Then the Doctor is there. Cue titles.
There’s plenty of talk of how the Doctor and Co. got there and the Doctor really hams up the pirate stereotypes before Amy pops up to save the day. Even the Captain puts down his gun and then some dramatic wannabe Shakespearean profoundly announces that she has killed him. He gets a black spot and lo and behold so does Rory. Uh oh.

"Yo ho ho! Oh, does nobody actually say that?"
A pirate ship with a dwindling crew sits inert in a becalmed section of the ocean. We discover they are dwindling because as they have been sitting with empty sails for several days, what appears to be a supernatural demon siren apparently has been killing them one by one. When a person receives the slightest injury, a telltale black spot appears on the palm of the hand (a homage to Robert Louis Stevenson), and he or she is then drawn to the siren's song before vanishing without a trace.
In response to a distress call, the Tardis appears onboard to the confusion of the ship's captain and his mates. The Doctor tries to assuage their fears, but the captain names them stowaways and sends The Doctor out onto that trusty plot device that is the pirate ship plank. "Doxy" Amy is sent into the hold,...

Move over, Johnny Depp, because the real Pirate Captain is finally here -- and he goes by the name of Hugh Grant.
Sony Pictures has glommed on to the hype around this month's release of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" in order to announce their own upcoming pirate-themed epic, "The Pirates! Band of Misfits," with Hugh Grant providing voicework for the animated tale's leading man.
So is this a Yo Ho Ho or a Yo Oh No?
According to the official press release -- which you can read in its entirety over at Coming Soon -- "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" is a stop-motion, animated 3-D adventure featuring Grant as "the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him,...

Yo ho ho, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may 2011 deliver us all a lot less "Miranda." I think this year should be a good one, TV-wise: I'm looking forward to new episodes of "The Thick of It," hopefully more "Misfits," more "Downton Abbey," a bit of "Psychoville," a new series of "Skins," and then of course all the stuff that I don't know about that's currently being made. Of course, all of these programmes will be made on a shoestring since this new government, which I don't want to emit a value judgment on, will be cutting the arts down to the very gills. Just one of the many reasons that this government sucks David Blaine's balls and smells of rotten stingray on a bed of slimy artichokes and peppery betrayal. God I hate this government.
Anyway, let's talk about some of the programmes that were on over the Christmas period,...

The IMDb250. A list of the top 250 films as ranked by the users of the biggest Internet movie site on the web. It is based upon the ratings provided by the users of the Internet Movie Database, which number into the millions. As such, it’s a perfect representation of the opinions of the movie masses, and arguably the most comprehensive ranking system on the Internet.
It’s because of this that we at HeyUGuys (and in this case we is myself and Barry) have decided to set ourselves a project. To watch and review all 250 movies on the list. We’ve frozen the list as of January 1st of this year. It’s not as simple as it sounds, we are watching them all in one year, 125 each.
This is our 30th update, my next five films watched for the project. You can find all our previous week’s updates here.

Interview: Composer Maury Yeston Talks About Creating ‘Nine’, Writing ‘The Star War Christmas Album’
Back in 2002, Rob Marshall took the Broadway film Chicago and turned it into a big-budget Hollywood musical with names like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere. A few years later, Marshall tried to capture lightning in a bottle again by adapting Maury Yeston’s Nine.
The film was a major critical success, getting nominated for four Academy Awards and five Golden Globes. Rob Marshall had done it once again, with the help of his immense crew and the blessing, as well as the guiding hand of the show’s original creator, Maury Yeston.
We were lucky enough to speak with Yeston about his work on both the original Nine and it’s silver-screen adaptation, as well as possible film work in the future, and an interesting credit on his first published piece of music.
Check out the interview after the jump, and be sure to pick up Marshall’s Nine on DVD and Blu-Ray everywhere today.

Reently, Hollywood was all abuzz when "Johnny Depp appeared at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim and confirmed he would be reprising his role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the first film of a new Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy." However, the involvement of Depp is now allegedly in question; in reference to the project, he said "there's a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment." The theory is that Depp's sudden doubts are directly related to the departure of "the head of Walt Disney Studios, Dick Cook, who Depp credits for why he works with Disney and why he became involved in the Pirates franchise." Now, Depp has raised a different flag, saying there is a "potential deal in place" to return but that...(it) will depend on how good the script is." Should Johnny Depp drop out of this proposed new trilogy,...
