Best pirate movies Best pirate movies. Pirate movies have been a Hollywood staple since the silent film era. They did well in theaters for many years, but fell on hard times until Disney revived them with "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." The fourth installment, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," just hit theaters, so we take a look back at the best pirate movies of all time. 'The Sea Hawk' Just before he directed this classic love story, Michael Curtiz showed that he also knew something about pirates. Errol Flynn played the pirate in this classic, and was there ever any actor who better swashed a buckle? Johnny Depp has nice cheekbones, but everything he brings to the character of Jack Sparrow was done first by Flynn 'Captain Blood' Although they later reached pirate perfection in "The Sea Hawk," director Michael Curtiz and Errol Flynn combined for one of the greatest sea adventu...

People obviously love the apocalypse, and that makes me smile.

In the wake of Fringe's shocking third season finale "The Day We Died," a new featurette sees the cast teasing what to expect from season four. We're not sure if Joshua Jackson should be all smiles, considering the reality-bending twists  Fringe  writers will have to come up with to get Peter Bishop back on the show for the fourth season due out this Fall.  Not only that, but he'll have to watch his back now that Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel) has officially been promoted to series regular. It's been only a few weeks since the shocking events of Fringe 's third season finale "The Day We Died," which saw Jackson's Peter Bishop suddenly fading out of existence after using the machine to tear holes between universes and finally bridge the gap in the parallel universe war (isn't this show great?), but already cast and crew are hard at work at plotting out season four. And don't you worry folks, showrunners Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have as...

Stephen Fry does it all. He writes, acts, speaks, blogs -- basically, he's putting us all out of jobs. His latest role will be that of an ordinary human, albeit one who gets to hang out with hobbits and dwarves and dragons. Compared to the  The Lord of the Rings  trilogy,  The Hobbit was always a lighter adventure, a prequel meant for younger readers as a segue into the epic, dark experiences of the Fellowship of the Ring and their quest to Mordor. Keeping with his past trilogy, it's likely that Peter Jackson's upcoming adaptation of  The Hobbit  will keep the same grim tone, but with recent casting additions, there may be room in the film for a bit more comedy. According to Peter Jackson's official Facebook page, British comedian/writer Stephen Fry has been cast in the film as the Master of Laketown. Bilbo Baggins and his posse of dwarves are welcomed to the town by the Master, who's real intentions are driven by greed and weakness. Jackson and Fry have a ...

The trippy sci-fi festival favorite from an alternate 1983 lands a distribution partner. Panos Cosmatos'  Beyond the Black Rainbow , the only memorable film from this year's Tribeca Film Festival, has landed a distribution partner.  And it is the  right  partner. Our friends at Magnet Releasing, the sociopaths who brought us  Rubber  and  Hobo With a Shotgun  and  Black Death  and the upcoming  Trollhunter , announced the deal the other day at the Cannes Film Festival.  It was swallowed by the news of Lars von Trier being a douche but, much like the insidious nature of this otherworldly film, the message has still seeped out. Beyond the Black Rainbow  is an endurance test - an intensely slow movie, focused on eerie tone over plot.  It bathes in the aesthetic of late '70s and early '80 science fiction, like a visit to EPCOT on some really bad LSD. No timetable for VOD or theatrical release has been announced. Below is ...

Can I ride in your sidecar with my War Machine helmet? You're already riding a motorcycle, so feeble concerns like safety aren't yours to have. Leave it for the moped owners. In lieu of a properly constructed helmet, why not try and cop one of Youtube user Tigerpause444's (I see what you did there, mreowr) custom creations? The coolest one is the helmet based on the Iron Man Mark VI suit, which has a retractable visor, blue LED lights in the eye-hole spots, and voice changing capability (spoiler: it's one of those kiddie voice-chaing helmets mounted on a regular bike helmet). Other helmets this dude's made include War Machine from Iron Man, a humongous furry Cookie Monster helmet, Hello Kitty, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from Transformers, Master Chief from the Halo video game series, and Star Wars' Darth Vader. Tigerpause warns that they might not be entirely safe for road wear, but I'd rather be made into street pizza looking like Tony Stark than a big ol...
