The Pursuit of Happiness is the new emotional drama sweeping the box office.  Starring Will Smith and his son Jaden, the two actors play a father-son duo who undergo trying times in San Francisco.  The story, based on real- life, starts with Will Smith’s character, Chris Gardner, trying to sell bone density scanners.  Gardner has little luck though, and after having invested his life savings in the business, he soon finds himself short of money, but not short of bills.

The Nativity Story actually begins in the liturgical season of Christmas, with the Slaughter of the Innocents.  Roman soldiers descending upon a small town in the middle of the night, breaking down doors and yanking sleeping baby boys out of their screaming mothers' arms to slaughter them in the streets makes for a great dramatic lead-in which can't help but to draw the average viewer into the story.

The movie was pretty much like the first one. Lots of jokes, some slapstick humor, and good-looking actors in pirate costumes. I thought that the jokes sometimes made the movie a little bit sillier than it had to be. But hey, it's a movie about pirates with Johnny Depp in it. Who cares?
