Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End DVD

“Just when he’s needed most, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), that witty and wily charmer of a pirate, is trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones’ Locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack’s the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must come together united in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates’ way of life. From exotic Singapore, to World’s End and beyond, from Shipwreck Island, to a titanic battle, this adventure’s filled with over-the-edge action, irreverent humor and seafaring myth and magic. Everything has led to this twisting, turning, wild swashbuckling ride in this final chapter of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy”

Pirates Caribbean Dead Chest DVD

“Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you’ll have something resembling Dead Man’s Chest, a bombastic sequel that’s enjoyable as long as you don’t think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack’s compass, which is linked to a key that’s linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people’s souls. If you’re already confused, don’t worry–plot is definitely not the strong suit of the franchise, as the film excels during its stunt pieces, which are impressively extravagant (in particular a three-way swordfight atop a mill wheel). It may help to know that Dead Man’s Chest was filmed simultaneously with some of Pirates 3, so don’t expect a complete resolution (think more The Empire Strikes Back) or the movie will feel a lot longer than it really is.”

Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl DVD

“From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (PEARL HARBOR) comes PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, the thrilling high-seas adventure with a mysterious twist. The roguish yet charming Captain Jack Sparrow’s (Academy Award(R) Nominee Johnny Depp) idyllic pirate life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the governor’s beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl, Elizabeth’s childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) joins forces with Jack. What Will doesn’t know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead. Rich in suspense-filled adventure, sword-clashing action, mystery, humor, unforgettable characters, and never-before-seen special effects, PIRATES is a must-have epic on the grandest scale ever.”

D’Aulaires Book of Greek Myths

"No education is complete without a large slice of Greek mythology. And
there’s no better way of meeting that literary quota than with the D’Aulaires’
book. All the great gods and goddesses of ancient Greece are depicted in this
big, beautiful classic, lovingly illustrated and skillfully told. Young readers
will be dazzled by mighty Zeus, lord of the universe; stirred by elegant Athena,
goddess of wisdom; intimidated by powerful Hera, queen of Olympus; and chilled
by moody Poseidon, ruler of the sea. These often impetuous immortals flounce and
frolic, get indiscreet, and get even. From petty squabbles to heroic deeds,
their actions cover the range of godly–and mortal–personalities.

The D’Aulaires’ illustrations have a memorable quality: once pored over, they
will never leave the minds of the viewer. Decades later, the name Gaea will
still evoke the soft green picture of lovely Mother Earth, her body hills and
valleys and her eyes blue lakes reflecting the stars of her husband, Uranus the
sky. No child is too young to appreciate the myths that have built the
foundation for much of the world’s art and literature over the centuries. This
introduction to mythology…"

The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

“Joseph Campbell’s classic cross-cultural study of the hero’s journey has inspired millions and opened up new areas of research and exploration. Originally published in 1949, the book hit the New York Times best-seller list in 1988 when it became the subject of The Power of Myth, a PBS television special.

The first popular work to combine the spiritual and psychological insights of modern psychoanalysis with the archetypes of world mythology, the book creates a roadmap for navigating the frustrating path of contemporary life. Examining heroic myths in the light of modern psychology, it considers not only the patterns and stages of mythology but also its relevance to our lives today–and to the life of any person seeking a fully realized existence.

Myth, according to Campbell, is the projection of a culture’s dreams onto a large screen; Campbell’s book, like Star Wars, the film it helped inspire, is an exploration of the big-picture moments from the stage that is our world. It is a must-have resource for both experienced students of mythology and the explorer just beginning to approach myth as a source of knowledge.”

Doc Holliday The Life and Legend

"In Doc Holliday: The Life and Legend, the historian Gary Roberts takes
aim at the most complex, perplexing, and paradoxical gunfighter of the Old West.
Drawing on more than twenty years of research on his enigmatic subject, Roberts
discovered numerous new primary sources in his quest to understand both what
John Henry Holliday did and didn’t do, and what these exploits meant to the
elusive man behind the now-legendary deeds.

Roberts explores Holliday’s idyllic, antebellum childhood in Georgia, where
he was schooled in the manly virtues of independence, loyalty, proficiency with
weapons of every kind, and above all, honor. He considers numerous explanations
behind John Henry’s sudden and drastic decision to abandon his large extended
family and a promising career to move to Texas, where, in the parlance of the
day, he "slipped from the path of rectitude" even as he clung to his
profession and the ideals he had learned as a child. Roberts tracks Holliday’s
western ramblings from Dallas to Denver to Cheyenne to Dodge City to Tombstone,
always in pursuit of the next game of chance and another shot of whiskey, his
health on a deep, downward spiral, his gunfighting skills on the rise. Along the
way he befriended (or made enemies of) such Western icons as Bat Masterson,
Kate Elder, Curly Bill Brocius, and Wyatt Earp.

As you’ll discover, there were as many conflicting opinions about Doc
Holliday as there were people who knew him, or knew of him: To Earp, he was a
"mad, merry scamp with a heart of gold and nerves of steel." According
to Masterson, he "had a mean disposition and an ungovernable temper, and
under the influence of liquor was a dangerous man." Newspapers called him
everything from "a very mild-mannered man . . . genial and
companionable" to a "shiftless bagged-legged character—a killer and
a professional cut-throat." In this fascinating probe into the real life of
a near-mythic figure, you’ll meet the man who lived up to every one of these
statements and more."
