Yes I agree, Dan. Sometimes the Depp is very amusing in the P of C collection. Sometimes you have to grin (or grit your teeth?) and bear it in this long series of filems. Oops, sorry, I meant to say fil-ems. Speaking of the Depp, I thought his performance in "The Lone Ranger" was surprisingly great. The movie's poster of him in that ridiculous ""native"" hat made me think I'd hate him. Wrong, happily.
I understand your rating of these movies, Gizmo and Son. I think. They're not uniformly good enough to bother to do the research to rate the individual efforts. I'm happy to take your joint opinions as excellent!
