Ben just wanted to see attractive people running in slow motion, and somehow Baywatch failed to deliver for him. Beau, on the other hand, seemed to firmly enjoy the film. Will Ben be able to convince Beau to watch with his mind, rather than his…um….instincts?

Pirates of Caribbean holds a special place in the heart of one half of Now Showing. The other half has not been impressed and holds little faith for the apparent “Finale” to the series… Does Dead Men Tell No Tales surprise anyone, and will there be more to come? As always, we have the answers!

Many Bothans Died to bring us this review.
