Ever since the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out in 2003 I've been a fan. Typically I'd go to each sequel to indulge of two hours packed with Orlando Bloom being completely drop dead sexy. When I heard a fourth movie was in the making I was thrilled all over again. When the trailer was released I was so disappointed to see Orlando and Kiera Knightly were nowhere to be found. On Stranger Tides wasn't at the top of my list of summer movies to see until I found out Australian model Gemma Ward was in it. Even better she plays a mermaid! If you were to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up between the ages of three and six I would have told you a mermaid. Every Halloween I dressed up as one, I loved to swim and take baths, I even watched The Little Mermaid so many times I wore out the VHS tape to where it was no longer playable. I was completely convinced that being a mermaid was a legitimate career path. Tonight I went to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and that childhood fantasy immediately returned when the 'mermaid scene' happened. Even though they're supposed to be seductive and deadly their long flowing hair and flawless complexion... I was in awe, but being eighteen years old I now realize that growing up to be a mermaid is just too unrealistic. Sigh. Also, it was definitely better than the second and third movies so I highly recommend seeing it!

Just look at that beautiful baby doll like face.

OPI even made a nail polish line with clever names after the movie:
