Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Blu-ray Review #DeadMenTellNoTales #PiratesLifeEvent

So we all know that I love pirates. They are fun and wacky. I was lucky enough to be invited to the #PiratesLifeEvent this past summer and I couldn’t have had more fun. You can read about my adventures by searching #PiratesLifeEvent. I got to interview the cast of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales movie and experience the red carpet premiere. We also got to learn the history of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I also have a killer Will Turner Cocktail drink recipe on my blog right now. I recently got the chance to review the blu-ray copy of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and I had been waiting FOREVER for it to come out. So long to get to see it again. The bonus material alone was worth at least two watches because it’s awesome. I really enjoyed the ghost sharks. Also the interview with directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg was pretty awesome. I had the pleasure of interviewing them during our event and they are so fun and personable. They really made this movie one of the best in the series for sure.

 

Here are some clips of the BONUS MATERIAL that I really enjoyed.
