Summary


Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Sky Movies Action/ Thriller, 7.30pm). Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow for this swashbuckling sequel. Having finally got his precious ship back, the wily rogue faces an even bigger problem. To get the vessel in the first place, he sold his soul to the legendary Davy Jones, who has now risen from the depths to collect the debt - with a giant sea monster in tow. Meanwhile, ruthless trader Lord Beckett is intent on seizing control of the Caribbean, and sets out to turn Jack and his allies against one another. Also starring Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, with Bill Nighy smothered in CGI as the squid- like villain. (2006) ***

A Fish Called Wanda (Sky Movies Comedy, 11.55pm). John Cleese co- scripted and stars in this top-class romantic comedy about a London barrister targeted by bungling thieves eager to know where their boss - Cleese's client - has hidden the haul from their last job. Kevin Kline is on Oscar-winning form as the crooks' manic leader, while Jamie Lee Curtis exercises her sultry side as the gang member who charms her way into Cleese's affections and Michael Palin provides light relief as a bumbling, animal-loving assassin. Geoffrey Palmer, Tom Georgeson and Maria Aitken also star. (1988).
