Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End starring Kiera Knightley and some dudes. A couple months ago I watched number two in this series and what a mess that picture was. I'm not going to bother with this one unless there is an easy way to fast forward to all the Kiera Knightley and Chow Yun Fat scenes.
