New on DVD: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (PG-13)

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley are all back on the high seas, careering around ever more exotic locales. In this extras-packed two-disc special edition, we find out more than we ever needed to know about a film based on a theme park ride. This isn't "The Lord of the Rings," folks, so the five hours' worth of featurettes about location scouting, steadicams, and the "real story" behind the Davy Jones mythology are somewhat over the top. No matter. There's always the film (and Depp) to make it worth your time. And of course, the promise of the next (and presumably final) film. Grade: B+

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
