This week's new movie releases - May 20, 2011

Hard to believe, but only one major movie will be dominating the North American box office this weekend. That flick is "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", of course. The Rob Marshall-directed fourth installment in the popular series will hit 4,000 theaters Friday.

Johnny Depp returns once again as Captain Jack Sparrow, who sets out to find the Fountain of Youth. Also on board are Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Rush and Keith Richards. BTW, "On Stranger Tiders" will also open in 402 IMAX theaters worldwide. That is a new record. Flick will open in 3D and 2D.

Although I love the very first film of the series, I admit I'm not a big fan of the sequels, which is why I am walking into this fourth one with pretty low expectiations. Love Depp and all, but as far as I'm concerned, I've seen enough of his Sparrow character. It is time to retire him for good, don't you think?

That's it for this week's major releases. Opening in limited release Friday is Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris," which debuts in New York and here in L.A.
