When we got back to my house, my son asked me: "Dad, you grew up in Mesa Verde (where I now live). What did you used to do during the summer?" After thinking a bit, I recalled riding mini-bikes and go· carts in vacant lots and dirt fields, which no longer exist in north Costa Mesa. I used to go ice skating at Ice Capades OlaJet. which no longer exists in Costa Mesa. And every summer. I would join the youlh bowling club at Kona Lanes. which no longer exists in Costa Mesa. It was then I started to realize that there is no·place for kids to go In North Costa Mesa to have constructive fun. No YMCA. no Boys & Girls dub. no puollc recreation center, nothing. The population wants to keep kids off the streets. off drugs and out of gangs. but what outlets do we provide for them? Which brings me to the purpose of writing this lener. We don't need another strip mall at the old Kona Lanes site. What we really need is a fourth recreation center. North Costa Me a is a beautiful place to live, unless you're a kid. BRETM.

I must agree. Neither the gore nor SARA SALAM the lengthy battle scenes particularly devoured my attention, but because of the plot, I was lured into the action of the film Key scenes from the Disneyland attraction version of this movie were placed in practical order to distract from the familiarity of the action. The entirety of the film is related to or spent investigating the curse of the Black Pearl, an ancient pirate ship headed by its fonner first mate (Geoffrey Rush) whose crew has been cursed to live life as skeletons by the light of the moon. Jaclc Sparrow (Johnny Depp) had been the captain, until there was a mutiny. There Is a missing medallion that belongs to William Turner (Orlando Bloom), a glft which he received from his father. The pirates do everything in their power to get it baclc. As the story unfolds, so does the mystery behind the purpose and ambition of each man. From shJps to swords and pirates to fatal curses, the characters are what made the film. Rega.rdless of their tatus in sodety or thelr reputadon among the others. at the very leut, each actor deliveted a modest performance. ~provided all the wise aacb and comedic llnea and just made everyone he encountered.look like an amateur at~ he wu cloq.

With this in mind, it is no wo1,der why there is '>O much conflict in the film. At first. the whole concept of the movie kind of eluded me. I didn't understand some of the motives that drove each character to pursue thei r specific dream. The plot then reveals itself. Gradually, as if by sequence, new sources of information come into perspective and shape the final product, which we ~ec on t.he screen. Not onJy was the result a thrilling feature to endure, but 11 was just such. a great movie. The outlook it presents to you can't be found in any other (pirate) movie. • SARA SALAM will be attending Corona del Mar High School in the fall as a sophomore.
