  1. With 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits,' the treasure's in the details

    Maniacally inventive and tightly packed, if not overpacked, "The Pirates!

    **1/2 (out of four) Typecasting doesn’t get much more obvious than when a star, in this case Salma Hayek, can’t even play a non-sexy role in an animated film. Not to mention a Burger King commercial. In “The Pirates! Band of Misfits,&...

  4. Earth to Tim Flannery: Thank you
