Pirate's Code {Movie Review}

About The Pirate’s Code

“In this follow up to Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure, Mickey Matson is at it again; this time pitted against the evil Admiral Ironsides and his gang of pirates who are intent on destroying civilization. Their new invention, the Tesla Coil, is a weapon of mass destruction that will send an electromagnetic pulse throughout the world, destroying every electronic device in existence. With the help of a secret organization, Mickey and his best friend Sully embark on a mission to stop the pirates from taking over a submarine and stealing the last part needed to complete their devastating weapon. If Admiral Ironsides succeeds in his plan, civilization will be sent back to the Stone Age. It’s a race against time, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.”

Our thoughts

When my boys and I saw the trailer (see below), we really wanted to watch and review this movie.

When the package arrived, we were literally jumping up and down, yelling “It’s here, it’s here!” They wanted to watch it right away, but we held off to watch it on our normal family movie night.

We were not disappointed! We watched it for Family night, with pizza and pop, and it was great fun. There was suspense, mystery, action, and of course, PIRATES!

The movie was really well filmed, and even the special effects were good. (At the end, they had a “How they did it” section that showed how they made some of the special effects. That was cool.)

The actors were really good in it, too. There were a couple who weren’t quite up to par, but that’s okay.

My husband didn’t quite get the storyline, but the kids sure loved it! They keep saying how Pirate’s Code is the best, and awesome, and wonderful. LOL. So it’s definitely a family favorite here!

My personal favorite characters were Jeremiah and Billy Joe. Make sure you watch the special added scenes to see them singing a hymn. 🙂

  • Out of the Orthodox

    I am making a commitment to avoid using the words orthodox, unorthodox and heresy, but instead use the words biblical, unbiblical and false doctrine. The reason is simple. I want to please God and not men. The word “orthodox” refers to a set of beliefs that are traditionally held to be true and the word…

  • WE’RE PREGNANT!

    Well, it’s happened. Not because of expensive fertility drugs. We haven?t taken any since February. No, it happened because we gave this desire totally over to God and we prayed for his blessing and miracle like never before. It happened because all of you, our beloved friends and family never stopped praying and continued to believe the Lord would bless us.

    Yes, WE ARE PREGNANT! We are due either in January or February, 2-7 weeks along. We?re both thrilled, overjoyed, thankful and in shock. 🙂

    I?m already feeling major morning sickness. I?m having trouble sleeping (partly from the excitement) and I?m peeing more than ever!

    We are getting the baby room in order, which until now, though it?s had that title, has doubled as a junk room. ;)I?m already getting signed up on baby registries, and many friends want to take me baby shopping. As you probably know, we have the names picked out already: Jeremiah Thomas or Jalia Annemarie. Even so, you can vote in our poll so we can know how people feel about all the names we?re choosing for our future children.

    In case you?re curious, our colors are mint green and lavender. The room theme is lambs, pastel Baby Snoopy and Precious Moments. As soon as it?s mainly decorated we?ll of course have pictures for you to see.

    I can?t begin to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for all of your prayers and your love for us. I know this baby will be so very loved with real aunts and uncles and surrogate aunts and uncles as well!!!

    Ok, here?s what had happened to tip me off. First of all, I have been feeling sick to my stomach for quite a while (since about may 8). Then I started getting breast tenderness. This past Saturday I wrote five or six new lullabies for my lullaby album, without feeling melancholy or depressed (not feeling I?d never sing these songs to my children), actually feeling happy. I was already thinking, hmmmm maybe it?s true. Then I got some disturbing news from a friend, and it sealed my decision to take a pregnancy test and find out if I was right!

    I held my pee as long as I could, and awoke at 4 am, needing to go badly. This is it! I thought. I was looking to the left while I peed thinking it won?t be positive?then I put the stick down and said, yes, I AM pregnant, I know it. In like five seconds, it went positive!!!!!! I had to run and tell Jerry and he was so shocked and happy! I took a second positive test about half an hour later, then called my mom and dad, who were surprised and happy.

    I tried to get back to sleep, but was pretty unsuccessful. I tossed and turned over and over. One of the songs I wrote on Saturday played in my mind and heart?.here are a few of the lyrics: Thank You, Lord, for this child from You

    A perfect gift from Heaven, a blessed dream come true

    You alone know how very long I prayed

    For this precious miracle, and to You I give the praise

    A life, a precious life, formed by Your hands

    A heart, a tiny heart, made from pure love

    You gave him to me, as I prayed that you would

    Now I commit him unto You, Lord; once again, he?s in Your hands

    At nine, I called my dr?s office and asked for a blood test ordered.in between then and the actual blood test, I took another positive urine test (I just had to be sure!). the blood test was at eleven, and they had to stick me three times to find a vein. L and then we didn?t find out until 550 that yes, it is indeed absolutely positive!!!

    So when I got home I called lots of people. If you weren?t called, please don?t be offended. Either we don?t have your number or we figured it would be too late to call you, as I was sooo tired after my last phonecall after 10. I was just exhausted.

    Today I?m home from work recovering from my stressful, though wonderful day yesterday. I feel horrible ? sick, tired and miserable. But still oh-so-happy!

    here are the lyrics that describe exactly what I?m feeling (from a Christmas soundtrack called Child of the Promise): When The Dream Never Dies

    (Michael Omartian & Stormie Omartian)

    Deep in my heart was an ember of longing

    Kept warm by the flame of desire

    A dream held in secret I yearned to hold openly

    Fanned by my hope into fire

    It burned to such heat I could touch it no more

    So I put it away and then closed up the door

    Forever extinguishing all that would keep it alive

    But the dream never died

    The Lord has done this for me

    He has looked on me kindly

    He has heard all my cries

    He has given me back what I laid at His feet

    It must be God

    When the dream never dies

    Isn’t it just like the Lord to invite me

    To put all my dreams in His hands

    Forever releasing the grip that once held them

    Forever surrending my plans

    And then when He’s certain it’s not born of men

    He calls for the fire to rekindle again

    And He asks me to know in my heart

    What’s not seen with my eyes

    So the dream never dies

    The Lord has done this for me

    He has looked on me kindly

    He has heard all my cries

    He has given me back what I laid at his feet

    It must be God

    When the dream never dies

    It must be God

    When the dream never dies

    Thanks again, friends and family, for all your prayers and support. Please continue to pray for us, that this pregnancy will be normal, that our baby will be healthy and that all goes well.

    Love to you all,

    Jenn (mama!) and Jerry (papa!) and our beloved baby 🙂

    Dear Baby,

    This is my first gift to you. This journal is to keep a record of memories of this pregnancy for you. I have been working on it since I found out we were pregnant with you. I just finished it a few minutes ago. Hope you like it.

    Love,

    Your Papa
