Who can resist a swashbuckling adventure film starring Johnny Depp? My London Mums’ friends and I certainly can’t. Add to that Javier Bardem as the villain and you have a masterpiece. Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge is Disney’s latest instalment in the super popular pirates’ franchise. I cannot see it disappear any time soon. It’s too good to be…
