Whether he's playing a guy named Ed with scissors for hands or a guy named Ed with shoulder pads for boobs, Johnny Depp adds a lyrical charm to every movie he stars in. To wit: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, an otherwise fruity high seas adventure, turns out to be a rum-soaked barrel of guilty pleasure. This is largely due to Depp's briny, pisht and shipless character Jack Sparrow. Depp's muse: the undead rock zombie Keith Richards, complete with those ridiculous silver trinkets dangling from his mangy locks. You can check out the new three-disc collector's edition, which includes "The Lost Disc" of mini docs, deleted scenes and a featurette about Depp's marauding inspiration. Argh!

In other DVD news, Takeshi Kitano's 2003 Japanese bloodbath Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman is making its digital debut this week.
