A peaceful MOC for Christmas.

The sea is smashing against the rocks, the boat is heaving on the waves and a lonely lighthouse keeper is checking out the weather. That’s the scene Eurobricks member pif500 has made in an excellent way. It even has a lovely interior. But if you want to see that as well, you’ll have to…

The official trailer has been released!

Eurobricks member Andre1989nl shares the official trailer for the upcoming movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” with us. A very promising movie to look forward to! Mermaids, zombies, Blackbeard and many more dangers on the road to the “Fountain of Youth”!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise – this time in Disney Digital 3D™. In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he’s not sure if it’s love-or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth.
When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
