In this week's audio-only Summary Judgment, Mark Jordan Legan sums up how the critics feel about three new releases: A Scanner Darkly, an animated version of the Philip K. Dick sci-fi novel starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder; Once in a Lifetime, a documentary about the New York Cosmos soccer team of the 1970s; and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the sequel to 2003's hugely successful action/comedy starring Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, and Orlando Bloom.
