To cellebrate last Fridays 'Talk Like A Pirate Day' , I decided to do a little YO-HOing with
"Treasure Island" (1990)
- Charelton Heston, Christian Bale
Phantoms Review:
My absolute favorite version of the classic pirate novel. This is the way books should be adapted, scenes and dialogue taken straight from the story, fast paced direction, great cinematography and an excellent cast. The pirates are not romanticized or sentimentalized, they are a dirty, vicious, superstitious unsavory lot. You can believe they'd cut your throat.
Christopher Lee has a small role as "Blind Pew" , he's completely unrecognizable under his makeup , but he does a great job. The entire cast is terrific, especially Heston as "Long John Silver". This is a great movie.
