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.

ABC's of Death 2 -- 5/10; This collection features two excellent segments, one of which uses stop-motion animation. Most of them are average.

What a contrast to the film I watched before this! Another independent effort which tries it's best to give off a big-budget film feel, and tries to take itself way too seriously. But nothing works - a non-existent plot, pathetic characters, bad acting. Shame, because the beginning showed a bit of promise.

Ice Cream Man -- 5.5/10; Better than expected.

It had many appetizing ingredients but was a missed opportunity in my estimation. I would advise the filmmaker to spend his lunch money on one of these:
