Cutthroat Island

Michael — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 08:52:06 +0000

A relatively simple pirate adventure story. The daughter of a pirate captain takes over the leadership of her crew and searches for some hidden treasure.

Although it is an unrealistic and fanciful depiction of pirates and their era in the Caribbean (or maybe because of that), it is still an enjoyable movie.

Plenty of action and entertainment, yet nothing offensive.

Year: 1995

Fool’s Gold

Treasure hunting in the Caribbean.

Modern setting, beautiful scenery.
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson make this a lot of fun.

Year: 2008

Goonies, The

Michael — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 04:58:12 +0000

Kids and young teenagers will love this.

A group of kids discover a map to pirate treasure and go exploring for it.

A little swearing by the kids in the movie, but not much.
Family adventure movie at its best.

This is a favourite of many who grew up in the 80′s

Year: 1985

Indiana Jones 1, 2, 3

Michael — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:03:53 +0000

Probably the ultimate in treasure hunting adventure movies. They mix a bit of archaeology (not realistic I’m sure), with a great adventure story. Lots of action, humour, chases, and great stunts.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost ark involves the search for the Ark of the Covenant.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the search for some missing magical Indian stones.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is about the search for the cup of Christ.

Year: 1981, 1984, 1989

Indiana Jones 4 (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)

Michael — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:25:00 +0000

Indiana Jones returns nearly 20 years later.

Still has lots of fun and adventure, but many people think the treasure they search for is not as interesting as the first three.

Year: 2008

Jewel of the Nile

Michael — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:01:42 +0000

The sequel to Romancing the Stone.

The same lead actors continue with more adventure, this time in North Africa.

Still great fun.

Year: 1985

Mummy, The

Michael — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 08:58:06 +0000

Non stop adventure set in the 1930′s, with of course a mummy chasing the good guys.

The first movie of the trilogy is great, full of adventure and excitement.

Year:1999

Mummy Returns, The (The Mummy 2)

Michael — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:45:03 +0000

The Mummy Returns (The Mummy 2) is nearly as fun as the first movie in the series.

It is more of the same, but if you enjoyed The Mummy, you will probably enjoy this one too.

Big budget and lots of special effects.

Year: 2001

Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, The (The Mummy 3)

Michael — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:10:55 +0000

The third in the Mummy series features more special effects, jokes, and fun.

However most people seem to agree that it was not as good as the first two.

If you liked the first two in the Mummy series then this is still entertaining, but don’t expect the great balance that particularly the first movie had.

Year: 2008

Outlaw Trail: The Treasure of Butch Cassidy

Michael — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 05:42:47 +0000

Entertaining adventure about a group of kids searching for hidden treasure. A cross between the Hardy Boys and Indiana Jones.

Clean fun. Targets young teens or kids.

Year: 2006
