I just love the men’s chorus as they sing this song, it’s driving, it’s good music. “Shiver My Timbers” : This is the opening song set during the prologue where Billy Bones narrates how Captain Flint brought all of his treasure onto the island, and once it was buried, killed all of the pirates so that only he would know where the treasure was hidden (Billy Bones the first mate, stayed behind on the ship so his life was spared). The opening instrumental melody (before Billy Bones’ narration begins) is just splendid, with a driving horn theme that is reminiscent of sea songs and old films about the high seas. ![]() Zimmer certainly did not skimp on musical quality. The instrumental score was composed by Hans Zimmer (no wonder I love listening to it so much), with additional music by Harry Gregson-Williams. The songs and music are funny and serve to keep the story moving along. The film was directed by Brian Henson, the son of Jim Henson, the late creator of the Muppets.Īside from the original Muppet Movie, this was my favorite film to feature the Muppets growing up. Arrow is Sam the Eagle (his character is a total opposite from the book version) the pirates are an assortment of Muppets Silver has a pet lobster named Polly Gonzo and Rizzo play Jim’s two friends and, oh yes, Miss Piggy plays Benjamin a Gunn, marooned on the titular Treasure Island by Captain Flint after Smollet left her waiting at the altar. I honestly wish it could have been better, but redemptively, it was an honourable failure.Like the Muppet’s Christmas Carol before it, Muppet Treasure Island tells the story of Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver with the Muppet twist: Captain Smollet is Kermit the Frog Fozzie Bear is Squire Trelawney Jr. To me, it just felt to me like a bunch of stuff i'd seen from some of the classic horror movies mashed in with one interesting premise. I think its designed brilliantly and has an environmental message, and I admire Roth's aspirations to not skimp on gore or sex, but it was unnecessary to the plot. But in the end it's interesting twist to the typical cabin in the woods story doesn't fully make it work. There was also very few shocks, and once I adjusted to the carnage, consequently, it wasn't that scary. ![]() However he shows almost no creativity in Cabin Fever and for me he never demonstrated the extent of his talent. All this adds up to the construction of a cheesy 80's horror movie, which was exactly what Roth was trying to mimic. Especially considering the tiny budget it was made on. Firstly, the acting is much better than I expected it would be, and the gore is disgusting and boasts some pretty impressive bloody corpse special effects. But that's just damning it with very faint praise. Rating: R (Language|Brief Drug Use|Sexuality|Strong Violence and Gore)ĭefinitely Eli Roth's most inspired, and most substantial film. The friends struggle to stop the contagious, flesh-eating disease while on the run from a group of ornery backwoods locals out for revenge. When the man stumbles into a reservoir, he infects the water supply, and soon one of Bert's friends becomes infected. Panicking, he abandons the scene and leaves the man for dead. Bert (James DeBello), a college student vacationing with friends in the mountains, mistakenly shoots a local man (Arie Verveen) with a skin infection while hunting in the woods. ![]()
