Scott King's Treasure Island
This subversive film which won acclaim and infamy at Sundance is set in the last days of World War Two. Codebreakers trying to confound the Japanese army take on a strange mission recreating the life of a dead officer. Their story quickly descends into a bizarre psychodrama where they are forced to confront their own repressed desires. An interesting failure.

Did Pirates Really Go Arrrgh?
A pirate is one of the original terrorists of the world. In fact, terror was just as much a weapon in a pirate's armory as his sword.

Let us examine the mystique of the pirate.
