It has been ages since I featured a “weekend island movie,” however, I was inspired by a recent movie I watched called Cutthroat Island. Cutthroat Island is a 1995 movie starring Geena Davis and Mathew Modine. In the movie Davis, plays infamous female pirate Morgan Adams who heads out on a quest with her mutinous crew to find a long lost burried treasure hidden on Cutthroat Island.

The movie which takes place near Jamaica in The Caribbean follows Davis as she fights off her crew, her villainous uncle and the British navy in a quest to find a long lost treasure hidden by one of her ancestors.  Although the movie has some pretty good special effects, and the islands are beautiful, the dialogue is terrible and the plot doesn’t always make sense. That being said, Cutthroat Island makes for some great Sunday afternoon island entertainment.
