Michael Ritchie (1938–2001)

Journalist Blair Maynard (Michael Caine) and his son head on assignment to Bermuda to investigate the disappearance of boats. Unfortunately they're captured by a secret colony of pirates led by John David Nau (David Warner) who are the descendants of historical Caribbean pirates. The plot and story by Peter Benchley is more than a touch ludicrous but the whole thing is spiced up with some wild violence, some idiotically incongruous sequences, a splash of black humour and an acting show more performance from Michael Caine that seems to be taking the piss out of the whole thing. show less

I loved this book! At first I was a little hesitant, but then as I kept reading, I couldn't put it down. I am surprised more people have not read it. A wonderful, historical and slightly metaphysical story about some women in Key West. It is a riveting tale that touches on slavery as well. I highly recommend this book.

2023 movie #7. 1985. Investigative reporter Fletch (Chase) is after cops dealing drugs on the beach in LA. Chase basically does his whole bit from SNL (except for the pratfalls) so it you like him you'll love this. Lots of '80s music, hair and cars. Also, Geena Davis.
