You need To Check this The Buccaneer
I have been waiting for a long time for this C.B. DeMille film of THE BUCCANEER to finally come to instant video and was tickled to find a product page for it. Set during the war of 1812, this '58/'59 historical Hollywood classic pairs up nicely together (once again!) Yul Brynner as pirate "Jean Lafitte" and Charlton Heston as "General Andrew Jackson" - a man of principle. No disappointment here and the transmission of this instant video looks great in HD.
Item of interest: THE BUCCANEER made its world premiere in New Orleans as a benefit for the Louisiana Landmark Society, which was seeking to purchase the approximately sixty acres where the Battle of New Orleans was fought and preserve it as a national monument. The film received mixed reviews and an Academy Award nomination of Best Costume Design. Regardless of its critical or commercial merits, the film did manage to make an impression on historians. Brynner's Jean Lafitte and Heston's Andrew Jackson were fairly accurate, according to some scholars (despite Heston's wig being much to white for the younger Jackson at this stage in his life). Sean Wilentz wrote in the book PAST IMPERFECT: HISTORY ACCORDING TO THE MOVIES that in emphasizing the importance of the New Orleans battle, THE BUCCANEER is "actually more trustworthy than many standard history textbooks."

Very enjoyable and entertaining for the whole family.

Buccaneer is another pokie game I like.
ReplyDeleteso it is Sunday 21st October and i was wondering why the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are wearing a different uniform than normal. The Bucs have an orange one with something different on the helmet and the Pats have a red one with a different helmet also?
ReplyDeleteI think if the Buccaneers get a receiver and a corner back for their #1 and #2 picks, they would be set on their skill positions. Who do you think would fill the spots for #1 #2 and #3 draft picks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2010 draft?
ReplyDeleteThe Battle of Florida and it would be quite a match. Who would win? I'm saying the Buccaneers would win. I would root for the Buccaneers since they haven't had the best franchise.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if anyone could tell me or give me a website where I can find out how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got there name and what were there choices. Thanks for your time
ReplyDeleteHe won't get any money & obviously can't play due to being paralyzed, but don't you think it was a nice thing for Greg Schiano & the Buccaneers to do?
ReplyDeleteDo the 1976 Buccaneers pop champagne when the last team to not win a game, finally wins & will anyone ever lose 26 games in a row again.
