By Hook or by crook
Advantages: A change from the normal Pan story
Disadvantages: Poor acting and writing
Hook is a variation on the Peter Pan story, but rather than Peter being the 12 or 13 year old boy he always was, we find that Peter is a middle aged man, and a miserable one at that. Peter is now an a lawyer (no wonder he's miserable!!), spends more time concentrating on his clients than his family. He has been invited to be the key speaker at a function to honour Wendy, who's now an elderly lady who's devoted her life to helping orphans and Great ...
...a message from Captain James Hook pinned to the door. Hook wants a showdown with Peter and instructs him to return to Neverland to save his children. Peter of course, cannot remember Hook, and although Wendy tries to explain, he refuses to believe that he is Peter Pan. He calls the police, who put the disappearance down to a prank, based on the family connection to J. M. Barrie and the Peter Pan 'stories'. During the night, Peter attempts to sleep ...

Plot Summary
The story is set in a Robot world where our hero protagonist Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is dreaming inventor who wants to go to the big city and meet the great inventor Big Weld (the wonderful Mel Brooks) to get new spare parts for his dad. The fly in the ointment in this is supplied by Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who is bent on making all of the old Robots obsolete, ...
...The Incredibles and so on. Robots is also one of these, with a well known cast lending their vocal talents to the story - for me that was a little distracting. However we are missing the principle audience of this movie, which (amongst others) is my 4 years old son, who absolutely adores it. We went to see it in the movies and have rented it twice in a week on DVD (cheaper buying it I hear you cry). He must be wearing a groove in the disc with the ...

How did Popeye the Sailor become strong to the finish? Where did he come from, and what was his family like? This charming 1980 film musically explores Popeye's origins, and the quirky town of Sweet Haven with it's criminally pinioned populace. From the moment Popeye discreetly rides an ebbing storm into this odd port, we know his life will never be the same again. Street toughs and the local crime-boss, The Commodore, rule the town, and the only ...
...Williams and Shelley Duval as Popeye and Olive Oyl. "Children! They cry at you when they're young, they yell at you when they're older, they borrows from you when they's middle-aged and they leave you alone to die. Without even paying you back!" ~Poopdeck Pappy This joint production between Paramount and Disney displays a lot of talents. Harry Nillson wrote all the original songs. There is plenty to enjoy for those who are fond of musicals. The lullaby ...
