	Hook (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hook, the first live-action movie treatment of the Peter Pan stories by J.M. Barrie, was directed by Steven Spielberg in 1991 and starred Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts, Bob Hoskins and Maggie Smith.
		Peter amazes Hook and the pirates with the weapons he and the Boys use, including shooting paint, eggs, blinding mirrors, and Thudbutt rolling himself into a ball and becoming the "Thud Ball." Rufio comes face-to-face with Hook, and though Hook is eager to fight Rufio, Peter stops the fight.
		The highly-accaimed score for "Hook" was composed and conducted by John Williams.

	Captain Hook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He wears an iron hook in place of his right hand (though in the Disney version it's the left hand to allow greater mobility) which was cut off by Peter Pan and eaten by a crocodile; the crocodile liked the taste of him so much that it follows him around constantly, hoping for more.
		When Hook is bested and must choose between surrender and death, he commits suicide by throwing himself into the waiting jaws of the crocodile.
		Hook also appeared frequently on House of Mouse, and was one of the main villains of Mickey's House of Villains.

	Hook (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hook is the name of four unrelated video games released in 1992 that were based on the film of the same name.

	The Chromium Hook: Press Kit
		The Chromium Hook is James Stanger's magnificent combination of funny peculiar and funny ha-ha, which unfolds as a series of revelations that propel the story in some very unexpected directions, despite the sheriff's keen interest in confiscating beer from partying teenagers.
		The joy of Chromium Hook which starts as though it were going to be a parody of some 50's fl-and-white thriller about a hook-handed maniac who preys on teens on Lover's Lane, is the way it keeps turning around on itself.
		While the hook handed man is being interviewed at the nut house("this is NOT a nut house," protests the doctor), a couple of inmates frolic insanely behind him.

	Hook (1991): Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts - PopMatters Film Review
		The focus of the film is not actually on Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), but on the grown-up Peter Banning (Robin Williams); Banning's children are kidnapped by Hook, and he must return to Neverland and re-learn his Pannish ways to rescue them.
		Hook himself is on the sidelines for most of the film, plotting to win the affections of Peter's son Jack (Charlie Korsmo, the thinking person's Macaulay Culkin).
		The film is really just a reiteration of the Pan story with mild tweaks; the Banning children in jeopardy instead of the Darlings, and Pan has to re-learn how to fly.

		In the Brook film there are no adult survivors, but this new version has the pilot surviving for a time, though in a feverish stupor so he doesn't interfere with the main storyline.
		Hook, who also directed "The Kitchen Toto," another film told through the eyes of young boys, creates convincing, largely sympathetic characters with his troupe of young unknown actors here.
		Hook's film was cast with unknown child actors, many without professional experience.

	Hook
		HOOK is a typical Steven Spielberg movie, full of the magic and wonder of Never Never Land, and the joys of childhood disappearing when we grow older.
		Although the film does have some fairly dark undertones that some parents might feal unsuitable for very young children, it is an extremely enjoyable experiance for the young and the young at heart and you'll want to watch it again and again.
		Hook himself remembers this, and uses this knowledge to steal Peter's disillusioned son away from him, an act of revenge that forces Peter to re-learn the art of having fun in order to rescue him from the despicable Hook.

	Captain Hook's UK Film Review
		Unfortunately I feel that the film was poorly executed, in order to explain why the US is behaving the way it does, it uses at least 4 distinct groups with about 20 or so characters and I think it switching back and forth between each group breaks up the flow of the film too much.
		Leaving aside the message the film is clumsily trying to convey to it's audience, it's relatively entertaining, the acting is not great but it's not bad either and for anyone who isn't interested in the subject probably does give an basic introduction to how US foriegn policy is put into practice.
		The film was written, directed and co-stars George Clooney and stars David Strathairn in the lead role as Edward R. Murrow who took a stand against McCarthy at a time when most journalist where to afraid to speak up for fear of being accused of being a Communist.

	Hook - Music from the Movies
		First the heroic theme from Hook for Peter Pan, heard in the opening ‘Prologue (Hook)’, which later returns in ‘Remembering Childhood’ when Peter remembers who he is and Peter Pan returns.
		‘Hook Napped’ is a very dark and sinister track and introduces one of the themes of the villainous Captain Hook.
		Two other tracks, which highlight the other theme for Captain Hook are ‘Presenting the Hook’ and the quirky ‘Smee’s Plan’, reminiscent of Williams’ themes for the bumbling villains in Home Alone and Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.

		This is a ravishingly beautiful, stunningly designed film, at once highly imaginative and with a genuinely magical atmosphere which ranges from exquisite, delicate fantasy to slapstick tomfoolery.
		Slated upon release, and dubbed a flop though it grossed $200 million, Hook reacted against the "greed is good" 80s by upholding family values and responsibility while evoking a genuine sense of wonder.
		In general though this film is a true classic that everyone should have the pleaure of watching.

		In a borrowing from E.T. a young alien is left behind, and Chicken and his father have to hook him back up with his parents to keep them from destroying Earth.
		Frequent movie references and often-annoying '70s and '80s songs on the soundtrack are aimed at parents who have to sit through this crap with their kids.
		Clooney's second film as director is a brilliant docudrama shot in fl-and-white (if only to facilitate the seamless insertion of archival footage), which perfectly captures the period.

	OFFOFFOFF film review OFF THE HOOK (Bounce) movie by Adam Watstein with Walter Velasquez, Jamal Mackey, L. Vee Anduze, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		As a viewer, you can almost feel the tug of the good side and the bad side on yourself as you watch "Off the Hook." The film is very good at capturing the angry machismo of urban culture, where the worst thing you can do is let somebody diss you.
		Like a number of French films of the past few years (for example, "The Life of Jesus" and "Rosetta"), it uses non-actors and immerses us in a real place to give a naturalistic portrayal of a community and the people in it.
		With strong performances from non-professionals close to the story and the neighborhood, "Off the Hook" homes in on the natural drama of one corner of New York and makes it into a very memorable film.

		Although, when Captain Hook, Dustin Hoffman, returns and snatches Peter’s two children from the bedroom where the original story began and leaves a note pinned to the door with a knife requesting the presence of Peter Pan in Neverland for a rematch.
		Smee, played by Bob Hoskins, was Captain Hook’s sidekick who was always running beside Hook and assisting in all the chores necessary for a Captain to perform.
		The bed was lowered down from the ceiling by a boat steering wheel, the chair where he sat while Smee groomed his mustache was surrounded by gold framed mirrors, and the numerous pairs of shoes he had in his closet contributed to the exaggeration of the set.

		Captain Hook is a cruel villian with an ice-cold heart, but his charm and charisma inspire deep loyalty among his pirate crew - well, that and their desperate fear of reprisal.
		Even Peter Pan's own son is nearly drawn to the dark side by the Captain's magnetic personality.
		Hook is destined to fail by the laws of good-versus-evil, but he does it with style and passion, fully personified in a bit of stunt casting by Dustin Hoffman.

		Hook is, sadly, a disastrous attempt to update JM Barrie's story of Peter Pan.
		Director Spielberg assembled a starry cast to tell how Peter returns to Never-Never Land to save his children from Captain Hook.
		The message is that everyone has to discover the child within - but we're left feeling the inner children of those responsible should not have been allowed anywhere near a camera.

		The visual contrast between the adult Pan's bustling outside world and the insulated fantasy of Neverland is striking, but Spielberg's ideas about the Lost Boys--politically correct in their ethnic diversity, energetic on skateboards--are contrived and cheapening.
		The first of many disappointing fantasy-themed family comedies featuring Robin Williams, Hook dispenses with the charm and terror of the original tale in order to revel in some busy art direction and make parents realize they need to spend more time with their kids.
		Such moralizing would be fine if the film were at all...
