Editorial Review:
Steven Spielberg's deeply flawed but sporadically fun and moving update of the Peter Pan legend stars Robin Williams as the grown-up Pan, a corporate-takeover type who must embrace his old identity in order to save his kids from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman). The stars put on a good show, including Hoffman's read of Hook's hysterical personality, Julia Roberts mini-turn as a tiny Tinker Bell, and Maggie Smith's touching performance as the aged Wendy. 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. On the plus side, the story's theme about adults finding their innocence again through their children is very touching (though some people have found it cloying). If you can look beyond the glaring problems, there's plenty to like here. --Tom Keogh

Hook.Popeye and Hocus Pocus 
2009-09-05 - Great old movies all three that we purchased recently. Popeye was great although I understand did not do well at the cinema. Love Robin Williams so Hook had to be next. Hocus Pocus again another great movie which we will watch again and again. Also our grand children love these DVDs so they are added to our collection. All light hearted comedy no violence and all very funny,
