“HOOK” Review

“Hook” was directed by Steven Spielberg and released in theaters on December 11, 1991.

I watched “Hook” (starring Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts as “Tinkerbell” and Bob Hoskins as “Smee”) yesterday at my home on DVD.  There was some mild profanity I hadn’t remembered the previous times I have watched before.  I have a sentimental connection to the film because it was one of the few theatrical releases my parents watched (at the theater) in the last 2 to 3 decades that they actually liked.

The real reason, though, is that my parents saw that within a year that my mother passed away in September of 1992

“Iron Man” Review

It may go without saying than this movies containes a lot of mayhem and violence, mostly missile weaponry, and people in suits of armor taking down the bad guys or dueling each other.  I remember one scene (I closed my eyes for 95% of the scene) that was a bedroom scene and a woman gets up out of bed basically wearing a bedsheet.  Other than using deity’s name in vain (I hate that; I’d rather hear the F-bomb than that), I only recall four uses of profanity.  MORE DETAILED breakdown of content COMING SOON…

“CTU:Provo” Review

I’ll start off saying that this is very well done. The creative force behind it did very well giving it the same camera shots, etc. as “24″ does, which it spoofs. You can download the movie for free. It’s fairly violent, only one shot where the audience sees blood; It’s the aftermath of a gunshot wound to the head. It had more profanity than I thought it might, but was minimal on immorality. MORE SPECIFIED breakdown on the content COMING SOON…

“August Rush” Review

SYNOPSIS: A young boy, the child of a rock star and New York Philharmonic cellist is given up for adoption by the cellist’s dad who believes she (Keri Russell) cannot take care of her.  She is a rising star in the orchestra.  The boy is a music prodigy who masters the guitar in six months and is sponsored by a local minister–I think he’s a minister–whose daughter notices that Evan (who later takes on the stage name of August Rush under the guidance of a kind of Pied Piper character–Robin Williams) can play anything on the organ of their church.

Review of “Big” starring Tom Hanks

“BIG” Released in 1988–Starring Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins, co-starring Jon Lovitz as Tom Hanks’ co-worker; Directed by Penny Marshall of “Laverne and Shirley” series

I watched this again on DVD edition last night. (Yes, it was a Sunday, but the movie seemed harmless enough, though the content breakdown will reveal that it wasn’t harmless for Sunday viewing or any other day viewing).
