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 Ormand Street Hospital. So much so they are dedicating a new wing to her. Peter has two children, a boy named Jack and a younger girl called Maggie. Maggie strangely enough has the lead role in a play about Peter Pan, and not realising the play is abtually about him, Peter tries to enjoy watching, but is interrupted by clients. These same clients make Peter miss Jack's final baseball game ...

Hook Line and Sinker

Advantages: Pure fantasy, brilliant acting, majical experience
Disadvantages: They don't make 'em like they used to.

Windbag The Sailor

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: None

Will Hay - Windbag the Sailor. This film stars Will Hay, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. All 3 together, making this a cracking film. Introduction: ************* Windbag The Sailor was the first teaming of Will Hay, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. The trio would go on to make Oh Mr Porter! And Ask a Policeman, my two favourites and many more films. Synopsis: ********** Captain Ben Cutlet is a story teller at his local bar; he tells fishy tails and in return gets a fair few free drinks. Harbottle is the barman and manages to get a few freebies himself. Albert is the gofer and generally messes up Cutlets stories. One day though his stories get him into trouble and he finds himself captain of a scruffy unseaworthy ship, The Rob Roy. But the second mate and the ships owner want to sink the ship for the insurance money ...
