All the President's Men (1976)

[Movie 235 / Day 248]


Follows Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Hoffman) as they uncover details of the Watergate scandal that cost Nixon the Presidency.

Well written and well acted, but I did find it a bit on the long side.

My rating: 7.0 / 10

Hook (1991)

[Movie 204 / Day 218]


In a twist on JM Barrie's classic play Peter Pan, Hook imagines what if Pan left Neverneverland and did grow up after all? Williams plays Peter, who is a high flying lawyer until he visits his childhood foster home in London and discovers that he is really Peter Pan - when Captain Hook (a marvelous Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps Peter's children and holds them to ransom pending the war he is craving.

Fun and imaginative, Hook is a nice little fantasy movie that my kids loved. It is a little on the long side though!

My rating: 5.8 / 10
IMDB rating: 6.2 / 10
