Movies In The Hook

Bryant Park can keep their outdoor showing of Rocky, because the place to be is Red Hook this summer. Beginning next weekend, Brooklynites (and friends thereof) can jaunt on down south of the BQE for The Hook's own version of a drive-in movie theater.

I'm already thinking of packing a picnic and my easy fold camping chair to view E.T. under the stars at Coffey Park on August 26th and sauntering over to Valentino Pier for a waterfront showing of Pirates Of The Caribbean on September 23rd.

And the best part? Before each feature, Hook Productions will present short films produced by neighborhood teens who're vying to become the next Spike Lee or Scorsese.
