King Kong
I was getting some not-so-subtle hints about an impending disaster if I didn't post sometime soon so I decided to take the safer route. ;-)
Rated: PG:13 for frightening adventure, violence and some disturbing images.
Starring: Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow, Arien Brody as Jack Driscoll, Jack Black as Carl Denham, and Andy Serkis as King Kong
Directed by: Peter Jackson (who did another awesome job)
Ann Darrow, like many other actresses, finds herself without a job during the Great Depression. She is discovered by Carl Denham, a film director who is looking for a lead in his next film. Ann is reluctant to sign on with Carl until she learns that Jack Driscoll, a socially relevant playwright, is penning the script. Filming aboard the S.S.Venture which is supposedly heading for Singapore Carl is able to persuade the captain of the ship to aid them in his search for Skull Island. Once they arrive at their destination the rest of their journey is packed with so much action and violence including creepy natives, dinosaurs, giant insects, bats, and of course King Kong, that it's overwhelming.
I'd give it a 4 out of 5 (it was rather long at some parts.)

You're safe now Kat ;-). But I saw the movie two days ago (keep in mind that its 1:17 for me) and I thought it was a great movie, stunning graphics (top of the line), good acting, and pretty good music. What I couldnt stand was how everyone LIVED in the most difficult situations (such as those dinosaurs and creepy insects). It was a little slow at parts, but I had an overall great time watching it.
Good Post Kat! :-D

After we got back home my dad had rented the original version so we watched that too. That's like...5 hours of King Kong! I didn't like the original one as much as this one though.

Hmmm......I watched the origional from 1933. Now, after watching that I said to myself, "If I am to watch 3 hours of King Kong it had better be good." I did happen to hear Peter Jackson's been nominated for "Best Director" so he must have done an exceptional job on this movie.

Wait... a five out of five is a perfect... and Shannon complained about it and then named it a perfect... Shan???
Anyways, trust me Steph, you dont see much better graphics than what was there...

Mike you wouldnt make it far in the directing business with those ideas.... (it would be cool to see King Kong's reaction to an rpg to the chest though...)

Considering that WETA, the same fx company that did LOTR, is doing King Kong, I'm pretty sure it's good.

Just a little more Mike and it'll be awesome. ;-D

That would be LOTR Punisher style. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

of course, Good Ol' Captain Speedos would be leading the left flank, and the Punisher leading wherever he desires (being older).

Give me some guns and I am up for that!

Well, I know who that incognito06 dude is. BTW, for me, let's just say the ground force is in need of some air support with me as the commander.

Jeeps, at 10:33 PM
No way Jeeps, thats all Jonathan there (being that he flies)... I gotta support my bro one way or another. :D But anyways I was planning on left flanking alone, but what about it (you joining along) Jeeps? Being that your an assassin and I assassinate assassins makes no difference in this war... wait who does right flank?
