BEHOLD!!
THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD
KING KONG opens on December 14th
|
Triple Academy Award® winner Peter Jackson
("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) directs the dramatic
adventure "King Kong," bringing his sweeping cinematic
vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape captured in
the wild and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic
fate. Set in the 1930s, Academy Award® nominee Naomi Watts
("21 Grams") portrays Ann Darrow, an actress from
the world of vaudeville who finds herself out of a job in
Depression-era New York. Her luck changes when she meets Carl
Denham, played by Jack Black ("School of Rock").
Denham is an entrepreneur, raconteur, adventurer and filmmaker
who is struggling to make a name for himself in the entertainment
industry. Bold, ebullient and charismatic, Denham has a natural
sense of showmanship and an appetite for greatness, which
ultimately leads to catastrophe. Academy Award® winner
Adrien Brody ("The Pianist") steps into the role
of Jack Driscoll, a New York playwright, who becomes an unlikely
hero in a romantic adventure story which will test his physical
courage and his heart. This is the story of a group of
explorers and documentary filmmakers (led by Black) who travel
to the mysterious Skull Island (near Sumatra) to investigate
legends of a giant gorilla named Kong. Once there, they discover
that King Kong is a real creature, living in a massive jungle
where creatures from prehistoric times have been protected
and hidden for millions of years. As the explorers search
for the great ape, their quest puts them up against both Kong
and his dinosaur enemies. Ultimately, it is the attention
of a beautiful human woman (Watts) that soothes Kong long
enough for him to be subdued by the explorers and shipped
back to New York, where his bleak future involves being put
on display in front of humans... but how long can even the
mightiest shackles of man hold back an ape 25 feet tall? Cast
includes Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody, Andy Serkis,
Colin Hanks, Kyle Chandler, Thomas Kretschmann, Jamie Bell,
Evan Parke, John Sumner, Richard Kavanagh, Stephen Hall. Click

Latest Review Additions: |
Naria: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
(in Film
)
- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’ is a grand success. It entertains on all levels with a skillful blending of story and incredible visual effects.
|
Brokeback Mountain
(in Film
)
- Brokeback Mountain is a great film that puts a different spin on a universal theme. I firmly believe that open-minded adults can watch this film and appreciate it artistically.
|
Rent

|
Harry
Potter And The Goblet of Fire (in Film
)
- I urge you to view this magical creation, bask in its creative
ambiance, and see a perfect dream unravel before your eyes.
|
Jarhead
(in Film
)
- Entertainment value is a must in any film and that is the one
area that Jarhead comes up short. It simply drags in too many
places.
|
Doom
(in Film
)
- Doom is a far more accomplished film. Granted, my expectations
were extremely low, but that doesn't take away from the fact that
the filmmakers made a decent film.
|
North
Country (in Film
)
- North Country is a gripping, emotionally packed stunner of
a drama that easily contends as the best film of 2005.
|
Good
Night and Good Luck (in Film
)
- Good Night, and Good Luck is a major artistic achievement by
Clooney and easily one of the best films of 2005.
