King Kong

At 9:42 yesterday night a friend read the papers and noticed a nine fifty show of King Kong. He just ran out of his house, called me in the lift, I agreed and both of us headed out to the theatre. Purchased the tickets at nine fifty five or so, saw that the show was actually at ten, and entered the theatre just as the movie started.

Was one hell of an expirience. Not that the movie deserved the four star rating, three and a half would do, but there were a lot of references to the original movie. So you go to the movie expecting a big King Kong Vs. a T-Rex showdown - and guess what you get - a King Kong Vs. Fucking three T-Rexes showdown. King Kong even breaks the T-Rex's jaws in the same way as in the original. Problem being mammals weren't around in the Jurrasic, but what the hell - even the lost cut scenes from the original movie - sequences that were lost after the original preview, one of that of a valley full of insects which was too gross for the audience to take in was in the 2005 flick. there is also a cut scene of Kin Kong falling off the Empire state, which was cut because the background could be seen through King Kong. Jackson had this in his movie. Pity there was to Pteradactyl though...

There was also this Brotntosaur sequence which was totally Jurrasic Park. Reminded you of Harry Potter and LOTR in many places.

There were many tributes/takes on Titanic. watched Titanic today, the way Ann gets down from the cab, the dolphins in the front of the ship, all the trouble starting with a kiss, the hero named Jack and the fod blinding the ship from the island and the iceberg.

Really long though. Its a three hour movie. Nice expirience. You know what, now that I think of it, pretty cool movie which might deserve the four stars.
