Movie Review: KING KONG (2005)

King Kong (2005) is directed by acclaimed Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. After the wild success he had adventuring in Middle Earth, Jackson made this passion-project remake of the 1933 film King Kong. It follows essentially the same story, a filmmaker and his crew recruit a beautiful woman and travel to a mysterious island where they encounter a bunch of frightening creatures including one giant ape that they bring back to New York where havoc ensues. The film stars Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrein Brody, and frequent Jackson-collaborator Andy Serkis.
