King Kong
Jen and I just saw it and it is awesome. Best movie all year and that has some pretty stiff competition.
The thing that made it so good was that it followed the original almost exactly -- only with better acting on the part of Kong and the attendant advances in cinematography.
Jack Black was surprisingly good at a serious role and the Cook on board the ship is a non-credited role by Andy Serkis. I figured that it would be a funny part as he has such a great physical sense and good sense of humor but Lump the Cook was a very dark character.
IMDB reports that Peter Jackson has two more movies planned -- Halo which is a take-off of the video game but he also has: "
The Lovely Bones" in pre-production. This is a very different kind of story so it will be interesting to see how Peter does this.
