Having gained an enormous amount of success with the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson returned last year with his latest release. Following up from events in Mordor, Jackson has gone for another old story with a remake of the 1930’s classic King Kong. While Jackson has been quoted as saying King Kong was one of his favourite movies as a ...

Peter Jackson and King Kong =================== Most of you will be familiar with the work of Peter Jackson from his epic Lord of the Rings trilogy. Some may also remember him from his early B movie days of Brain Dead. Most of you will also know of the story of King Kong, famous over sized ape with an unhealthy obsession with ...

Ann Darrow has been let down all her life, a hardworking actress, made to perform in mediocre comedy shows, she seems to have very little future and when her mentor is forced to leave New York and her theatre is closed down she has to seriously contemplate working in a strip club. Carl Denham is an ambitious movie director who's latest offering ...

Following any movie that has achieved “classic” status is always fraught with danger; especially so for one as much loved as the Cooper/Schoedsack directed 1933 version of King Kong. For many like me, the iconic scenes of the Empire State Building towering over an equally iconic New York as a backdrop to one of the most dramatic finales in movie ...

Background I recently went to see Peter Jackson’s King Kong and shared my disappointment at the film with Dooyoo. I had really fond memories of King Kong from my childhood (I was obsessed with dinosaurs), so decided to go back and re-watch the 1933 original to see whether it was really as good as I remembered… The Plot Movie ...

When the young actress Ann Darrow loses her job, her prospects look bleak. Unable to find more theatre work, her only real chance of employment seems to be a seedy strip club and she simply can't bring herself to do it. Budding young film director Carl Denham is halfway through his latest project when the studio management team calls ...

KING KONG (2005) This is my first movie review, if you have never seen a version of King Kong before, I will apologise now if I have given too much away. Wish me luck and I hope you enjoy the review. This is a review on the 2005 version. As you may all be aware by now this is a remake of the 1933 classic movie, I cried at ...

It’s amazing what a little success can do. Before Lord of the Rings was even filmed I remember reading stories about Peter Jackson’s attempts to re-make King Kong. Of course a large budget concerned the bigwigs and the project was left to gather dust. So after a few Oscars and a few tens of millions, bankrolling King Kong was no big ...

Peter Jackson has always been proud of his love for the original King Kong movie. Rewarded with the remarkable success of the Lord of The Rings trilogy, he's been a coveted man in Hollywood for a good few years now. Opting against newer projects once again, Jackson stated his intent to remake the 1933 classic and here it is at last. Restored ...

The King Kong is a good film with a good chapter. Since the begining it holds viewer pending actions associated with big monkey monster. After long starting point, the story enters to it's culmination according with actions on before unknown island. The reality is overwhelming. Dinosaurs, virginity jungle, King Kong by itself all of ...

Post-“Rings”, Peter Jackson could have chosen to make any film he liked – so he chose to fulfil a childhood dream by remaking King Kong. Kong 2005 is little more than a director’s vanity project and, sadly, it shows. The film is much too long and self-indulgent. The first hour is full of little in-jokes about how difficult it is to get ...

So Peter Jackson has now remade his favourite childhood epic- King Kong. And what hype there has been around it. On the first 20 minutes of the movie this is justified, by some superb acting by Jack Black,who in my opinion deserves an oscar for his performance. But once the crew get to Skull Island things start to go ...

King Kong is one of the all time great fantasy Hollywood movies. Made in 1933, it was revolutionary in its use of Willis O'Brien’s stop-motion animation and marked a true watershed in the history of cinema. In my opinion the latest remake fails to match the cinematic magic despite the advantage of the latest special effects. This film is where it ...

If you have never seen this film, be prepared for one of the greatest classic adventure stories of all time. This film has everything you need: uncharted island, mysterious superstitions, angry natives, brave adventurers, screaming heroine, monsters, and best of all a big monkey. This has, for the time it was made, innovative special ...

The original and the best, the greatest monster movie ever conceived. The classic beauty and the best tale of the filmmaker who went to an uncharted island with a girl to film a new movie but brings back something alot bigger. Kong, the eighth wonder of the world, a 40 foot gorilla untouched by mankind. He vicously slaughters people but ...

Made in 1933, King Kong is the granddaddy of them all in more ways than one as it re-tells the tale of beauty and the beast with Faye Wray as the beauty and a twelve inches tall model gorilla as the beast, except that on screen Kong is much larger than life. Brought to life by stop/go motion photography by Mel Berns where the beast is photographed ...
