Product Description

 
Despite his origins as a low-budget filmmaker with a taste for the unsavory side of life, Peter Jackson has turned into an "event" filmmaker--someone who can conjure up a movie on a scale unlike anything we've seen before. KING KONG is his sprawling, epic remake of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack's 1933 movie of the same name, and it is as big as the gorilla that runs riot through Jackson's rendering of Depression-era New York.

The movie posits Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow, the starry-eyed blonde beauty whom Kong falls for; Jack Black as Carl Denham, a low-rent Orson Welles look-alike who drags the crew to the island to make his movie; and Adrian Brody as Jack Driscoll, a hack playwright ...

Kong - King or Donkey?

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Unfortunately, Peter Jackson's King Kong turns out to be a real disappointment.
Review: King Kong has been done before, of course (the most famous and probably definitive version being done way back in 1933) though I have no bias towards previous version as I don t recall ever seeing them (though I m pretty sure I must have done). The...

King Long (But You Won't Notice)

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: King Kong rules.
Review: The keyword these days in Hollywood seems to be remakes. More and more classic films, it seems, are being given a makeover, some successfully, some not. The latest (and perhaps greatest) of the lot is King Kong. One wonders in many cases if...

King Kong: Attempt to Remake a Classic Doesn't Quite Cut It

Date of Review:  May 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a decent film with some good points but an equally number of bad points.
Review: Movie remakes just keep coming and coming. Just when I think there can t be anymore of them or that the movie viewing public has had its fill and won t accept them any more, another remake of an old classic is released on the big screen. The most...

Details
Format: DVD: Anamorphic Widescreen, King Kong
Documentary filmmaker Carl Denham sails off to remote Skull Island to film his latest epic with leading lady, Ann Darrow. Native warriors kidnap Ann to use as a sacrifice as they summon Kong with the local witch doctor. But instead of devouring Ann, Kong saves her. Kong is eventually taken back to New York to be exploited as the 8th Wonder of the World where he searches high and low for Ann, eventually winding up at the top of the Empire State Building, facing off against a fleet of World War I fighter planes.
