An Awesome Remake

From its opening scenes of New York City in the throes of a Great Depression to its famous final line acknowledging that beauty killed the beast, the 2005 film version of King Kong offers magnificent escapist entertainment. Acting, cinematography, special effects, production design, and background music all contribute to the high quality of this remake. Directed with loving care by Peter Jackson, King Kong is one of the best films of the year. However, this awesome movie MUST be viewed on the big screen to fully appreciate its impact. Do not wait for the DVD! Give yourself a holiday treat and buy a ticket to see King Kong at your nearest multiplex.
