King Kong is an amazing and ambitious cinematic adventure, especially when you take into account that it was made in 1933. The acting is pretty decent, and the story itself is great and has been copied many times, but where it really shines is in the stop motion animation, which may look silly to some now a days, in our cgi world, but for its time, it was a movie marvel. I know Peter Jackson loved this movie enough to remake it, but for my money, his version can't compare with the original, and in truth I wish he wouldn't have tried. Oh, and does Fay Wray have a pair of lungs or what. Check out my video review @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMHK_9ctxzY
This is the Batman movie that I have been waiting for, not the quirky Tim Burton Batman, and not the Adam West super cheesy Batman and definitely not the terrible terrible George Clooney Batman (love you George, but that was just wrong on every level) but the real honest to Gotham BATMAN. Batman Begins is a completely phenomenal film that is great on every level. Christian Bale did an absolutely amazing job as Bruce Wayne and Batman, and then there is the rest of the cast, Neeson, Murphy, Wilkinson, Oldman and Watanabe, are you kidding me, heck, even Rutger Hauer was great. Overall Christopher Nolan has made a total master piece, a real Batman that is based in reality with all that that implies, and this only gets better when paired with the next two chapters in the saga. 5 Beards Out Of 5
Scott Pilgrim VS The World is an incredibly quirky film that you either love or don't really understand. I for one thought it was awesome. It was funny, had a great cast, kicking soundtrack, was about a bass player for once, ( low end represent!) and was set in my home town, Toronto, which has so many great places to film, it was nice to see it get some movie love. Scott Pilgrim is original, directed perfectly from Edgar Wright and Michael Cera's best movie. All in all this is really cool film, and the comic and video game aspect made it even cooler, plus they have Thomas Jane as a member of the Vegan Police, which made me laugh and that alone makes it worth seeing.
