King Kong (Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody, dir. Peter Jackson)My review in Las Vegas Weekly
As excited as so many people have gotten over this movie, I am already sort of bored with it. It's a fun spectacle that's way too long, but if you expect that you'll like it, you will. As much as I admire Peter Jackson's skill and passion and all the effort that went into making this movie, it still bothers me a little that so much talent and so many resources are expended on a lavish re-creation of an old movie. I realize that this is exactly what Jackson wanted to do (and it's his lifelong dream project), but I wish that the very small number of directors in Hollywood with Jackson's sort of clout would take the risk of actually telling a new story. Wide release
