Gorillas in the Middle East

More entirely untimely movie reviews:

King Kong D
in a word. Barf. Just painfully boring. I'll forgive the predictability of just about any remake but it still has to be an entertaining film. I get the sense that there might be a good version of this movie on the cutting room floor. But at 3hrs and change I bet a lot of non-monkey scenes where cut. The interplay of the characters was far more interesting that the magical bullet-proof randomly scaling gorilla. Pretty visual effects, amusing casting of Jack Black, and Naomi Watts is exceptionally fetching.

Syrina A
Confusing but in an on purpose good way. The characters are real to life. There are no real heroes or villains in this movie, just characters handling things in the way they think they must or at least the best way for themselves. It's a rich a believable film and probably one of the best of the year (2005).

Munich A-
Another great film. What happens to a soldier when you ask him to be an assassin? Its a fun and gritty look into late-cold war covert operations from a non-US perspective. If only Eric Bana had range as an actor it would be great.

Now admit: when you first read the title "Gorillas in the Middle East" you thought it might be some racist thing, yes? Of course you did, Further admit: that my play on "Gorillas in the Mist" is super clever and that I'm a mad genius of no equal. ADMIT IT!
