king kong and that witch in the wardrobe.


so we hopped on the bus and went out to see King Kong yesterday. Got to say my expectations were not high and i was utterly blown away. The movie is very good. It's three hours of fun, good acting and most of all atmosphere. New York City looks great and feels great, the boat scenes are eerie and Kong himself is a marvel. There was this gorilla that me and jessica used to go see at the Memphis zoo. He would sit and watch you and you could tell he knew you were there and that he ws thinking about how to kill you or at least how to get out of his cage. They captured so much of that gorilla in Kong. It was very good and surprisingly very very fun.

we snuck into The lion witch and wardrobe afterwards and it brought back the childhood memories of reading the books very very well. Jessica commented as we were leaving that neither of these two movies could have been made a few years ago and she's right. Their beautifully done, the Cgi is not a distraction as it has been in some films such as the phantom crap menace. They are creating digital characthers that breathe. It gives me hope for the movies.
And the spectacle.
