Entry #83 - Film #4: King Kong (1976)

Like friend of the site, Behold My Giant Human Brain I am also doing a 31 days of Halloween and
for today's film, I was in the mood to watch a monster flick and I recently required this movie from a friend...somehow. So without further notice I introduce to the world...

KING KONG (1976)

Directed by John Guillermin

Rated PG

134 mins.
Watched on DVD

Summary

I really shouldn't describe the plot. It's King Kong. Some stupid people go to an island, find a giant ape, and stupidly bring him to New York. Only the difference in this one than the other two versions is its super 1970's. There that's the summary, happy.

To be honest, I have never seen this movie. I have always been a fan of both Jeff Bridges and Charles Grodin. I do find it disrespectful seeing Kong straddling the twin towers like that. Thats just in bad taste, Kong. I blame Dino De Laurentiis. That magnificent Flash Gordon making bastard.

Random Thoughts

• I think the batteries are running low for my remote.
• If I shake the remote it works.
• Sea sick Charles Grodin, there is a joke somewhere in there.
• From the Director of Shaft in Africa comes...KING KONG.
• Only one thing can tame the beast...Astronomy.
• I like this movie, I got caught on and forgot to write stuff.
• Kind of a long movie, but not at long as the Peter Jackson one.
• I like Charles Grodin way more than Jack Black.
• Jessica Lange. 

Halfway through I forgot to write my random thoughts. I guess that's a good sign. This movie is nowhere as good as the original, but its a fun movie and a great adventure. I liked this more than I thought. This review sucks, but what can you do, sometimes I just wanna watch a movie. See y'all tomorrow.

Grade: B-
