Stream it now King Kong Lives 1986

 

when i was young i saw the 70s version of king kong, years later i saw this movie, first i was a little happy, with him surviving! but i saw it again when i was older and saw how terrible it really is! he is in a still visable costume, plus another female kong, bad bad acting and cast! a baby kong, and yet again, king kong dies! uhg! if your a die hard king kong fan, its almost not even worth it!

This series has been all over the map as regards to from good to bad.

Worst King Kong movies I ever saw.

Amazing Movie!!!

But I was also 10 years old back then. Still, I saw it in the theaters as a birthday present, and I got to see Linda Hamiltons boobs, pretty good for a 10 year old back then. I think so anyway. Go Kong!

So, I ate Turkey dinner with some old friends, and then went and saw:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Directed by: Mike Newell




Otto Preminger was always willing to tackle subjects others wouldn't, and show the gritty side of things when others didn't want to look. That said, he had enough problems in his style, mostly his wandering on too much and lack of focus, that his films are never unqualified sucesses, but rarely are they poor either. This film is no exception.

This film, about heroin addiction, borrows heavily from Billy Wilder's film about alcoholism 'The Lost Weekend', yet maintains enough of its own thing to be a good movie. Sinatra is very good, and Novak is excellent. I liked how the film was able to take Sinatra's girlfriend Zash, and make her simultainously a sympathetic and hated figure. She's quite a piece of work, and makes the film interesting.

Anyhow, this film is overlong, and some of it's humor is out of place. Yet it's also one of the first truly 'gritty' films about a 'gritty' topic I've seen. Worthwhile.

7.5

:rotten: :rotten: :rotten: :rotten: :rotten: one of the best comedies of 1986. The laughs just keep on comming. It's too bad that it was pushed as a serious film.
