Tired and stuck in my chair, I watched Peter Jackson's "King Kong" again last night. I don't think there was a single scene, fight, gesture, look between characters, pause before speaking, etc., that was not two to three times longer than it needed to be.

We rented it this weekend and Gary let the boy watch it too. I was concerned because he's already not sleeping but I guess it gave him something different to be worried about:rolleyes:

I liked it more than I thought I would. I was sad about the dog though:(

I'm just back from seeing "Forbidden Kingdom"

AKA - Jackie Chan and Jet Li do "Lord Of the Rings", Badly.

There were a few fun moments, and the Witch was hot. Overall a definite 1/2 Meh.

I took Moonie Junior who ever since the X-men movies always asks "Is there anything after the credits?"

My reply? Naw, not on this movie, let's go. I was about half way down the exit ramp when it hit me: DOH! This is a Jackie Chan Movie! The guy who pretty much invented the after movie outtakes.

So back into the theater we went, and here is what we saw:

The next Star Trek movie was being filmed in Kern County over the last few weeks. They did some shooting at Fort Tejon and then spent a week out at Buena Vista lakes. It was supposed to be kept hushed, but word did make it out. I heard that Winona Rider is in it.

She plays Spock's mother.

I feel old. :(

Don't feel too old, (or so I've been told).

Very late to the party, but I watched Juno last night. I really loved it, a very sweet film.

King Kong, ugh I paid money to see that with a friend. I think I posted here, I want those endless hours of my life back. I much prefer the 1933 version, Kong had heart and pathos in 1933.

I'm thinking Burt Reynolds, Smokey and the Bandit. Now that there's some good outtaking.
