King Kong:movie review

***3/4/*****
Director Peter Jackson is back with another 3 hrs extravaganza
Well the most crtically acclaimed movie of hollywood in recent times doesnot seem to meet the hype.But it had enough to grab your attention throughout

Set in the 1930s, this is the story of a young and beautiful actress Ann Darrow from the world of vaudeville who finds herself lost in depression-era New York and her luck changes when she meets an over-ambitious filmmaker Carl Denham who brings her on an exploratory expedition to a remote island where she finds compassion and the true meaning of humanity with an ape Kong. The beauty and the beast finally meet their fate back in the city of New York where the filmmaker takes and displays the ape in quest of his fame by commercial exploitation which ultimately leads to catastrophe for everyone including a playwright Jack Driscoll who falls in love with Ann and plays an unlikely hero by trying to save her from Kong and her destiny.

Performancewise Jack Black delivers good performance.Adrien broody is ok in his role.Naomi watts delivers an excellent performance.Whether its emotional or funny she rocks.
But the scene stealer is King Kong itself

If people thought that Jurassic Park adventure was the best of its type think again.The special effects are splendid and rocking than ever.Awesome and breathtaking seems to be too low keywords to explain it.Peter Jackson proves he is not limited to Lord Of The Rings triology.And there cant be end of best special effects
However the biggest drawback seems to be its length.It should have been cut short.

Inspite King Kong is a mammoth movie in terms of production and you can see the flow of money in movie
A must watch.Especially if you like special effects movies then you cant miss this one

3.75/5

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Review

***1/2/*****
Well one of the most awaited muvy of the year finally released.

The fourth muvy in series is the darkest and most scariest muvy in the potter series.This muvy in the series ud be little difficult for the childrens which means a dip in its bo gross.From begining to end this muvy is dark.

Harry's fourth summer and the following year at Hogwarts are marked by the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, in which student representatives from three different wizarding schools compete in a series of increasingly challenging contests. However, Voldemort's Death Eaters are gaining strength and even creating the Dark Mark giving evidence that the Dark Lord is ready to rise again. In the unsuspecting lives of the young wizard and witches at Hogwarts the competitors are selected by the goblet of fire, which this year makes a very surprising announcement: Hogwarts will have two representatives in the tournament, including Harry Potter! Will Harry be able to rise to the challenge for the Tri Wizard Tournament while keeping up with school or will the challenges along with Voldemort's rebirth be too much for the young hero?



Now potter and other characters have grown up in this muvy.
Basically this muvy marks the return of Dark Lord voldermart.His return is spectacular and breathtaking making him the most legendary villains after Darth Vader of star wars on the 70mm screen.He arrives in the climax in style but his role is short.But he will be from the begining in 5th part making it most awaited muvy

The special effects are stunning and the visuals have been great as always.The triwizard tournament is here.The dragon chase,rescuing of potter's friend from under water is not only breathtaking but spectacular also.Potter have given a matured performance.Emma watson looks gorgeous than ever in this muvy but her role is bit short in this muvy.
Brendan Gleeson is good in his role

This muvy is on par with Harry Potter 1 and 2.But the 3rd part is still the best in the series.The creativeness and thinking brought in 3rd part cant be touched here.However the special effects takes place here.

A must watch not only for potter fans but for others also.3.75/5
