an interesting king kong review [locus]

a double-insightful review of king kong, two reviewers with each picking apart and praising from a different angle.

Although "You will believe an ape can look away!" is hardly the stuff ad campaigns are made of, here it's Kong's very smallest, most understated gestures which are the most impressive. As thrilling as the battle sequences are, it's his face you can never take your eyes off of.

[i liked this movie a lot; watts and brody cannot be said to have chemistry, whereas watts and kong sparkle (and move our hearts) together]
