King Kong (Theaters)

King Kong was definately one of the Top 5 movies of 2005. My only problem with the feature was its length. I thought it could have been told in under three hours. I would estimate that anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes could have been shaved off from the film itself. Jackson however created a movie so...

I was watching the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and one of honorees was none other than John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood. I decided to pull it from my DVD collection and watch the film. The movie was revolutionary and one of the most intense films I’ve ever watched. It helped provide an inside look...
