Hulk 2 Looking Good

A sequel to the Hulk is looking more promising as the movie rights have reverted back to Marvel from Universal. This means they keep more of the money and so it would be less of a risk to make a sequel which profited if nothing else, but from the massive toy and product line that was created for the picture.

Please enjoy this article by By Robert Sprackland on King Kong 1933 and 2005.

Those of us who are 82 years old or older might remember the premier of a novel motion picture. While many movies during the Great Depression aimed to provide good feelings and a ray of hopeful sunshine into devastated lives, this particular movie had a somewhat different effect on the audiences. When people got their first glimpse of the giant ape called Kong, pandemonium broke out in the theater. People unintentionally mimicked sacrifice Ann Darrow (played by almost constantly screaming Fay Wray) and panicked. Like Darrow, they screamed, some fainted; others ran to the aisles and out of the theater.

Mid January Box Office Weekend

New Movies

This weekend "King Kong" took an unexpected fall for a couple of more notches to number 7. "Chronicles of Narnia" still hanging in the top 5 at 4. A family friendly animated flick "Hoodwinked" takes the top spot at number one and a awesome looking basketball movie, "Glory Road" takes the second spot. At the risk of getting blasted by special interest groups, I'm surprised the Brokeback Mountain has remained in the top ten for another week. I guess all that constant advertising and pulling from just about everywhere has paid off for the over-hyped latest Hollywood liberal machine. John Wayne is probably rolling over in his grave, pilgrims. Normally, a flick that hovers toward the bottom of the top ten having never entered the top 5 would be considered a total flop, but obviously Hollywood loves this film, so it could make two dollars and be declared the greatest thing since swiss cheese. That's just my observation. You really do have to wonder what the Duke would have to say about it since he was the king of westerns. It probably wouldn't sound very pretty.
