The Volkswagen Toureg & King Kong
Wish You Were Here
The 800-pound gorilla of 2005 holiday movies was Peter Jackson's loving, no-holds-barred remake of his favorite movie of all time, an old-fashioned monster movie/jungle thriller pushed to the limits with new technology by a filmmaker with both the skill and the heart to recapture the thrills of his adolescent moviehouse dreams. Naomi Watts is in the Fay Wray role, Adrien Brody is our human hero Jack Driscoll, Jack Black is the morally ambivalent entrepreneur Carl Denham, Andy Serkis is both the model for the ape and the crotchety cook Lumpy, and Thomas Kretschmann, Colin Hanks, Jamie Bell, Evan Parke and Kyle Chandler co-star. Winner of three Academy Awards for its technical achievements.
