Long Live the King (2016)
A wonderfully enjoyable production, reflecting the historic importance of the original production.
The impact of the original King Kong struck a chord in Hollywood's archival history which has never ceased to vibrate and impact the industry in an almost daily manner. Frank Dietz and Trish Geiger have compiled an astonishing collection of historical facts and interviews which clearly reinforce the celluloid legacy from 1933. If you're a movie fan or working within the entertainment industry, I cannot recommend strongly enough the importance of Dietz's compilation and all that it brings to every generation hence, from opening night to every day we wake and set about our daily tasks. Take an hour out of your busy schedule and enjoy this documentary. You'll walk away with an entirely new and energized appreciation of the production, the characters and those who created this immortal and defining film, the laurels of which have never crowned another.
Christmas with Cookie (2016)
Campy, corny and really quite fun!
On the 'So Bad It's terrific Scale', yep, it's a 10! Honestly, it's difficult to watch at first, but once you warm up to this corny, funny film, you really begin to appreciate it for exactly what it is. This crew set out to create a film which by comparison, makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Gone With The Wind. That was their goal and to their credit, that's exactly what they did. Cookie sounds rather Yoda-like, but Hell, who cares! It's funny on multiple levels. Cinema needs young filmmakers who aren't afraid to have fun, push the limits of acceptability and work with their friends on low budget productions like this, where fun and camp wins out over high-end production value. We received our copy while standing in line at Monsterpalooza in Pasadena and I honestly couldn't think of a better, more appropriate way and means to be introduced to this production. Keep up the good (or bad) work, you guys nailed it.
