King Kong (2005)
This is the remake of the 1933 version, stars Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Body, Colin Hanks, and Jamie Bell. I thought it was way to long(3 hours and 8 minutes!) I think there was a lot of stuff that could have been cut out, because it started to drag at time! They did a good job with king kong special effects. I hated the ‘zombie’ people. I think it was just way to much! I give this movie a B-!

More News on High School Musical 2!
Here’s some more news on HSM 2 that I found on the internet and in the Disney Adventures magazine.
School’s out! Sharpays going to have a pink Mustang Convertable!! And their are rumors of a pink grand piano too! She’s also going to have a little Yorkie,( The director Kenny Ortega owns the dog in real life!) “Sharpay is definitely worse in this movie. She is more of a villain, but you still get to see her vulnerable side of her that no one has seen before.” ~Ashely Tisdale~Sharpay
Zac Effron ( most recently in the movie ’Hairspray’) said “We take the characters through a whole completely different set of adventures, and there’s a love tirangle. It’s really a different story.” when he was asked if HSM 2 will be different from the first HSM.
Lucas Grabeel (Ryan) recently had knee surgery, but he is still dancing in this movie, even though he had a knee brace and a back brace on. “It was a lot of fun, and I had a blast on the baseball field. I hadn’t played in 10 years, but it was great.” (He’s talking about a dance number that takes place on a baseball diamond.
Gabriella will work with Troy as a lifeguard at Ryans and Sharpays’ fathers country club, Lava Springs.
The soundtrack is going to come out on August 14, 2007 at walmart and other stores. And the movie will air on the Disney Channel on August 17, 2007!

The Loretta Young Show
She made over 280 shows!! Her first show aired in 1950. Each was about 30 minutes long, and were like a mini movie. She was named America’s best dress actress, because at the beginning of each show, she would do her ‘famous’ swirl through the door to introduce the show, and she would wear a newest designer dresses. The first season is out on dvd, and I give it an A+! They really did a bad job restoring it though, which was dissapointing.
The Core
“A must-see movie.”~Jeffrey K. Howard ABC News
Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, and Delroy Lindo star in this movie. The core isn’t working anymore so they have to find a way to go to the center of the earth to ‘fix’ the core, or the world will come to an end. I really liked this movie! I give it an A-!
