I saw King Kong last night. It has replaced Sin City as the best movie of the year. It is easy to get a great performance out of Naomi Watts or Adrian Brody and it is easy to make visual effects look good. However, to get a great dramatic performance out of Jack Black and to get a great dramatic performance out of computer generated 25-foot ape with no dialogue in English is an accomplishment. An even bigger accomplishment is making me care about the love triangle between a man, a woman, and an ape.
