King Kong is a gigantic mess
<p>My wife Catherine has written an excellent <a href='http://www.livejournal.com/users/cathyr19355/26922.html'>review of Peter Jackson&#8217;s <cite>King Kong</cite></a>, which we saw just last night.  I concur with it; the movie is a meandering, flabby, over-long, self-indulgent mess that will be deeply disappointing to many of the fans Jackson attracted with the <cite>Rings</cite> movies.  I hope it bombs, and he learns a lesson about artistic discipline. His next movie would be better for that.</p>
