My weekly Gothamist Weekend Movies post is up. It was a bit late today because I was up late last night finishing the Ron Hogan interview that got posted this morning. Then I was out of the apartment, and then I was back in the apartment while we finally got cable installed, a whole ordeal I will discuss some other time. (We had had DirectTV.) So I kind of dashed out today’s Gothamist movie post, but I did already take care of seeing King Kong, and personally I loved it, however not without reservation. It is definitely too long, but it’s also one of the most beautiful looking movies you’ll ever see, and as I mention over at Gothamist, they’ve managed to make Kong so expressive, especially with his eyes, that if he could actually speak English, he’d be better than most Hollywood actors.
I need to get to a bunch of movies this weekend, as I’m already way behind, but suddenly I’m finding myself incredibly busy. And I still haven’t even had the chance to write the actual reviews of much of what I’ve seen over the past couple weeks. But it’s coming. Or something.
