King Kong


The three best performances this year are Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain, Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Capote, and King Kong in King Kong.

Holy shit, is he a great actor.

i didn't know apes could act.

His performance is so complex and touching and heartbreaking that i would nominate him for an Oscar I am not kidding.

Every actor in Hollyood should be shitting bricks because truly, this ape is the next Marlon Brando.

The other actors, who are all quite fine, seem two-dimensional compared to the soul shining through the eyes of this computer-generated ape. Scary indeed.

The movie is good, maybe even great, but the acting by Kong is king.
