My King Kong

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2001)

Steven Spielburg has mentioned the influence of the 1933 classic "King Kong" on the making of "Jurassic Park." "Kong" filled many a youngster (so I am told) back in those days with awe at larger-than-life creatures battling humans and each other.
Well, "Jurassic Park" was my "King Kong." It was the most thrilling, most terrifying, most FUN thing I had ever seen at the movie theater at that time. I stomped around the house pretending to be a dinosaur for days. Sometimes I still do when people aren't looking.
Hopefully time will be kind to this film, if for no other reason so my future kids won't laugh at me too much when I show it to them.
