Kong just finished watching The Safety of Objects and found it quite enjoyable. Don't get the wrong impression though, it wasn't a good movie.

The Safety of Objects is supposed to be a penetrating...

Collateral marks Michael Mann's second miss in a row, although most of the fault probably lies with Stuart Beattie whose script relies on some very annoying and highly unlikely coincidences. Still,...

Lance McCool, you should get your money back, and you two should just call it even. Kong looked in two dictionaries (American Heritage, and Merriam-Webster) and they listed both pronunciations.

Not only are the opening credits entertaining and technically impressive, they even have a subtext that informs the entire rest of the film. Easily Kong's favorite credit sequence.

The best religious movie Kong saw in 2004 was probably the Israeli film James' Journey to Jerusalem. Anyone else see this?
