One of my Christmas gifts this year was the extended edition of Return of the King. Not many movies bubble up into my top 10 best list ever. I Just finished watching the extended version and all the special features. Eight hours excellent entertainment. This is why I love DVDs, big screen home theater TVs and BOSE surround sound. Every piece of this movie rocked.
I still find it amazing that Peter Jackson pulled this off so perfectly. I can't believe they let him. Here was his resume at the time:
- (1996) The Frighteners
- (1995) Forgotten Silver
- (1994) Heavenly Creatures
- (1992) Dead Alive
- (1989) Meet the Feebles
- (1987) Bad Taste
- (1976) The Valley
Now he is doing a remake of King Kong starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts.
--My expectations are now high.
