The second total rave review of this I have read. This is definately one to see in the theatre.
BTW, Naomi Watts' boyfriend at the time she appeared at at lest one of these anti-war rallies was Heath Ledger, the talentless prettyboy in this movie.
I kind of thought Jonah had a good point with that too, but that's how the original movie went too, didn't it? So if that was the story they were stuck with sticking to it.
Of course the critics who are "troubled" by the "blatant Christian themes" of Narnia are going to gush over Bareback Mountin. The people who review this have an agenda and this film is intended as propaganda in their agenda. They want more sodomite movies so it is in their interest that this movie make money. So why do you want to subsidize this ?
Oops, I'm sorry.
I forgot this threat started being about "King Kong".
In fact, the same marketing strategy was used with "Saved". Limited release to build up "buzz" and "word of mouth". It didn't work. The hard truth about "Saved" and "Bareback Mountin" is that these are films with a narrow, limited audience confined to the bluest of blue areas.
That proves absolutely nothing. The limited-release strategy is not some new thing used by "Saved," but one of the basic rollout strategies used for decades. So saying one other movie tried this and it didn't work is useless--it's not worked hundreds of times, but it's also worked very well hundreds of times.
A lot of people here seem to forget that there was a King Kong remake produced in 1976. I saw it on cable last night. The special effects were cheesy, escpecially the obviously mechanical Kong hand used to grab the woman.
