Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today. Lent by Robert Reinhold and John O'Halloran, the promos in EAM's presentation will be on view in the McCormick House, also designed in the 1950s.

ULV Facebook pages cause uproar
Alison Rodriguez
Staff Writer
Young people are flocking to social media sites to express their concerns, complaints and opinions, often behind the safety of anonymity. Facebook pages, such as the student-created "ULV Confessions" page and "ULV Meme" page have caused quite a stir on campus and on the Web.
Fifteen students were interviewed and asked to express their thoughts about these pages.

Commentary: Confessions page strays from original purpose
Katie Madden, Arts Editor
By now most students have seen, or at least heard of, the ULV Confessions page on Facebook.
After being banned twice, it looks like the third installment of the confessionals will be alive for a bit longer due to stricter regulations set by the anonymous administrator.
It has been disheartening to see just how cruel, intolerant, misogynistic, and downright illiterate students...

He's not worth it.
It must be raining scholarships in Ames lol
Any chance he comes to Ames along with Taylor Martinez and Tate Forcier?
This one, I don't see. I agree that he's not very good. By the time he'd have a chance to get out there, we really don't need a lackluster point guard. We should have good ones instead

Every time there is a high profile transfer - an ESPN personality has to come out and say they are NOT coming to ISU. That's awesome.
"Pick em up!!"
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.
Given the way we take in transfers, is it kind of a "dis" to Drew that we don't want him? I don't see why he would fit, but I wonder if he feels like the only one with public word that we aren't interested.

The face of Putin's Ukrainian thugs: The sinister masked men behind eastern pro-Russian 'people's mayors'
- Masked man was protecting 'people's mayor' Vacheslav Ponomarev
- New mayor of Slovyansk often seen with an entourage of gunmen
- Ponomarev replaced ex-mayor Nelya Shtepa, who he allegedly abducted
- Vladimir Rybak, a councillor in nearby Horlivkam, found dead
- Death prompts acting president Oleksandr Turchynov to relaunch military operations against the pro-Russians in the region
- Ukrainian military jet hit and damaged by suspected pro-Russian gunfire
With a weapon in his hand and his face obscured by a balaclava, this menacing masked gunman is one of the pro-Russian thugs behind eastern Ukraine's so-called 'people's mayors'.
The masked man was on guard during a press conference given by Vacheslav Ponomarev, the self-proclaimed new mayor of Slovyansk, who is often seen with an entourage of gunmen.
Since the unrest began, pro-Russian insurgents have adopted a strategy of electing so-called people's leaders: mayors and regional governors who claim to represent the people's will, despite their questionable background and skills for the job. One reportedly is under criminal investigation, another is an Internet blogger.
Menacing: A masked gunman guards 'people's mayor' Vacheslav Ponomarev during a press conference in Slovyansk
On guard: Weapon in hand, the gunman is pictured alongside a local news reporter during the press conference
Background: Little is known about the armed men other than their pro-Russia sentiments
Caught in the middle of the turmoil are bewildered and anxious residents, for whom daily life continues just streets away from seized buildings surrounded by barricades and manned by masked gunmen.
'We're tired. We need only one thing: peace and quiet. It's not important who guarantees it, Moscow or Kiev,' said cook Irina Grivets.
By his own admission Ponomarev served in the Soviet army and in special forces after the fall of the Soviet Union. Until recently, he was running a tailor's shop and now heads a company that produces soap.
Mystery: Ponomarev came to power after the area's presiding mayor Nelya Shtepa vanished, and was allegedly abducted by her mysterious rival
However, specifics as to his background and links to Slovyansk remain unclear, and when asked about these details he typically responds: 'I'm not going to tell you'.
Ponomarev brushes off questions about his
legitimacy or even details of how he was elected.
He came to power after the area's presiding mayor Nelya Shtepa vanished, and was allegedly abducted by her mysterious rival.
Gunmen: More armed pro-Russia activists guard the entrance of a police building in Krematorsk
Out of the ordinary: Daily life for many people goes on just streets away from seized buildings surrounded by barricades and manned by masked gunmen
Tensions: This gunman was also among those guarding the police station, which was seized by the insurgents
Duty: With a rifle slung over his lap, this balaclava sporting man sits next to a cash point in Krematorsk
Escalating: Tensions in Crimea have been heightened further by the death of a politician and the shooting of a military jet
Unperturbed: Local people at the police station appear relaxed, despite the presence of the armed guards
Shtepa, famous for her platinum-blond
hair, initially championed the insurgents' cause when they seized the
police station on April 13 - saying she agreed with their demands of
holding a referendum on the region's status.
are not some kind of out-of-towners from western Ukraine,' Shtepa,
dressed in a bright pink down jacket and high heels, told a crowd
through a loudspeaker, as masked men in body armor cheered her on.
But as central authorities dispatched troops and military vehicles to retake the buildings and key infrastructure facilities in the east, Shtepa quickly changed course.
Unrest: Ukraine has been in crisis since last November when Kiev was gripped by protests against President Viktor Yanukovych over his rejection of an economic pact with the EU
Seized: The police building is located in Krematorsk, in the northern part of Donetsk
Hostilities: Ukraine has now pledged to relaunch military operations against the heavily-armed pro-Russian militants
Protest: Pro-Russian barricades have been put up around the City Hall in Krematorsk
Speaking out: The protestors have taken control of many government buildings in the region
Pride: A flag flies above the barricade, which is covered in barbed wire and guarded by armed men dressed in camouflage
She called the men insurgents and their presence an 'occupation'. She complained that they had seized and demolished her office and began referring to army troops dispatched by the Kiev government to fight the gunmen as 'our, Ukrainian troops.'
explained her U-turn, saying that she had pretended to be on the
gunmen's side in order to free dozens of hostages from the buildings
that the insurgents stormed.
Speaking on a popular TV show last Wednesday, Shtepa complained of lootings by the insurgents and claimed that they were the Russian military: 'Today, these already are Green Men,' Shtepa said in a reference to military men aligned with Moscow.
Protest: Masked pro-Russia protesters pelt supporters of Ukrainian presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko with eggs outside a regional government building in Donetsk
Attack: A masked protester dressed in camouflage is seen hurling an egg at the back of one supporter of Tymoshenko
Under fire: Three pro-Ukrainian activists, including a middle aged woman, are pelted with eggs by a mob of pro-Russia protestors
Clear-up: The woman reaches for a handkerchief to wipe away the egg as she is escorted away from the gang
Rising above: Despite their ordeal the trio seemed keen to ignore the attack, and the masked men behind it
Last Tuesday she re-emerged and having once described the pro-Russian forces as insurgents who were occupying the area has now u-turned on her previous statements, calling them 'strong souls' and thanking Russian President Vladimir Putin for annexing Crimea.
Little is known about the armed men other than their pro-Russia sentiments; it's not even clear whether they are Russian or Ukrainian or a mixture of both.
Residents seem to be unaware of exactly how Ponomarev came to replace the middle-aged woman and are only praying the stand-off will end.
Sorrow: A pro-Russia Ukrainian woman cries during the funeral of the three pro-Russia gunmen killed last Sunday at a checkpoint in Slaviansk. The tension has lasted several weeks in eastern Ukraine and led to deaths
Mourning: The mother of Sigarov Alexander, 24, reaches for his body at a church during the funeral for three people killed last Sunday in a shooting by unknown gunmen at a checkpoint, in Slaviansk
Grief: A pro-Russia Ukrainian woman places flowers on the body of Pavel Pavelco, 42, a pro Russia militiaman
Tributes: People lay flowers during the funeral ceremony of men killed on Easter Sunday
Emotion: Mourners gather around the open caskets of the three men as they pay their respects
Tradition: A young Cossack carries a cross during the funeral ceremony
Tears: A group of women are moved to tears during the funeral service for the three men
Honour: Ukrainian people gather around the coffins, placing red flowers over the bodies of the three men
'Under Shtepa, things were quiet and the streets were clean,' said teacher Andriy Khoronenko. 'Now we've got barricades and drunken activists with automatic rifles and Russian flags. How am I supposed to feel about it?'
press conference came as tensions in Crimea were heightened further by
the death of a politician and the shooting of a military jet.
The body of the local politician, named as Vladimir Rybak by Ukraine's acting president Oleksandr Turchynov, was found near Slovyansk on Tuesday, having been allegedly tortured to death.
Funeral: Women relatives of the dead men attend to one of the open caskets
Shock: The attack happened just hours after an Easter truce was declared
Violent: The incident was the worst violence since diplomats from the United States, the European Union, Russia and Ukraine signed an agreement last week seeking to de-escalate tension in the region
Comfort: A relative of one victims is hugged by a male friend as she grieves by the coffin
Action: Pro-Russian militants have been manning roadblocks around Slovyansk and have taken control of government buildings in the city
Demands: Other pro-Russian activists have been occupying government buildings in other eastern Ukraine cities in recent weeks
He was described as a local councillor for the Fatherland party in the nearby town of Horlivka.
Another unnamed man was also found dead, prompting Turchynov to relaunch military operations against the pro-Russians in the region.
As the crisis in the former Soviet state deepened, the alleged atrocity risked bringing Ukraine and Russia – blamed for fuelling unrest in the troubled country – nearer the brink of war.
Respect: A woman carries a large bunch of red tulips as she listens to the funeral service
Family: Relatives of the dead men cry and turn to one another for comfort during the ceremony
Armed: A pro-Russian protestor joins mourners at the funeral, placing red carnations inside the coffins
It also emerged a US journalist Simon Ostrovsky, who has been filing video dispatches from eastern Ukraine, was reported to have been snatched by militia fighters in Slovyansk.
Announcing the decision, Mr Turchynov said: 'The terrorists who effectively took the whole Donetsk region hostage have now gone too far, by starting to torture and murder Ukrainian patriots.
Funerals also took place today for three pro-Russian separatists killed in a gun battle in Slaviansk on Easter Sunday, in which two 'attackers' also died.
In another incident, a
Ukrainian military plane was hit and damaged today by suspected
pro-Russian gunfire in a deepening of the crisis in the former Soviet
Comrades: Pro-Russia militia carry the casket bearing Pavelko's body
Tearful: A relative of Pavelco is supported by a friend as she weeps during his funeral
Masked: Pro-Russia militia fire a salvo into the air to honor Pavelko during his burial in Alexandrovska, just over nine miles from Slovyansk
Funeral: Pavelko's daughter takes a fistful of dirt to place into her father's grave
The An-30 reconnaissance aircraft made an emergency landing after the shooting over the rebel held city of Slaviansk.
The defence ministry in Kiev said the propeller-driven plane was hit 'by several bullets' during 'an observation flight'.
'Thanks to the professional actions, military pilots managed to land the plane at the airfield without consequences,' said a spokesman.
'After a thorough examination and diagnosis, aircraft combat capability was fully restored.'
Briefing: Ukrainian presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko speaks during a news conference in Donetsk
The attack came soon after US Vice President Joe Biden warned in Kiev that Russia wanted to tear Ukraine apart, and said it was time for Russia to warned Russia that 'it's time to stop talking and start acting' to reduce tension in Ukraine, offering a show of support for the besieged nation.
Biden offered full-scale support to the Kiev authorities hours after the US government issued photographs which purported to show Russian troops involved in protest actions on the ground in Ukraine.
'We in the United States stand with you and the Ukrainian people,' he said, warning that Russia faces "more costs and greater isolation" if it keeps fuelling separatist unrest.
'There are some who are trying to pull Ukraine apart,' he said.
He warned that time is short for Russia to implement its promises at last week's Geneva peace talks.
Appeal: U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, right, pictured walking near St. Michael's Cathedral in Kiev has warned Russia that 'it's time to stop talking and start acting' to reduce tension in Ukraine
Plea: Biden called on Moscow to encourage pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine to vacate government buildings and checkpoints, accept amnesty and 'address their grievances politically'
Standing alongside acting Ukrainian
Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Biden called on Moscow to encourage
pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine to vacate government buildings
and checkpoints, accept amnesty and 'address their grievances
Biden said Russia needs to act 'without delay,' adding, 'We will not allow this to become an open-ended process.'
was harsher in his characterization of Russia. 'No country should be
able to behave like an armed bandit,' he said. 'Russia should stick to
its international commitments and obligations. They should not behave as
gangsters in the modern century.'
The warnings for Russia from both leaders demonstrated the fragility of last week's multinational agreement.
Biden also announced the United States
will provide an additional $50 million to help Ukraine's beleaguered
government with political and economic reforms.
The money includes $11 million to help conduct the May 25 presidential election, including voter education, administration and oversight. It also will help fund expert teams from U.S. government agencies to help Ukraine to reduce its reliance on energy supplies from Russia. Other technical advisers will help fight corruption.
Support: In a show of U.S. support for Ukraine's embattled government, Biden delivered an aid package and demanded Russia back off but also warned Kiev it must tackle the 'cancer of corruption'
Discussions: Biden, right, talks with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk during their meeting in Kiev
White House also announced $8 million in nonlethal military assistance
for the Ukrainian armed forces, including bomb-disposal equipment,
communications gear and vehicles.
In the most high-level visit of a U.S. official since the crisis erupted, Biden met privately with Yatsenyuk and acting Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov. He also met with democracy activists and spoke to TV cameras to tell the people of eastern Ukraine he had urged the nation's leaders to keep reaching out to them.
know the men and women who hide behind masks and unmarked uniforms,
they do not speak for you,' he said. 'All are welcome as equals in
shaping a new Ukraine. We count on you to be the voice for rights and
Earlier, he told leaders from various political parties that he brings a message of support from President Barack Obama as they face a historic opportunity to usher in reforms.
But Russian premier Dmitry Medvedev dismissed the US threat of new sanctions.
'I am sure we will be able to minimise their consequences,' he told the Russian parliament.
A video which apparently shows a pro-Russian man being picked up and thrown into the river by Ukrainian nationalists has been posted online
The two masked men are seen apparently threatening the younger man, before slapping him and then throwing him over the bridge
There have been growing reports of masked thugs from the pro-government side trawling the streets, claiming to be acting as agents of the Ukrainian nationalist political party
Biden's words came as footage which appears to show Ukrainian nationalists beating up a young pro-Russian man before throwing him into a river has been posted online.
The attack is believed to have taken place in Donetsk, in the largely Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine where anti-government separatists have been staging angry protests.
There have apparently been growing reports of masked activists from the pro-government side trawling the streets, claiming to be acting as agents of the Ukrainian nationalist political party.
In the video, the two masked activists are seen apparently threatening the younger man, slapping him and demanding that he obey the true leaders of the country.
The video clip that has notched up half a million views however has not resulted in any police action
A police spokesman said: 'We have not had any reports of anyone missing or being attacked, this might just be more pro-Russian propaganda'
Eastern Ukraine is largely Russian-speaking and many residents are suspicious of the pro-European government that took power in Kiev in February, when Moscow-backed President Viktor Yanukovich fled the country after mass protests
A photo distributed by Ukraine's government to the OSCE purportedly shows Russian special forces deployed in eastern Ukraine
The unverified photos have been handed to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
When he refuses, the activists slap him again, then grab him by the legs and throw him off the bridge, according to the Central European News agency.
The video clip, which has notched up half a million views online, has not however resulted in any police action. The river was not searched, and there was no indication on whether the man survived.
'We have not had any reports of anyone missing or being attacked, this might just be more pro-Russian propaganda,' a police spokesman said.
An armed man in military fatigues stands guard outside the police regional building seized by the separatists in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk on Tuesday
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden today warned Russia that 'it's time to stop talking and start acting' to reduce tension in Ukraine, offering a show of support for the besieged nation as an international agreement aimed at stemming its ongoing crisis appeared in doubt
Biden also announced the United States will provide an additional $50 million to help Ukraine's beleaguered government with political and economic reforms
Eastern Ukraine is largely Russian-speaking and many residents are suspicious of the pro-European government that took power in Kiev in February, when Moscow-backed President Viktor Yanukovich fled the country after mass protests.
Separatists have declared an independent 'People's Republic of Donetsk' in the east's biggest province and have named themselves to official posts in towns and cities, setting up checkpoints and flying Russian flags over government buildings.
There is also some support for Ukrainian unity in the region, but pro-Kiev activists have had a lower profile since the separatists took up arms.
The Ukrainian government has released photographs which it claims show Russian soldiers among militants in eastern Ukraine, the BBC has reported.

Biden said Russia needs to act 'without delay,' adding, 'We will not allow this to become an open-ended process.' Pictured are armed men in military fatigues as they walk into a church for the funeral ceremony of men killed in a gunfight on April 20
The unverified photos have been handed to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
Russia has denied it has military forces in the area.
to a press release by the Ukrainian government, the photographs show a
bearded gunman in the Donetsk towns of Kramatorsk and Sloviansh this
year and in Georgia in 2008.
more recent photos however show the man with a black beard, while the
earlier images show a slimmer-looking man with a more reddish beard.
Other unverified images are said to show a masked gunman in both Donetsk and Crimea, the region annexed by Russia last month.

WDYWTSN #18 Winner: Mary Jane!
It was a fairly close vote in the end but I think Mary Jane's name may have just contributed to her high support. See what I did there? Yeah, I'll be here all week.
Brett Rossi Strips in the Hot Tub
The lovely miss Brett Rossi broke in the new hot tub and pool with a quick strip and some really hot poses.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 - Trailer with Boobs!
Blink and you'll miss them but they're there! We promise! Looks pretty stupid but in a 'I am gonna watch it anyway' kind of way.
Meet Kate Winn, Sexy Dust Bunny!
She is brand new and we might just be the first site to bring her to you. For the gallery of this shoot, click here. Wow, I hope we get to see a lot more of her.
WDYWTSN #11 Winner: Rachael!
Not overly close this week for Rachael but not a walk in the park either. She's super cute with a banging body but she needs some lessons in taking self shots I think.
Sexy Pool Trick Shots
We skipped the video to the point where it really gets interesting. Not shown: the girl he practiced on to get so good. She is less sexy and a lot more bruised. :P
WDYWTSN #8 Winner 1: Mae Lynn!
Mae Lynn just edged out Kate in yesterday's vote. The two ladies were the clear winners and I hope we get to see more of both of them. Remember to mash that 'Request' button!
WDYWTSN #7 Winner: Mandy!
After a crap ton of votes, the clear winner was Mandy! Tune in next week where all the girls who didn't win will get a second chance.
WDYWTSN #6 Winner: Kadence!
Kate gave her a run for her money but Kadence pulled it out in the end. What a lovely pair of boobs on her!
WDYWTSN #5 Winner: Kourtney!
It was very close between Kourtney and Melanie but Kourtney just edged her out by 4 votes. Never fear Melanie fans, she'll get another chance in a few weeks.
WDYWTSN Bonus: Chiyoko's Sexy Selfies!
She didn't quite make it in the vote but things were so close we decided to feature her anyway.
WDYWTSN #3 Winner: Breana!
The voting wasn't even close this week, Breana blew the competition away. Turns out she's got quite an impressive ass on her (see thumbnail). Don't forget to enlarge the pics!

Budget Heat: February's 10 Best Sneakers for $100 or Less by Zack Schlemmer 3 Comments
June 30th, 2014 by Patrick Johnson / 0
First there was the Nike Roshe, and now there looks to be a new Summer staple on the horizon from the Swoosh in the form of the Nike Kaishi. The references to the predecessor don't feel that far off as we get the usual mesh base and a similar outsole, only this time there's an aerodynamic wave to it while heel support and side panels mimic the Nike Air Flow. And, just like the Roshe before it, three new pairs are showing up at retailers without much notice- one in a dark magnet grey and volt, another in a simple black/white, and a third in a chilling red and grey. Which is your favorite? Be sure to get with us after the click for a better view of the upcoming Nike Kaishi for July 2014, pick up a pair via Packer Shoes, and let us know what you think of this new Nike silhouette in the comments section.

King Kong (1933)
Critics Consensus: King Kong explores the soul of a monster -- making audiences scream and cry throughout the film -- in large part due to Kong's breakthrough special effects.

Movie Info
"How would you like to star opposite the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood?" Enticed by these words, brunette leading lady Fay Wray dyed her hair blonde and accepted the role of Ann Darrow in King Kong -- and stayed with the project even after learning that her "leading man" was a 50-foot ape. The film introduces us to flamboyant, foolhardy documentary filmmaker Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong), who sails off to parts unknown to film his latest epic with leading lady Darrow in tow. … More

LoginCritic Reviews for King Kong
All Critics (54) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (53) | Rotten (1) | DVD (28)
It's unrivaled in its sheer cinematic quality, and one of a kind.
The story, like Frankenstein and Dracula, has taken on the significance of a modern folk tale, layered with obvious moralizing and as familiar as personal history.
Arguably the monster movie of all time, this abiding take on Beauty and the Beast has a mythic power that belies its years.
"King Kong," as spectacular a bolt of celluloid as has thrilled audiences in a couple of sophisticated seasons, is the product of a number of vivid imaginations.
Unfortunately, it was thought necessary to mitigate some of the predominant horror by introducing a human, all-too-human theme.
The grand-daddy of all monster movies.
...throbbing with metaphorical implications. The riveting, stop-motion battle between the great ape and a T. Rex is just a bonus.
One of the best adventure horror films ever made, an icon of pop culture with truly erotic and emotionally touching scenes between Fay Wray and the massive gorrilla
Violent but beloved old-school monster movie.
Wholly enjoyable.
All these years on from its original release, King Kong still has a great claim to being the eighth wonder of the world.
Kong mystifies as well as it horrifies, and may open up a new medium for scaring babies via the screen.
Willis O'Brien did the stop-action animation for this 1933 feature, which is richer in character than most of the human cast.
The throbbing heart of the film lies in the creation of the semi-human simian himself, an immortal tribute to the Hollywood dream factory...
'King Kong died for our sins.' It's a T-shirt seen recently in Seattle, worn by a teenager and illustrated with the original vintage image of the monster ape atop the Empire State Building.
One of those mad movies, like Moulin Rouge! or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that fully justifies and deserves all the best and worst that can be said for or against them.
It's one of the rare, great works of art that stands up to endless repeated viewings, each time revealing something new.
charming fantasy continues to hold up and is a treasure trove of special effects that continue to inspire
This movie is part of why I'm so twisted today, and not just because of how that door and the hellish promise of what it hid teased its way into my kiddie brain.
The continuing success of King Kong is due not only to its spectacular special effects, but also to the exemplary economy with which the filmmakers handled the screenplay, filming and editing.
Audience Reviews for King Kong
An impulsive director whisks an unknown actress to an unexplored island to capture a mythic beast on film. The Jurassic Park of its day, King Kong is the original monster movie. Unfortunately the very element that no doubt wowed audiences of the time are now its greatest handicap; the visual effects. Special effects have obviously moved on a great deal over the last 80 years, consequently the creaky stop-motion animation is rather shocking by today's standards and the close ups of the beast's face look like a glove puppet manufactured by someone whose sole information about a gorilla's visage was supplied by an attention deficit toddler. That's not to say that the original Kong is not without its charms; it has a real sense of nostalgic adventure, the other effects have fared rather better than the creatures and Fay Wray manages to be extremely sexy despite being dis-robed by a plasticine primate! Although it's no doubt sacrilege to suggest, but Peter Jackson's re-invention is actually rather better despite its penchant for unnecessary excess and not just because of the visuals. It has better dialogue, greater depth of character, stronger performances and thanks to the talents of Andy Sirkis, a much more emotionally engaging ape. Still, King Kong can be seen as a real benchmark in the evolution of cinema and as such will always be worth a viewing.

As far as I'm concerned, "Action/Adventure" as a genre begins here: this is the strange and beautiful that directors like Spielberg, and Lucas, and Cameron (and unfortunately, Roland Emmerich, too) have kept striving to capture on screen - the sublime, the unimaginable, the terrifying. Animated by stop-motion, (cutting edge for its day), Kong is the Hollywood monster all others wish to be - he even takes down a T-Rex! But leaving aside my childish joy, I can complain that the pre-historic animal fight scenes were a bit extraneous and stretched the movie out longer than it needed to be. It's a small knock on a film for the ages, though. I watched it on Turner Classic, and before it started Ben Mankiewicz said this was the first film for which a score was composed (all previous used other music). It's worth noting because the music is as big a part of the thrill from this movie as any other, setting the pace and quickening your pulse as the story ticks along. Also, the film contains one of the best foreshadows you'll ever see, when Ann (the novice actress) is practicing screaming for the tests. It gives you goosebumps before you arrive on the island and the intrigue begins for real. The scenes with the natives are absolutely riveting, and the effects, though rough, are surprisingly good, allowing for an expressive monster when we finally meet him. In all, it's an age-old story, one of the greater ones ever told, and as soon as enough time has passed, we could probably put it into the class of "archetype." Visionary, brilliant film that should never be forgotten, and essential viewing for anyone who claims to enjoy movies.

The granddaddy of all the big budget special effects films and they are still pretty impressive today. The interesting part about this action/horror classic is that the real monster is the movie director and not the 50 foot ape.
MoreSuper Reviewer
78 years later, this still holds up as high-caliber entertaining spectacle.
I'm sure you all know the story by now (you should), but just for giggles, here's the quick synopsis: a film crew travels to the mysterious Skull Island to track down a ythical creature known as Kong in hopes of capturing him and using him to make a profit.
All hell breaks loose though, especially when Kong, who it truns out is a massive ape, breaks free from his chains and goes on a rampage through New York City. Along the way though, the beast fals in love with beauty- the lovely lady who was supposed to star in the film he was captured for.
This film has such an astoundingly long list of films and things it has influenced, that I sometiems forget that it isn't actually on many (if any) lists of the greatest films ever made. It sure should be though. I mean, seriously. Like Citizwn Kane, this film has a great story and featured some really top notch techniques, effects, and filmmaking for its day- all stuff that has led to much imitation and further innovation.
Given the time period, this was cutting edge. That's now no longer the case, but the effets still hold up, and I have much respect for movies made like this, because i know this sort of thing is damn difficult to do, then or now. This film took a lot of work and was unlike anything that had been seen before.
Everything else is top notch too. The story is just a typical adventure romp, but it's fun, well played, and they make the msot of it, adding to it with the pioneering visual and audio effects. The acting is good, the music is excellent, and this is just a really difficult film to not like.
It's got a bit of everything (romance, drama, action, adventure, fantasy, horror), and it's never boring. Again, I'm not sure why this film isn't quite a revered as it should be. I mean, I know it's respected, but, like I said, it deserves to be on one of those "greatest ever" lists. The remakes have both been longer, and not quite as tight and concise as this one, but at least in the case of the 2005 version, it was made with love, respect, and care, and the added material ( which made the film almost twice the length of this one) added greater depth to the story, environment, characters, and relationships.
You really must see this film. It's just one of those essentials.
