Rating: PG-13, for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for brief strong language.

If you like your monster movies big and dumb, you will love Kong: Skull Island. And I mean that as a total compliment. This action epic from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has the spirit of a classic Ray Harryhausen film with the benefit of high-tech special effects. A team of explorers visits an uncharted island in the South Pacific in 1973 and finds more danger than they ever could have imagined. They include an expert tracker (Tom Hiddleston), a war photographer (Brie Larson), the head of a shadowy government agency (John Goodman), and a military team with a no-nonsense leader (Samuel L. Jackson). But you’re not here for the people. You’re here to see King Kong, who rules the island as a fearsome, deadly, but ultimately gentle giant. This is not a spoiler: If you’ve ever seen any incarnation of King Kong, you know he’s misunderstood. But he might be super-scary for very little kids, especially as he battles the many other oversized monsters that happen to call this island home. (What’s in the water surrounding this place anyway?) I brought my 7-year-old son and he thought Kong was a blast. It is pretty intense, though, with a lot of violence, gunfire, monster action and helicopter destruction, and not everyone makes it out alive. There’s also quite a bit of language, including the one F-bomb you get in a PG-13 movie, courtesy of John C. Reilly. I’d say this is OK for viewers around 9 or 10 and older.

The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part. The 1 st  part of this movie was based on the comic series, 300, which is written by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whereas, the 2 nd  part of this franchise was based on another unreleased novel of Frank Miller, Xerxes. After 2 parts of this movie franchise, audience is waiting f

Stranger Things: M. Night Shyamalan Wants To Direct In Season 2

Image
Well  here's  a plot twist we weren't expecting — though maybe we should have been:  M. Night Shyamalan  — whose new film,  Split , is getting some of his best reviews since  The Sixth Sense  — has expressed an interest in directing episodes of  Stranger Things ' second season. The reason we shouldn't be surprised is that the Duffer Brothers, creators and guiding force of the Netflix series, used to work  for  Shyamalan on the television series  Wayward Pines , which represented their first TV work. While promoting  Split , Shyamalan commented, "My boys who do  Stranger Things , they did  Wayward Pines  for me. They were round my house and I was, like, 'Well, you can hire me back, guys.'" No word on what the Duffers have to say in response. The series is expected to return later this year and will reportedly consist of nine episodes, compared to season one's eight. Elsewhere on the  Stranger Things  news front, Millie Bobby Brown, who pla
