Kong: Skull Island

In 1973, government seismologist Bill Randa (John Goodman) sold his superiors on the notion that an uncharted isle in the Pacific held the keys to a generation’s scientific advancement. His ragtag team of soldiers and researchers discovered the atoll’s secrets, to their everlasting terror: scores of bloodthirsty mutated beasts and an uncanny giant gorilla lording dominion over all. Crowd-pleasing re-do of the fright favorite co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John C. Reilly. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
