I went to see King Kong today with my good friend Darrell.

It was a film with loads of action and emotion, but then the script is a winner with the great tale of the beauty winning over the beast. The story is well known and wonderful, although a sad tale of man destroying that which he is scared of and does not (take the time to) understand. Kind of a weird parallel with the church there, but that’s a blog for another time!

I loved the film, although Jackson could easily have made the film 20 or so minutes shorter (at just over 3 hours of action it is an epic!) as there was a seriously massive amount of monster on monster fight action – but I’m not going into that as I could then be accused of spoiling it for you.

This is a great holiday – 2 cinema movies, fun with the children – and tomorrow we still have the traditional Ryan ‘Birthday Party for Jesus’ tomorrow when we will see a house full of friends and their children.

The celebration of Christ’s birth will really start then!
