The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King



Directed by
Peter Jackson

The Fellowship divides to conquer as Frodo and Sam, with the help and hindrance of Gollum, continue their way to Mount Doom. Gandalf and Pippin ride to Minas Tirith to help defend Gondor while Merry remains with Eowyn and the other Rohan fighters.

All these battles have one goal in mind: distract the Eye of Sauron and buy Frodo a little more time to destroy the ring.

King Kong 2005



King Kong is a 2005 remake of the original 1933 King Kong about a giant ape called Kong. This 2005 version was directed by Peter Jackson, produced by Jackson and Fran Walsh, and written by Jackson, Walsh and Philippa Boyens. The cast includes Naomi Watts in the role of Ann Darrow, Jack Black as Carl Denham, Adrien Brody as Jack Driscoll, and through performance capture, Andy Serkis as Kong. Much of the crew had previously worked on Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, with the exception of the composer James Newton Howard, who replaced Jackson's Lord of the Rings collaborator Howard Shore due to "differing creative aspirations for the score of King Kong."

Filming was done in Miramar, New Zealand, and the film was released on December 14, 2005. It was rated PG-13 in the US, and 12A in the U.K. for frightening adventure violence and some disturbing images.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ( 2005 )



Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Published in 2000, the release of this book was surrounded by more hype than any other children's book in recent times - outdone only by its successors, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. At 636 pages (hardback British edition) it was fairly large for a children's book. The book attracted a lot of attention owing to a pre-publication warning from J.K. Rowling that one of the characters would be murdered in the book. This started a stream of rumour and speculation as to who the murdered character would be. The publishing of Goblet of Fire caused unprecedented heights of Pottermania to be reached internationally.

Movie Outline:
Harry finds himself selected as an underaged competitor in a dangerous multi-wizardary school competition.
