‘King Kong’ was reviewed by Chris as he saw the movie & his work
productivity increased. He thought it was wonderful, absolutely
delightful - with great acting & visuals & worth full price & taking the
day off from work and forgetting to pick Evelyn up from school. Frank
follow-on’d that it was a great love story, a quite wonderful movie and
commanded us to all go out and see it. I follow-on’d that that it was
delightful & the acting was terrific, especially from the monkey & worth
seeing twice at full price. Trey follow-on’d that the actress was

refreshing that Kong knows monkey-style king fu
