The New York Times is reporting that not only will Peter Jackson's "King Kong" come with a running time of 180 minutes, but also with a new price-tag that's just north of $200 million. Neither of these "problems" caused much of a roadblock for smash hits like "Titanic" and the "Lord of the Rings" epics, so there's no reason to expect that is bad news.

Critical Consensus: ?Ring Two? Bores, ?Ice Princess? Charms
Sequels are not doing well this month as two weeks ago, critics gave a tepid response to "Be Cool," the sequel to "Get Shorty." This week, DreamWorks' "The Ring Two," the second sequel released this month, receives a similar response. As in the case with "The Pacifier" where it served as counter-programming to "Be Cool," Disney opens another family comedy, "Ice Princess," to compete with "Ring Two." However, unlike the week "Be Cool" was released, where it was not a matter of which film critics like more, but rather which they dislike the least, there is a fresh movie to choose from this week.
