"KONG: SKULL ISLAND" BRINGS EXPLOSIVE ACTION TO THE BIG SCREEN.

The imposing Skull Island poster that best depicts the action embedded in the movie

  After watching War on the Planet of Apes, i was convinced i am not really a fan of animal movies. I had hurried to see that movie based on the outstanding first outing it made a few years ago. When i told a friend that i considered watching War on the Planet of Apes an absolute waste of my time, my friend asked me to make all efforts to see the 2017 remake of King Kong movie titled Skull Island.

Although i knew when the movie was released in early 2017, i never had any intention of watching it. I felt, just like the Tarzan series, no new thing can be added to spice up this Legendary Giant Ape story.

Samuel L. Jackson and his team of dare devil pilots before flying straight into the storm surrounding Skull Island.

 I made out time to see the movie. As soon as Samuel L. Jackson stepped into the movie in Military Pilot's uniform i knew i was in for a blast. Every artist in that movie put up a performance that would glue all skeptics to their seats till the very explosive end of the movie.

Flying into the Tempest

The summary of the story is that Scientists, soldiers and adventurers unite to explore a mythical, uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean. Cut off from everything they know, they venture into the domain of the mighty Kong, igniting the ultimate battle between man and nature. As their mission of discovery soon becomes one of survival, they must fight to escape from a primal world where humanity does not belong.

Kong: Skull Island is a 2017 American monster film that is a reboot of the King Kong franchise and serves as the second film in Legendary's franchise MonsterVerse. The film stars an ensemble cast consisting of Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Jing Tian, Toby Kebbell, John Ortiz, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Shea Whigham, Thomas Mann, Terry Notary, and John C. Reilly. Kong follows a team of scientists and Vietnam War soldiers who travel to an uncharted island in the Pacific and encounter terrifying creatures and the mighty Kong. The film is directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and written by Dan Gilroy, Max Borenstein and Derek Connolly, from a story by John Gatins.

The Star Characters of Skull Island: Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson

Principal photography took place from October 2015 to March 2016 in Hawaii and various locations around Vietnam. Kong: Skull Island premiered on February 28, 2017, in London and was released in the United States on March 10, 2017, in 2D, 3D, IMAX 3D and in Dolby Cinemas. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $566 million worldwide against its $185 million budget.

The movie has an attraction for people of all ages and taste for different movie types as there an element of the Jurassic Park type of pre-historic creatures other than Kong, there is a message for environmental protection and preservation, there are exciting tactical aerial battles and aviation stunts, there are boating scenes, there are Vietnam type Military maneuvers and there is a continuous thrilling suspense because you can never guess what happens next and who survives in the end.

After all said and done, Kong: Skull Island is the most explosive movie of the year 2017. Well, let's wait and see, just maybe we may yet be surprised with more blockbusters from Hollywood before the end of the year. Keep reading Leisure Quest and we promise to keep you informed.

   Popular Nollywood Actor: Mokwenye Denilson Nnamdi  a.k.a HRH Snazzy is on the news again. This time around, the maverick movie actor and entrepreneur was spotted at Liberty International Airport, Newark, New Jersey in the United States of America.

Snazzy has thus far had an awesome year as he has continued to receive several awards, which recently culminated in being formally presented to the world as Ambassador for CIROC VODKA.

When pictures of his arrival started to circulate on the internet, Leisure Quest quickly made attempts to verify if the pictures are of any current or recent trip, and curiously to try and discover if he was travelling for business or pleasure.

After several attempts to contact the Nollywood Icon, HRH Snazzy placed a surprise call to leisure quest entertainment team, confirming the trip to the U.S which he said was both for business and short vacation. 

When further pressed for information, he revealed that the trip would also involve a movie project somewhere in Los Angelis on or about the middle of August, 2016.

When asked if he had decided to shift his career to Hollywood, he chuckled and said "The Movie Family is a Universal Home for Talents. You can act in any part of the world and still return to your home base. Remember, East or West, there is no place like home".

Snazzy is know as a man of many talents, thus it comes as no surprise that most of his affiliate companies and businesses seem to do well under his supervision and strict management.

Snazzy friends and fans have been expressing the best wishes for him on his short trip and they say they can't wait to have him back to light up the social atmosphere in and around the Asaba metropolis once again.
