King Kong

During the Great Depression, a shifty movie producer tells his cast and crew that he is making a moving picture on a ship heading to Singapore, but he really wants to find the mysterious Skull Island where they find King Kong and other really big beasts and bugs. This...

Bring It On

Kirsten Dunst plays head cheerleader in high school when she finds out that her former leader stole cheers that gave them five state championships.
