Jack Black Rocks!

King Kong:

The starting 60 minutes of this Peter Jackson movie was superb thanks to Jack Black! But soon, Peter Jackson because of his 'LOTR' hangover started scripting a few wild action-sequences(gory ones) and that really took the spotlight away from what could have been a superb movie. These giant creatures and its gory activities and sometimes its really humane activities is over-exploited and Peter Jackson would have done a far better job had he made 'King Kong' off-the-screen and tried to continue to build the aura about King Kong(just like how Manoj Night Shyamalan or Hitchcock will do).

School of Rock:

This movie was good thanks to Jack Black again!
Jack Black comes across as a below-par guy just like Adam Sandler and rocks the movie. He was exceptional in a similar role like this in the movie 'Orange County' as well. The way he picked up the monitor of the class as 'manager' and african-american kid as 'security' was fun to watch!

Freaky Friday:

Movie was okay, but of course some predictable humour. Ordinary fare!

Anand,

Yet to see Transporter 2, so cant provide you my opinion on that. But I saw Transporter 1 and it was good. But very few sequels match upto their originals. So, my guess is that Transporter 2 wont be all that racy thriller as transporter 1.

AquaM,

Yep, School of Rock is fun. One surely will like Jack Black's acting style.
True, Freaky Friday was really ordinary.
