King of Kong
If you’re in LA this week, run - don’t walk - to see The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters at the Nuart in West LA while it’s still showing. I just got home from the 7:30pm (packed house) screening and director/producer Q&A, and… Wow!
If you like gaming. If you don’t like gaming. If you’ve never even heard of the game Donkey Kong, you’ll likely agree that this is one of the most riveting documentaries of the past few years. What starts off as a quirky, kitschy, funny story of obsessive gamers, turns into a fight to the finish that left us all rooting for the underdog. I haven’t seen a better character study in quite some time.
Seriously. Just go.
