That is so strange. I visited the site yesterday to see if there was a reason that you hadn’t done a review in a while…and the day before that, I watched this movie.
Welcome back!
Clearly this movie spoke to Michael the same way it spoke to me. Ah I remember those days of going to the arcade…
I had no more fun in the movies in 2007 than at King of Kong.
I’ve talked more about King of Kong than any other 2007 flick.
There is no DVD I want more than King of Kong.
And it’s a freaking documentary.
And it’s a real documentary - not a Sicko411 kinda thing.
Classic ageless story told in a very specific (very specific) moment in time.
Brilliant.
Paul
