Default King of Kong

I thought it was quite entertaining. If you are not sure what the movie is, it is a documentary about two guys competing for the world record score in Donkey Kong.

Its not as funny as I thought it was going to be but there are a couple good laughs. It is more of a good story that paints two characters in very different lights and really gives you someone to root for.

Go Steve Wiebe!!!!!!

And, this may be hard to believe, but my wife was groaning as I picked this movie at the rental place, but she even admitted it was good.

Cmon, somebody has to try it. It is not the greatest movie you will ever see but if you like a good documentary, and can enjoy one without too serious a subject, the filmmaker did a nice job.

I plan on picking it up, just haven't had the time. I might get it later this week and I'll post up what I think about it. I was hoping for others to post reviews also but I'll just grab it.

OK so I watched this last night and I actually enjoyed it. Its not much of a movie in those terms but it is an entertaining watch. I like how Billy was talking all that crap about doing it in front of everyone, and proving your self, blah blah blah yet he's being a little bitch. I was rooting for Steve also cause that guy and his mullet were pissing me off, his nerd goons made me laugh though.

Overall a good pick up.
