Film The King of Donkey Kong.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Thu, Aug 16 at 2:50 PM

Just got back from a screening of King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which was one of the most entertaining and sharp documentaries I’ve seen in a quite a while. It seriously kicked all sorts of ass.

A lot of people don’t go to documentaries in theaters—instead waiting for DVD or, you know, just never seeing them at all—but this one’s definitely worth seeking out and going to. The film’s absolutely hilarious, but it’s also surprisingly moving, genuine, and intense. Check it out for sure. Anyway, we’ll be reviewing the film next week (it opens at Cinema 21 on August 24), but in the meantime, here’s the trailer.
