The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters | Official Movie Site | Picturehouse

I just watched this last night and I was blown away. Even if you aren't a fan of video games you will enjoy this fascinating story of a nice guy named Steve Wiebe trying to overcome an army of insane video game uber-nerds to get the world record in Donkey Kong. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll stop there. Events transpire that will make you jump for joy, cry, and shake your fist in anger. This is truly a great documentary and a captivating story that is still unfolding. I highly encourage you to pick up this DVD if you haven't yet.

I liked it fairly well too but felt it was a bit biased and they were surely looking for a bad guy. Unfortunately, they made that one dude the bad guy. After that flick, he was getting all kinds of shit.

God knows what was left on the cutting room floor.

There's another video game flick entitled "Chasing Ghosts" of which I want to see.

This feature addresses some of the bias allegations, and is a cool interview besides:
