Be Kind Rewind Here's a bit of wordplay I'm surprised nobody came up with back when Windows NT was in use:
With NT: U
NS
TABLE
Without NT: USABLE
So, yesterday I saw "Be Kind Rewind", directed by Michel Gondry. Jack Black and Mos Def are two guys who work at a little hole-in-the-wall video store that still does VHS and has dwindling clientele. One day, Jack Black tries to sabotage a nearby power plant, becomes temporarily magnetized, and accidentally erases all the videos, so he and Mos Def decide to remake all the movies with a video camera and props made in the nearby junkyard. Of course nobody is fooled (they were originally trying to fool an old lady), but everybody thinks the "Sweded" movies are funny, so they want more, so the video store begins to make some actual money.
It's kinda dumb, but fun, and a nice sentimental tribute to the DIY ethic and the art of filmmaking. If you liked "The Science of Sleep" and can stand Jack Black, you might like this. Critics seem to hate this movie; I guess it's not
for them.
( And there were a coupla stupid previews. Negative criticism really is fun to write! )
