Toronto- Do you like movies? Do you like video games? Do you like moives about video games?

King Of Kong - A Fistful Of Quarters follows Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell as they compete for the worlds highest arcade Donkey Kong score. Sounds pretty simple eh? Well, it isn’t. Throughout the film you are taken inside the world of middle age men who devote themselves and compete for classic arcade game high scores and the unofficial organizatin that keeps track of these scores.

This movie has everything. A good guy, a bad guy, suspense, tragedy, humor, and kill screens. The documentary builds and builds until Steve and Billy engage in a cross-country duel to see who can set the high score that will be included in the 2007 Guinness World Records’ Book for Donkey Kong. Its pretty awesome.

5/5 - Go see this movie. In Toronto it is playing at the Bloor until Wednesday, Dec 12th. Soon on DVD.
