Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007)

Probably the best movie I saw all year.

It's amazingly entertaining -- the story of a family man without too many successes in his life deciding to go for the record on Donkey Kong and what happens along the way. And, boy, what happens along the way is bizarre.

It's dramatic, touching, crazy, and maddening -- you can't make stuff like this up. Loved it.

A+
