this evening, my friend amber and i went to the dollar theatre and watched "Be Kind Rewind." it's a movie about the owner of the video rental store in a small town.
the owner goes on vacation and leaves mike (mos def) in charge. mike's friend jerry (jack black) isn't what you'd call the fastest car on the road, but he thinks very highly of himself. he also thinks that the power company is out to get them. but jerry has a brilliant plan: sabotage the power plant! unfortunately, the plan backfires and jerry ends up getting magnetized. when jerry returns to the video store the next day, he erases all the videos.
mike--who, if you'll recall, was left in charge of the shop--decides that in order not to get in trouble they need to remake all the movies. funny, enough, people seem to like these strange new versions of all the films and mike and jerry have to create more and more of them.
anyway, so all this was really funny. i think it would be awesome to get to see some of their remakes all the way through (most were only about twenty minutes long), but i can't seem to find the "sweded" versions on the site. sad day.
the only problem i found with the actual movie was that there didn't seem to be a real end to it. lame-tron! okay, it did have an ending, but it didn't say that everything ended happily. the movie just sort of...ended.
amber and i had to decide how it really ended because we need the happy ending that everything worked out well for everyone. so, it was good for us, but we complained as we were sitting there in the theatre.
it was still a good movie and i'd go see it again, but watch out for those endings.
