Movie Review: The King of Kong: a Fistful of Quarters

33484[1].jpgThe King of Kong: a Fistful of Quarters has been raking in near-universal praise since its premier at the Slamdance Film Festival last January. The Village Voice called it a “miniature masterpiece,” the Los Angeles Times described it as “compulsively watchable,” and Ebert and Roeper proclaimed it worthy of an Oscar nomination. All this over a movie about two middle-aged guys determined to best each other’s Donkey Kong scores. What gives?
