Fistful of Quarters




Steve Wiebe, above, the protagonist from the movie "King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters," after playing an intense game of Donkey Kong. Below is Billy Mitchell, the antagonist, in all his mullet and patriotic glory. 

Jason recommended the movie, an hour-and-19-minute documentary, that chronicles the intensely competitive and secretly popular world of competitive gaming by following Mitchell's and Wiebe's quest to master Donkey Kong.

This underground world of gamers only utilize the games from the so-called Golden Age of Arcade Games, which includes classics like Donkey Kong and Pac Man.

The editors of the Fruit Street Free Press give the movie two thumbs up.

Sure, Jason thinks I should trust him with his movie choice.

I think not... :)
