The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

I’ve never been a lover of video games -- aside from a long-ago, brief but intense affair with Ms. Pac-man -- so I’m not the best judge of Seth Gordon’s documentary about the monumental battle for Donkey Kong supremacy between a mullet-headed slick operator from Gainesville and a Seattle dad laid off from his engineering job at Boeing. The film is well put together, and if I had any sympathy for its subject and object, I might have enjoyed it as much as Spellbound or Wordplay. But not, so not. (2007, dvd, n.) *6* (MC-83.)
