Be Kind Rewind

Just got back from Michel Gondry's (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) new film - Be Kind Rewind as part of the Film Festival.

Its the story of a video store where all the tapes get deleted so Mos Def and Jack Black's characters (Mike and Jessy) re-enact or 'swede' all the videos. It's like somewhere between Clerks and Hercules Returns. Like the latter its a bit slow to kick off but once they're into making the movies its an absolute crack up.

Their remakes of Ghostbusters and Robocop were hillarious as was Jack Black doing Jackie Chan in Rush Hour 2 but my favourite had to be 2001 A Space Odyssey when they re-did the circular space walk bit. You will get the idea from the trailer below. I wouldn't say its the greatest comedy but definitely a laugh and if you were into Hercules Returns, you will probably dig this.

Also if you haven't seen Hercules Returns there is a clip below (Testiculi and Labia flirting) - its a classic Aussie film
