136: Horrors of War - Double Feature! 'The Wave' & 'Waltz with Bashir'

Okay, so these two movies don't have a LOT in common.  One is a fictionalized examination of how easily a movement like Fascism can take hold and one is an animated documentary following one soldier's attempts to remember what happened during a war.  

But both do show, in totally different ways, the horrors of war. 

Since this is not the easiest of subjects to talk about, naturally we handle it with grace and decorum....Okay that last part MAY not be true.

Check out our reviews of The Wave and Waltz with Bashir.

41 - The Best Anagram I Could Come up With for "Sword Raw" is 'Word Wars'

It's Documentary time!

Continuing our tradition of documentaries featuring people doing mundane things (like playing Donkey Kong) EXCEPTIONALLY well, we're proud to present 'Word Wars'!

This 2004 docu-drama about tournament Scrabble players got no attention outside of festivals, but is now READILY available to stream online, which is pretty exciting for these low budget gems.

Anyone got a good anagram for "dubious award"?

26 - It's ON Like 'King of Kong'

This is our half-year anniversary, and what better movie to review than the winner of our Last Exit to Nowhere giveaway @charlesyi! His winning selection was 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters'.

In addition to this being 6 months, a fan selection, and a contest winning entry, it's also our first documentary. KoK follows competetive Donky Kong players as they try to break a high score set TWENTY years before.

Have you played Donkey Kong recently? It's REALLY effing hard...
