So after reviewing Word Wars last week, we totally had words on the brain. What better to follow up a documentary on Scrabble than to jump in to a FREAKING WEIRD movie about word zombies?

Canadians come up with the oddest zombie flicks, so sit back and watch what you say, the "virus" is spread through understanding...

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"?

Now normally I'd use this space to give some witty teaser as to what is in this week's episode, but THIS week I would like to express my extreme disappointment that Sam Rockwell did not receive a nomination for his work in this film. It's rare that we get to see a performer of this caliber carry a movie entirely on his or her own, and Rockwell certainly rises to the occasion. This man is LONG overdue for an Academy Award nomination (and can someone post a better picture of him up on IMDB...).

Now with that out of the, let's dig into the 2009 Science Fiction CLASSIC 'Moon'!

@MYMHM You got it boys! Just watched it! You chaps are HI-LARIOUS! Much love. Two times. Word to your mother.

TOTALLY RAD!

Jeff Cannata was hugely supportive of our show in it's first few episodes (plus giving us our first big Twitter push). We couldn't think of a better way to thank him than to have him join us for a film he loves! 

It just makes our job THAT much easier when he brings 'Melvin Goes to Dinner'. This indie sweetheart came out of the LA theater scene, and features an INCREDIBLE cast of leads and cameos. Bob Odenkirk has directed a comic and intimate look at strangers baring their souls.

It really is one of those films we're proud to discuss, as it's a shame more people haven't seen it.

We must extend MAJOR thanks to Jeff, not only for bringing this great film to our attention, but for all the support he's given us. You can catch Jeff every Tuesday as one of the hosts of The Totally Rad Show on Revision3.com, and you can also keep up with his other exploits on his personal (award winning) site JeffCannata.com.

What can we say? We here at Movies You May Have Missed really like J.D. Salinger. So much so, that this film's blatant homage to Catcher in the Rye kinda gave us the warm fuzzies.

Igby Goes Down features an incredible cast (with some really unexpected break out performances), great city cinemetography, and a charming story of a wandering youth.

Don't be fake! Check it out:
