2008: the slate of smartness
Be Kind Rewind
High concept meets, well, Jack Black in this outrageous comedy set to premiere at the Sundance Festival next week. Director Michel Gondry's incredible idea features Black accidentally destroying all the tapes in his friend Mos Def's video library. They have one client, a fragile-brained elderly lady, but to keep her loyalty, the two buddies decided to remake all the films using themselves and people from their neighbourhood -- everything from Ghostbusters to Back To The Future and Robocop.
Madness, such fantastically hairbrained madness.
