If you’re a regular moviegoer like me, at this point in the summer you’re probably suffering from a bit of what I like to call ”blockbuster bloat” and are probably looking for something a little different. Normally, I’d recommend something like the documentary King Of Kong<\/strong>, which opens today. In fact, when I saw the film – which tells the struggle of a laid-off Boeing engineer attempting to break the world’s Donkey Kong record high score and discovering himself suddenly entrenched in the surprisingly internecine world of competitive video gaming – this past spring at the Philadelphia International Film Festival, I gave the film a positive review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Picturehouse is only opening the film on a total of five screens, so unless you live in New York City, Seattle, Austin or Los Angeles, you’re out of luck. However, according to the film’s website<\/a>, it will be making its way to at least 25 more markets within the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

To whet your appetite, though, Picturehouse has supplied us with a clip from the movie featuring an explanation from some of the folks in the video game world about the degree of difficulty to be found in Donkey Kong-<\/p>\n
