Be Kind, Rewind
Jack Black is kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes I think he’s really good (School of Rock) and other times he can be kind of annoying (mostly everything else). But his new movie (or at least this new movie that he’s in), Be Kind, Rewind, looks really good. It’s directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), which probably has a lot to do with it, but I think Jack Black as actually a really good fit for this part. I probably would have seen this movie based on the concept alone, without even seeing the trailer:
A man becomes accidentally magnetized and erases all the tapes in the video store where his best friend works. To save the store, the duo re-enact and re-film every movie that its single loyal customer, an elderly woman, rents.
In case that isn’t enough for you, here’s the trailer:
