I am eagerly anticipating Be Kind Rewind, the newest film by director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep) starring Jack Black and Mos Def. The trailer looks hilarious and you can see it here. The story goes that Mike (Def) is distressed after his friend Jerry (Black) accidently erases all the videos in the video store he works in. To ensure that they don't lose their most loyal customer, they set about to re-create various classic films themselves. The plot seems quite simple, which is an interesting move for the usually surreal style of Gondry. I guess we shall see the result when the movie opens in Aus March 20th (and for all those overseas who have seen it already...shut the #%$^ up!).

I saw the film a few nights ago and it was kinda funny but very Hollywood with a boring plotline. What a shame...I expect so much from Gondry...I just hope his next film is as exciting at Science of Sleep...
