    Be Kind Rewind:

    In Passaic, NJ, Elroy Fletcher (Danny Glover) runs a video store in a condemned building he claims was the birthplace of jazz great Fats Waller. Fletcher goes on a Waller centennial trip, leaving his foster son Mike (Jack Black) in charge of the store. Mike’s peculiar friend Jerry (Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def) tries to sabotage a power station and nearly electrocutes himself, getting magnetized in the process – and inadvertently erasing every tape in the store.

    Mike discovers the disaster and is further pressed when Fletcher’s acquaintance Miss Falewicz (Mia Farrow) wants to rent Ghostbusters. To prevent her from reporting a problem to Fletcher, Mike comes up with an idea: as Miss Falewicz has never seen the movie, he proposes to recreate the film with cheap special effects, using himself and Jerry as the actors and hoping to fool her. Soon their homemade versions of films develop a cult following. Will this new business save the store and the building?

    2008, 102 minutes, USA/UK/France, directed by Michel Gondry, Rated PG-13

    • “In a larger sense Be Kind Rewind declares that the riches of cinema history touch each of us personally. Films become so deep a part of us that we own them that our memories of them, whether faithful or fanciful, become their meanings. As a movie critic and, even before and above that, a movie lover, how can I disagree with that?”

      – Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE
    • “It's an exuberant, fanciful fable set amid the scruffy outskirts of American society, where people's need for escapism coincides with their desire to participate in its creation.”

      – Kirk Honeycutt, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
    • “There's nothing not to like about the movie, a teensy, hand-crocheted trifle, fitted with embroidered pockets of guest stardom, including Mia Farrow as the nice local lady who wants to see what "Ghostbusters" is all about.”
