After waiting two weeks, we watched Be Kind Rewind, a movie my wife added to our Netflix queue. I had heard of the movie’s premise. A couple of video rental store employees lose the inventory, and recreate each movie using schlocky homemade methods. Starring Jack Black and Mos Def, I saved this type of movie in the “I’ll watch it on cable on a lazy Saturday afternoon category. It was actually a decent little movie. Some odd/humorous parts, with a story thrown in about the town of Passaic’s backstory / community and saving the store.
Yeah, Passaic. It takes place in Passaic, NJ, which is a hop, skip, and a jump to our old stomping grounds.
