Kim's Video (review)


 I saw the trailer and was instantly drawn to this documentary of a wild video rental store in New York which carried one of the largest selection of hard to find (illegally ripped) copies of every odd and obscure movie out there. 

When videos went the way of the dinosaur, the store closed and donated their collection to a small city in Italy to be used as a museum. 

This documents someone finding out what ever happened to that collection and where it is today. 

From the trailer, it looks interesting but when you watch the whole thing, it falls flat. The director doesn't really know what he wants to do or what point to make about it all. He tries to make you believe he has this interesting story to tell when it reality....it's much ado about nothing. 

Too bad. The concept was there but the intrigue was not. 

Have a good weekend everyone!
