King of California / The King of Kong

KING OF CALIFORNIA, 2007, First Look International, 96 min. Dir. Mike Cahill. Evan Rachel Wood plays a 16-year-old whose life takes an interesting turn when her father (Michael Douglas) is released from the mental institution where he has spent many years and enlists her in his attempt to unearth a lost Spanish treasure, which he believes to be buried beneath the local Costco.

THE KING OF KONG, 2007, PictureHouse Entertainment, 79 min. Dir. Seth Gordon. In 1982, "Gamer of the Century" Billy Mitchell managed to score 874,300 points on the arcade classic Donkey Kong, a record many thought would never be broken. In 2003, 35-year-old family man Steve Wiebe, after losing his job at Boeing, found solace in Donkey Kong, surpassing Billy's record with a thought-to-be-impossible 1,000,000 points. Steve and Billy then engaged in a cross-country duel to see who could set the high score and become the King of Kong.
