Win a Non-Sweded Copy of Be Kind Rewind on DVD!

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on June 18, 2008

Be Kind Rewind Giveaway

Into the seemingly endless FSR goodie bag we go yet again, folks. This time we’ve pulled out five (5) copies of the Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) film Be Kind Rewind, which stars Jack Black and Mos Def as two friends who accidentally erase all the tapes in their video store. In order to save the business, they must remake the movies in shorter, “sweded” versions. It is a lot of fun, a film that I saw at Sundance an to which I gave a very rave review. We are excited to be able to bring you the opportunity to score a free copy. All you need to do is follow the simple instructions found below.

In order to enter, all you have to do is follow the standard drill. Step one is to be a subscriber to our daily email updates, powered by Feedburner.

The second is that you must answer a question.

And now, the question:

If you were going to have Jack Black and Mos Def “swede”, or remake an already existing film for you, what would it be?

I Think This one would be a little hard but Beowulf I think would be a good movie to “Swede”. Mabey Put A little comedy in the Mix. Beowulf had a fantastic cast an A-list cast but I think Jack Black as Hrothgar would be a sight to see.

Peace, BamHawk314
