King of California has also arrived

King of California is the other movie to grace our mailbox today, and after reading the entire teaser line for Sex and Breakfast, I’m thinking King is the better choice.

King of CaliforniaOn the surface this may not sound that good:

“After spending several years in a mental institute Charlie (Michael Douglas) is sent home, reuniting with his teenage daughter Miranda (Evan Rachel Wood). Charlie becomes obsessed with the notion that a long-lost Spanish treasure is buried underneath their local suburban California Costco. Disconnected from reality and his daughter’s life, Charlie’s erratic behavior further strains their relationship and completely disrupts her peaceful existence.”

Sounds like teen angst and a fathe/daughter reconcilliation movie, but watch the trailer (embedded after the break) and I think you’ll see why I’m kinda looking forward to watching this. I like Michael Douglas, and this movie looks like it let’s him play a pretty funny character.

In any case, it comes out on DVD next Tuesday so I’ll make sure there’s a review on the mothership in time for you to make your purchase/rental decisions. More pictures (and the trailer) after the break.
