movie review - Pixels

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.10.01

This is an Adam Sandler movie in which he and a (rather excellent support cast of) team fight to save the world from space invaders that have chosen the form of all our favorite '80s video games. Such as Pac Man and the one where you shoot up through your own defensive structures. It's harmless fun with an unexpectedly sour note from the otherwise sterling Sean Bean. Speaking of, this has Peter Dinklage in it, hamming it up to maximum effect in a perfect rendition of an '80s movie villain.

But.

Not recommended.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.
