Pixels

 Chris Columbus (better known for directing children's movies like "Home Alone" and "Harry Potter") has brought us a movie that would make smile all the 80's kids and teenagers. Nevertheless it is also a movie that brings memories to all the geeks from that era, from reintroducing us to Pac-man to Max Headroom. That is not to say that the new ages are not going to enjoy it, but it is the same thing as "The transformers" movie, at least the first one, an 80's kid would feel nostalgic from listening to the music to seeing the character come alive, while the new generation is going to be as entertained by the graphics and fights as the other.
Plus any fan of "Game of thrones" will feel excited to see Sean Bean and Peter Dinklage starring in it.
Pixels it is a light comedy written by Tim Herlihy who brought us "The wedding singer" and "Big Daddy", and in this movie, he has used the same Adam Sandler formula, an average man with no ambitions who is put through an event that will change his way of life for the better.
And just as in England Simon Pegg is acomppanied by Nick Frost (The world's end), Adam Sandler can not be without his sidekick Kevin James (Mall cop), who do not disappoint in his well mastered roles.
Pixels is a movie for the family, which maybe could result in closing the generational gap between parents in children in the video game topic.
As a viewer and consumer, I do hope, this is a new era for Pac-man and Donkey-Kong.
