Movie review - Pixels

Bird in Oakland

Every Friday I go to the movies. I get paid to go to each different version of first run movies and make a list of what trailers are being shown. I usually will sit through the last movie I must see to watch the movie. Last year I made $900 doing this and watched lots of movies. So, each Friday I will review the movie I saw. This week I saw Pixels. Bottom line is go see it if you want to see a movie, versus you must see it or don't see it unless you want to sleep. Also remember the pictures I use on my blog have nothing to do with what I write.

Girl and her dog on the beach

I don't usually like Adam Sandler because he is like an adult that behaves like a child. I don't find him funny and I don't know if he is acting or just being himself on a stage. I have always liked Kevin James and he is always funny to me. Peter Dinklage is good in everything he does ... I'm glad he doesn't do comedy. There was a female, but I don't know her name and she was not good in this film. Adam Sandler never knows how to be romantic, still. I judge movies on the story more than anything else, and I didn't think I would like the story, but I did.

Para-surfing

The story line is a little stupid and silly, but I grew up with video games and it was fun to relive my past. I enjoyed the movie and I had to leave after an hour to go check out another showing to list the trailers. I didn't think it would be a problem since I thought I wouldn't like the movie. But, I liked the movie and almost was late for the other movie because I wanted to see what happened. The beginning of the movie has a bunch of kids in an arcade contest, that was a little boring. Then it goes to the main part of the movie with the aliens attacking and that was ok.

Being pulled by a parachute

The end has the nerds saving the world and the action was fun to watch. You know how it will end and there isn't really a twist so it won't get very good reviews. Rotten Tomato review.  I liked this movie and I liked the story. They tried to put romance in the movie and that didn't work. I would suggest people see this movie if they want to go to a movie and there is nothing they really want to see. The problem is there is lots to see right now. First see Jurassic World, then see Inside Out, then see Minions, then Ant-man; Those are all must sees.

Then see Trainwreck and Pixels if you need more movies to see and don't want to sleep. Lots of good films this year. I suggest everyone see Max and McFarland USA to feel good.
