Review of Pixels (2015) by John D — 23 Oct 2015
At minute 57, I had not stopped smiling. Where many trends tend to do anything to undermind and deconstruct the interior value of the 80's and 90's, Adam Sandler is one who continues to build. I realized recently as I felt the train of the next generation leaving the station, feeling absolutely detatched, looking at the rooms and halls of my 4th graders school at a parent teacher conference.
There is nothing for me there. Michael Jackson had a song "Have you seen my childhood ", I did not understand it, then now, I am the age he was when he performed it. My generation left that station in 1984 with Rock me Amedaous.
Our childhood is long since dead, but, we are not, we are still alive, not only that, we are we are about to arrive. It stands to the question, what the heck do you people want from a movie? What you fail to reason with, it is the material underneath the score, that 20 movies from now can realize.
Did Monkey Kingdom get a 77% because children enjoyed it? Because mine did not get 20 minutes in before screaming in emotional outburst to turn it off. Yet pixels, the critics want bash it. And the audience reviewers try to say the same thing in their own intellect.
You are all holding on to tightly and just let go.
