Review of The Wizard (1989) by Corey B — 01 Feb 2012

All this film really is is a Nintendo commercial with bad 80s music. That all aside the movie does remind me of my generation (I feel older saying that) where there was a arcade in every restaurant, gas station, bar, comic store etc etc.

As shitty as this film is its a reminder of a brief 20 year period where arcades ruled the land. Honestly the thing that killed the arcade wasn't the consoles or PC games in my opinion it was jacking the bloody prices of playing game,s if they just kept to a quarter or a loonie (Canadian currency) arcades would still roam the land.

Alas, no more.
