The Wizard (1989)


Last night I stayed up till 5:30am to watch The Wizard. I probably hadn't seen this movie in over ten years so it was nice to watch something from my childhood. The Wizard is about a kid named Jimmy Woods who is a quite video game prodigy, who along with his brother Corey and a girl named Haley played by a young Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley fame travel to LA to play in Video Armageddon (a Nintendo tournament). In December this movie will be twenty years old and just to see how far video games have come from this is in a way mind boggling. I'm really not a big fan of video games anymore, but I'm always been a big fan of Nintendo and Super Nintendo. So a movie about Nintendo was really cool to see again. We need more movies made about the original Nintendo and Super Nintendo.
