Tie-in Tuesday: PIXELS vs GAME OVER
Well I've finally been to see
PIXELS
, the Adam Sandler movie inspired by this awesome short film...
PIXELS works on a basic level - there are some great set pieces, particularly the Pac-Man chase - but there are some really crude, misjudged jokes - Serena Williams, you're better than this! Martha Stewart might not be, but you are, Serena - and Josh Gad's sole purpose in the movie appears to be to scream in the most irritating manner for most of the time he's on screen. In a nutshell, somebody really should have hired a writer to work on the script.
The good news is that GAME OVER, the horror anthology inspired by classic arcade games - the launch date of which was brought forward to coincide with the release of PIXELS - is still available for your Kindle for a Hall of Fame High-Score Table-busting £1.19. And, as is so often the case, the book is considerably better than the movie.
