{movie} the wizard (1989)

Once Corey Woods (Fred Savage) realizes his emotionally troubled kid brother is a video game prodigy, the two run away together to enter the ultimate video game competition in California. But getting there is half the battle: With their parents, older brother (Christian Slater) and a bounty hunter in pursuit and new friend Haley along for the ride, the boys set their sights on the big tournament, where they hope to haul in the $50,000 prize.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** (Actually 2.5) Ah, when Nintendo ruled the world. I was so addicted to Super Mario as a kid. The movie wasn't as good as I remember it being when I first saw it as a kid, but it's still a good little movie. "Send Me An Angel" by Real Life is still one of my favorite songs. And who can forget the Power Glove or Jimmy's "California" at the start of the movie.
