I saw the movie Pixels last night and it really took me back — to the arcade! It's an 8-bit adventure starring some of our favorite old school video game heroes. Oh, and Adam Sandler.

Sandler plays an underachieving, somewhat dim-witted former teen video game champion whose even dimmer best friend (Kevin James) somehow grows up to be President of the United States.

Enter the aliens. They get a hold of some 1982 pop-culture highlight clips and mistake images from classic arcade games as a military threat. The aliens respond by disguising themselves as Centipede and Pac-Man and attacking the Earth. Sandler, of course, is called on to…that's all I'll say so I don't spoil the movie for you.

If you do go see Pixels, be prepared to get all nostalgic for your long lost, 8-bit buddies from video games of yesteryear. And don't be surprised if you find yourself digging through the attic for your old Atari console — I did!
