"Were video games as popular in the late 80s as this movie potrays? If so, wow. If you're a gamer, this is a must-see. Oh and it has Lucas and the Powerglove. So bad!"

Fictional "woobies": they suffer well! (73 movies items)

"The woobie of this movie was the traumatized little boy, "Jimmy Woods" aka "The Wizard (walking in the middle in this picture). Most drama movies have one main woobie that stands out. Note: it's not always the one who is "hurt most", but usually the one that feels guilty. Guilt (especially misplaced guilt) creates woobies! Jimmy is traumatized and feels survivor guilt over the death of his fraternal twin sister Jenny, who drowned, and doesn't speak. "

Guilty Pleasures (34 movies items)

"If I was on Siskel and Ebert, I would give this film a thumbs down, but still, there is some good things about this film, and while I don't necessarily think the good overshadows the bad, I still think it's fun watching nevertheless."
