Viewed on December 22, 2012 on Netflix Streaming This was my third time watching this movie, and it’s still just as entertaining as the first time. Easily my favorite Adam Sandler movie. He’s played the troubled simpleton before, but never so interestingly. I’m actually invested in this character and would want to follow his life […]

When you were a kid and you’d go to the local arcade, did you ever stop to wonder what the video game characters did after you finished playing the game?
