umm sorry not really, however I did for some reason enjoy "The Wizard" 

I enjoy watching it from time to time.  I read one of John Leguizamo's books (He's one of my favorite actors) and he talked about how horrible it was to make that movie.  The main problem was that the studio wanted the movie made for kids (obviously), but the directors, a married British couple, were trying to give it a darker, sexier, more adult theme...I think he also mentioned that the directors had never even played a game before.

I used to love that movie, but then one time about two years ago, my friend Dan and I watched it for kicks, because he had never seen it before, and it was definitely not the same movie as I remembered.  It just lost a lot of the magic for me, and I was disappointed.

I've been a fan of the Super Mario Bros. film ever since it first came out{1993, which was also the year that I first owned a NES, after renting one for years/owning & playing the Atari VCS and the ColecoVision}.

At the time, its vague connection to my favorite game series{as well as my appreciation of Bob Hoskins} made it a must-see. 

In the years since, I enjoy it also for Dennis Hopper, Fisher Stevens, Richard Edson, and Mojo Nixon{because it truly has an extremely eclectic cast}.


On the way home from the theater, my mom and I had our first conversation regarding evolutionary themes, and that has always stuck with me.

The fact that the sets were designed by the same team that worked on Blade Runner explains a lot, as does the fact that Roland Joffe and Annabel Jankel created Max Headroom.

Lastly, there's an excellent fansite about the movie-full of behind-the-scenes info, interviews, promo items, etc. that I fully recommend: smbmovie.com
