- Wonderful Movie to Watch Alone or With Family
One of my all-time favorite films. No matter how many times I see it I still cry at the same scenes. Based on the true-life experience of a humble but determined young man "October Sky" shows that perserverence can make dreams come true.

- Like to waste your time? Then you'll love this one.
I saw this one in the theater after a friend of a friend convinced me to see it with him (he was seeing it for a second time.) After the first ten minutes, I wanted to leave. If you like formulaic and predictable movies that attempt to...
