Seeing Beast Mode on the Big Screen
I’ve always been a fan of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. It’s a movie about a guy who makes a lot of friends across the country and after he plays a role in a movie, he invites them to the premier. Yes, there is his quest for his bike, but I think the movie is more about the friends than the bike itself.

| Well written character drama during the Civil War. Not as good as The Killer Angels, but really good. The weaving of characters and situations was excellent and the grittiness was superb. The suspense and the built were all well done. The book captur ...more | |
