Movie Review
I'm reviewing a movie called "October Sky" which is actually an anagram for "Rocket Boys." Cool right? At least I think it's cool. It's probably not that cool. So "October sky'' is about a boy named Homer who is in high school in a small mining town near the Appalachian Mountains. His dad basically owns the mine, and wants his sons to take over. The only way out of becoming a coal miner was a football scholarship. Homer tried to get onto the team like his brother Jim, but he pretty much sucks at sports. Good thing he becomes a rocket geek! He just didn't know it yet. After seeing the Russian satellite, Sputnik in the sky, Homer decides he doesn't want to mine coal, he wants to be a rocket scientist! Go Homer! So he recruits his best friends, Roy Lee and O'Dell, and along with the high school weirdo Quentin, they go off the overcome a series of obstacles that may just make the idea of mining coal disappear. Overall this movie was really good and I enjoyed watching it. I highly recommend it.
