Review of October Sky (1999) by Brian E — 13 Nov 2008
Every once in a while a gem drops outta no-where. October Sky is one of those gems.
Released in 1999 and Staring Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Cooper, this flick tells the True Story of Homer Hickam. A boy with dreams of building rockets.
The story takes place in the 1950's in a small mining town in WV. Without much support and with a lot of ridicule, Homer tries to overcome his situation and live his dreams.
You might be thinking..."blah blah blah, another feelgood movie". But thats OK...I would have thought that also. I almost changed the channel when this flick came on. I am Glad I didn't !
This is a great Flick and even better that its a true story. Homer Hickam went on to become a engineer at NASA and MUCH more.
