Sophie's Choice was a good movie. I think Stand By Me is so good because it
reminds a lot of people about their own coming of age. I love movies, but I
don't care to go to the movies, so I rent a lot of movies that interest me
when they release. Last week I watched Sully, which I enjoyed. Also Papa
Hemingway in Cuba was good, very interesting and beautiful scenery.
