Pros: never thought I'd say it, Nick Nolte

Pros: Fantasy, humor.
Cons: 2 hours.
Summary: I went to see PEACEFUL WARRIOR with my better half. I expected a typical depressing teen flick about an athletic youth horribly injured. It was not like that at all. This film is supposedly inspired by true events. You will come to see that this ... read more
