For a girl who grew up playing video games and absolutely loving arcades…I simply cannot tell you how excited I am to see this film! It looks so awesome!

Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence.
