Freaky Deaky I grew up on Elmore Leonard’s pulp novels. I remember reading them for as long as I could read (well not as a child but definitely as a teen). His novels are always very entertaining and easy to work through. So as my classmates were writing book reports about The Outsiders I was writing them about The Big Bounce. This may be a huge contributing factor to why I am the way I am today. So is Freaky Deaky a straight to DVD mess or another worthwhile Elmore Leonard adaptation? First a ... continue reading...
