Wait. Shouldn't that be titled "Somewhere between 31 and 32, Pinocchio"?

Watched the Search for Animal Chin last night for laughs with friends. It's so weird to think that Tony Hawk was so much older than I was when I first saw this.

Indeed they could!

And I agree wholeheartedly. Ethel Barrymore is a joy to watch in this movie. It's really a shame she isn't seen more. I also saw her not to long ago in The Spiral Staircase. Yet another movie where her role was relatively limited, yet she still managed to outshine her co-stars. And I dont' just mean that because the main character that interacted with her was mute, she 's just that good.

John Carpenters:Escape from New York.

I think now I know where Rockstar got their ideas for GTA and Manhunt from!
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

I think the MGS series drew just as much influence from that movie as GTA did.

I agree,slipped my mind!
But yea Liberty City,and the dark setting remind me both of GTA & Manhunt as for the main character MGS all the way.

Sympathy for Mr Vengeance. My favorite Asian revenge flick is still I Saw The Devil but this was pretty good. Very ruthless.

Just finished G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It delivered exactly as I thought it would: Nothing too deep or complicated, but it was an action-packed thrill ride. And in that respect, it was good. And damn was Scarlett and Baroness freaking hot, or what?

I went to the theater today and saw Mission Impossible 4. Not a perfect movie, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I think it was better than the other three movies.
