RE: RE:
I don't get it...why is this in "Future Films"? Wasn't this made in 1986? The probability that Penn and Madonna will work together again is about as high as seeing John Landis and Vic Morrow working together again. Was this supposed to be in "Film Reviews"?  More Posted by Peter A. Quinn at 02:51, 01 July 2006 | Report This Post
