    bbthornton and the rock... thats a shame.
    i say this because the rock only makes awful piece of sh*t movies.
    the last thing he was in that i enjoyed was southland tales, and he was the worst part of that movie, it would have been much better with someone else playing his part.
    he is just awful.
