hmmm... so has anybody seen any of them?  which one might
be a more accurate representation of the book?

oh.  hmmm, then maybe it'll suck really bad.  or be too
"action packed" for its own good.  Coyote Ugly was horrid.
i haven't seen 60 Seconds, but people i know said it was a 
waste.  Armageddon was alright (B-), IMO.  Con Air was a 
decent movie (B/B+).  it had it's moments- but having John
Cusack, John Malkovich, Nicholas Cage, and Steve Buscemi-
it had better at least have it's moments.  the ending was
as silly as anything, though.
