In RANSOM the wife is never in any danger, but the kid is. Another awesome movie.<br /><br />O love the history channel, and Discovery. Two of my favorites are Life After People and Myth Busters. Ancient Discoveries has given me an idea or two on story background too. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself with us Matt.<br /><br />........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927870683677181756.post-8500299773391727422010-02-19T19:44:27.922-05:002010-02-19T19:44:27.922-05:00"Have you noticed that, in many movies where ...<i>"Have you noticed that, in many movies where Mel Gibson is the lead, his character's wife is either already dead or dies in the course of the film?"</i><br /><br />That's because she's <a href="http://www.sfnovelists.com/2009/11/16/a-womans-place-is-not-in-the-refrigerator/" rel="nofollow">the woman in the refrigerator</a>. Read that link.
