movie I like that came out about the same time as Lassiter (a great movie!) and Runaway (a pretty good movie, written by Michael Creighton), called High Road to China. \u00a0It didn&#8217;t get a lot of acclaim, though I think the story is really well done. \u00a0I think a lot of people didn&#8217;t buy Bess Armstrong, but I thought she was fine. \u00a0Anyway, <a

four figures based on the characters in this movie. \u00a0I managed to get them painted yesterday at 0400 before heading to NJ Con with Eric.<\/p>\n<p><a
