I'm in like Tim Pynn.

A little unrealistic, but still fun to watch. Ah that takes me back to seeing Godfather III in high school. Unfortunately I was unable to buy into the premise that Andy Garcia could bed Bridget Fonda 15 minutes into the movie but would ultimately fall in love with his ugly cousin instead. Drat.

I thought it was great, though Jack phoned in his performance. I liked "Gangs of New York" better.

The New York Future Stars web site lists Owen as one of their "5 Mets Prospects Under the Radar to Watch." #2) Dylan Owen: Another selection from this past year's draft, Dylan Owen was the Division II pitcher of the year, as well as the Ace of the Brooklyn Cyclones' staff this year. His numbers at Low-A were excellent: 9-1, 1.49; 51 hits, 12 walks, and 69 K's in 72.1 IP [this after pitching 102 IP prior to the draft]. Of course, pitcher-friendly Brooklyn is a long ways away from Shea, but Owen has a deep repertoire of pitches which figure to improve as he contines his ascension in the system. His fastball is generally low 90's [although one chatter at BA said it was high-80s], and his slider is his most advanced pitch with good break and control. Additionally, Baseball America lists Owen as having the best control of any pitcher on the farm. He needs several years in the minors according to Scout.com, to gain better command of his fastball, and to dial his changeup back as he throws it too fast to successfully disrupt timing. But, Owen's promising debut and arsenal puts his ceiling as a better-than-average major leaguer starter, in the low 2/high 3 spectrum of a rotation.

I like a guy with two last names. Plus how can you think of "Owen" and not recall the great Anne Ramsey in "Throw Momma from the Train"? Baseball America today issued their 2007 National League Draft Report Card (subscriber only), with evaluations of each team�s crop from June�s Amateur Player Draft. Among other categories, they rank: best pro debut, athlete, hitter, fastball and as well as closest to the major leagues. BA gives specific attention to Dylan Owen, a 21-year old right hander drafted in the 20th round out of Francis Marion University; he was 9-1 with a 1.49 ERA in 14 games (13 starts) for the Brooklyn Cyclones, walking 12 and fanning 69 in 72.1 innings.

Yeah there are a lot of older movies on that list to be sure. What jumped to my mind was the end of "The Usual Suspects"... Kevin Spacey in particular as he's out on the street.
