with this move! This was by far one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen, I can hear the music in my head as I think about it!

In all honesty, they could put him back in jail!!!!!

Personally, I think he's nuts to go back. A little unrelated but I think his dad worked for US Airways - does anyone know for sure ?

I hate turkey. I ate a turkey sandwich last night and it gave me the worst diahrea ever. Last year I ate turkey and potatoes for christams, and woke up to salmonella instead of christmas gifts. Turkey sucks!

He's stupid if he goes back, you can't trust the Turks there.
They say one thing and do another.

Good Luck Billy

Turks might be rough and tough, but they got to much pride to lie. They'll all have a laugh together over a turkish coffee. Mmmm, Good!

I happen to know Billy Hayes from many years ago...what he did was wrong and he got caught..Remember, sensationilism sells which is why the movie did so well and the movie producers apologized for how they showed everything which was very exagerated..As he said, Turks are very loving people, he just didn't like the prison. I've been to Turkey and can vouch for what he said about the people and to let you know, it is not a third world country but one of the best countries for vacationing

Drug smuggler as hero? Anyone seen the damage illegal drugs can do? Give me a break. I hope the Turks make him finish out his sentence. Newsday needs to rethink their giudelines for what is news and be aware of the effect that publicity has on a situation. This is irresponsible media.

I had the same question. Did he puch him against the wall causing the peg to lodge in the back of his head? You gotta admit, that was a great scene.

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Aries

The behaviour of somebody around you (most probably your partner or family member) may be rather irrational today. Alternatively, a surprise involving one of these people is possible. Try to keep your domestic plans reasonably flexible to cover all possible outcomes. The focus is on improving your relationship with your partner or with friends today. Any outings should go very smoothly.
