Question by player ponycargirl

Answer: Sylvester Stallone

Stallone's comeback in 'Rocky Balboa' came as a surprise to many, given Stallone's previous 'Rocky' franchise movie entries had, in the eyes of many, exhausted all possible plotlines and themes, and the fact that Stallone had apparently retired the character after 1990's 'Rocky V'.

Question by player pointluck

Answer: Dennis Quaid

He has quite an impressive mixture of genres in his portfolio, ranging from the romantic 'The Big Easy', to horror, 'Jaws 3-D', to comedy,' Innerspace', and even a biopic, 'Great Balls of Fire' the story of the life of Jerry Lee Lewis.

Gary Busey, another Texan, has an equally stellar career list, with over 150 movies to his credit. Brad Pitt does not really need any introduction, but was not born in Texas- he is from Oklahoma. The very multi-talented Clint Eastwood is a Californian.


Question by player ozzz2002

Answer: Ping Pong

This was his third, and final, trip to the White House. It was in 1972, and at the time, Forrest had reservations to stay at the Hotel Ebbott. President Nixon would have nothing of that and preceded to get Forrest to a much nicer hotel, The Watergate. I could imagine him doing well in gymnastics but he never met a president for that sport. You would think he would do a marathon because in the movie he ran across America more than twice.

But still, even though he ran for over three years straight, he never met a president because of that activity.

He did meet John F. Kennedy at the White House due to making the All-American Football team, but the question specifically is about President Richard Nixon.

Question by player undudelike

Answer: About a Boy

The movie stars Hugh Grant as Will, a somewhat stereotypical single guy who stumbles upon Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) the boy struggling with typical trials of coming of age and a far from perfect home life. Toni Collette also stars in a key role as Will's single mother. I am not a Hugh Grant fan in particular but I thought this one was decent.
