A longtime fixture on the Los Angeles journalism scene, he is best known for his years with The Hollywood Reporter. on TV Here it is, the worst movie of the year. Oh sure, it's only February, but I have full confidence that "Hijacked: Flight 285" will stand the test of time to scrape the very bottom of the 1996 barrel. Unfathomably dreadful, it stars onetime Brat Packers Anthony Michael Hall Mike Hall (born 13 October, 1965 in Bridgend), is a former Welsh rugby international, now property developer and part time rugby pundit.
