I think Deep Rising may be one of the few movies Cliff Curtis has made in which he's played his own nationality/accent. That dude has played all over the world, and I think in several languages.
Deep Blue Sea wins points for putting lithe young things in wetsuits, but loses points for being as silly a movie about
genius malevolent sharks
as one could hope to avoid.
Is it just me, or are former child actors much more likely to be successful adult actors now than, say, 20 years ago? It's very strange, that the "my age" actors from when I was an adolescent are still acting and still my age.

How old are you? Would you say that Jodie Foster is too young and too old to be on either side of your divide? I can't remember who was a former child actor 20 years ago -- because I was young myself, and hadn't been paying attention.

Admittedly, for me it's 30 years ago. But successful child actors of my childhood who are still in the public eye --
Jodie Foster (thanks, ita!)
Brooke Shields
Rick(y) Schroeder (although he disappeared for many years)
Danny Bonaduce (ok, more a celebrity than an actor these days)
Movie about time travel that hasn't been mentioned:
Frequency.
It's a decent movie, though I was going to shoot myself if I had to watch that thing drop behind the radiator or whatever in slow-motion one. More. Time.
Awesome computer game with time travel fun:
Day of the Tentacle.
Mickey Rooney
Judy Garland
Elizabeth Taylor
Tom said what I was about to, but I add Jackie Cooper.
It's probably too soon to really say if he's making a comeback, but Macaulay Culkin, Former Annoying Child Star, impressed me in Saved.
Don't call it a comeback. He been here for years.
Mickey Rooney was a child once? Duuuude.
Diane Lane and Anthony Michael Hall come to mind from my age bracket, although they were more teenager-to-adult than child-adult transitions.
ETA: I take it back about Mickey Rooney. I was thinking of Mickey Rourke, who's an entirely different kettle of fish.
