Brad, Have you seen, "There Will Be Blood" yet? Amazing and soooooo disturbing! The last thirty minutes are so f*cked up. All I gotta say is, "I drink your milkshake!" Daniel Day-Lewis is insane! Justin
Brad, man, got some films for you. Namely: The Aura (2005)-directed by Argentine director Fabian Belinsky...just an amazing film. The Pusher Trilogy: Pusher (1996) Pusher II-With Blood On My Hands(2004) Pusher III-I'm The Angel of Death(2005) The Pusher trilogy is about the drug underworld in Copenhagen. Incredible stuff! Made by Danish director Nicolas Windig Refn. Eagle vs Shark (2007) A romantic British comedy. Hilarious! And really, for me one of the greatest romances ever on film! Loved it! Anyway, maybe you've seen 'em, maybe you haven't. If not, check 'em out, all are on dvd now, and lemme know what you think! Later, Justin
bbbbbbbrad! i wanna see you again! i am going to mercy tonight to see Lord T and Eloise! you should totally come! they always have lots of cheeeeeeeeeease and peeeeeeas!
