Born Yesterday, Rashomon (amazing 50's Kurosawa film), all tim burton films ie; nightmare before xmas, Big Fish, Edward Scissor Hands, Singles etc... (but i didn't like Planet of the Apes)... the great dictator (briliant chaplin film), The Big Labowski, Sex and Lucia, The Rear Window and most hitchcock films, most woody allen films, and any Audrey Tautou or Audrey Hepburn film cause they're so damn cute. Maria Full of Grace, Malna and just about anything with Monica Belucci. SYRIANA WHICH IS BASED ON THE BOOK I READ (BELOW) SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. ALSO DOMINO (KEIRA KNIGHTLY IS SO HOT!

Who I'd like to meet: If you're a sweet human being, I want to meet you...
I don't add people just for the sake of having a large list of unknown faces. If you're cool and we know each other outside of this addolecent playroom we call myspace, then I will consider adding you. ; ) If you're in a band, or you're some mail order chick from Russia...haha...then you can add me at my business page, myspace.com/bandpromote
too busy to check your precious myspace page. oh well, understandable for those 'movers and shakers' in LA. maybe one day you'll decide to drive up and we'll go to holden's for real this time.
