Hey, I don't have all the answers in life. To be honest, I've failed as much as I've succeeded, but I love my wife, I love my life, and I wish you my kind of success.

hands down without a doubt my favorite movie is A Few Good Men...
FCP Army Girls Stick Together!!

And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss;
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

What a great list!What!? I didn't edit it! :D I aggree about Quentin Tarantino...except that dumb vampire movie he did. Kill Bill was awesome, though...and resevior dogs...and pulp fiction...Saving Priavte Ryan would have to be #1. Without a doubt. All the actors did perfect, the story was great, the directing was wonderful...and to top it off, it's the only move that almost made me cry.

City of god was really moving. I enjoyed it, although I had to read subtitles for 3 hours. It was good enough for me to not care.

Boondock Saints is the worst movie ever. I am sorry, but so many people like that movie, and I can't understand why. Bloody action, not that great...But most importantly, the story line is retarted. Let's just go around and kill a bunch of people in the name of our religion because they are considered "evil." Wow, that sounds a lot like something our country is in the midst of right now with a different religion.........
