Im just giving you guys in americano land a heads up on two great british movies heading your way soon.1. layer cakeThis is the best ganster movie ive seen since the untouchables, A fairly unknown cast but done by the peolple that did lock stock and snatch but this is better than both of those. Less humour but far slicker and cinematic. Think Micheal Mann (heat) crossed with Brain de Palma.Hope I didn't build it up too much, but it is good.And not sure if this has been out already over there, but2. sean of the deadA rom. zom. com. This is british humour at its best. A spoof of george romaro's zombie films ie dawn of the dead etc. I've never seen anything like it before.Give me some feedback if and when you go catch them, I don't thik you'll be disappointed.

you need to see Mean Machine too. Guy Ritchie's take on the Longest Yard, and I really love it
