Excellent flick, 15 July 2002
Author: AlexMD87 (AlexMD87@netscape.net) from New Jersey

Excellent story, excellent interpretation of the story and an excellent choice for narrator...who doesn't love Kevin Spacey?!?!?! (We can all excuse him for the horror that was American Beauty) Anyway--bottom line...see this movie it's excellent. ;)
