what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
This list continues from part 4. Gary Oldman Oldman really disappears into his characters. The one time where I felt his character didn’t work well was Zorg in The Fifth Element.

This list continues from part 3. George Clooney Clooney was one of the initial stars of ER and then took off to make movies.

It seems he retired after the public didn’t care for his last one or two movies. Masterpiece Life is Beautiful Great […]

{4.5/5} “Following a dream I had three years ago, I have become deeply moved by the plight of the Tibetan people, and have been filled with a desire to help them.
