" Five by Five project, recommended by jaytoast March 25th: DVD, computer Overall opinion: Good Full disclosure, I knew the ending of this movie a long time before I saw it. :( I read somewhere recently that spoilers enhances your enjoyment of a movie, and I call bullshit because I still regret not getting the full effect of the movie.
