Hi Grogg

I've watched the Professor and the madman four times and that's really great and interesting it also inspired me to have a presentation about it while I were at school

The sun is also a star was a great movie I watched a few months ago as well as reading the book which was great

And thanks for your recommendation I'll watch it for sure as I love movies that they are based on a true story

Have a very nice night
