Letters & notes 
Primal Fear is excellent, as is Rain Man. I fear I may have misspelled your name, replying to a comment on my blog–if so, my sincere apologies. Is it Gretal or Gretyl?

Not to worry, it’s Gretl but its just a pen name thing to keep me hidden away 🙂 Gretyl is actually quite cool as well now that you mention it haha. Ed Norton is great, he is one of my favourite actors. Rain man is amazing, I only recently watched the Leaving Las Vegas movie, thought it was really good. I’m going to add many more movies as well, if you have any good suggestions feel free to chip in.

Have you see “Minus Man”–excellent for subtle “spookery”! I also recommend “Passion Fish” and “Magic of Belle Isle”.
