    What an amazing actor! He did a great job in the second Tomb Raider, but my favorite movie with Gerard in it was defenitly Phantom. The first time that I saw it I was totaly blown away. (Before Phantom I had never heard of Gerard before) I think he did a great job in Phantom though, because he has an AMAZING voice, and he is incredibly seductive in that movie......

    On Sept 30th, I was very fortunate to go see a sneak showing of Rocknrolla in Hollywood. You guys have to go see this movie it's GREAT. Not to mention that Gerry!! Had a blast at the sneak preview, not only did I get to see the movie before it was released, but they had food, soft drinks, candy, popcorn & an open bar all for free. All this was before the movie even started, we watched the movie, actor Idris Alba (Mumbles Rocknrolla character) took questions from the audience & then there was an after party I don't know who paid for all this, but I'm guessing it might of been NIKE or Guy Ritchie, who ever it was THANK YOU!!!!!!
