It received widespread acclaim and a whopping ...
Wow, what a fascinating person. This is the first I've heard of him and his many achievements.
I can relate to it particularly, as most of my private duty patients are on some type of continuous mechanical ventilation and often want to stick w...

I agree. Billy Elliot was a great movie. He's had a relatively decent career as an adult. Somewhere in this thread I reviewed "Surrounded" a Western in which he plays an American and he did a good job.
