“Do what scares you”

In Pamplona with two friends (Timm Sharp and Ruthanna Hopper), Chris meets an Australian thrill-seeker (Phil Barantini), a quintessential Spanish beauty (Varela) and an enigmatic provocateur (Dennis Hopper), all of whom encourage him to rethink his life.

My Complete Collection... of Movies!

I am a completionist, and these are all the movies, good or bad, in my collection. Most of them are good old dvds, but the blurays are slowly gaining momentum. Also, I am happy to say that at the moment, the good movies are far superior to the bad ones.
