Mayka,

The title of the movie I've made reference to in several recent emails is FIGHT 
CLUB.  It stars Ed Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bohnam Carter.

I consider it one of the best movies I've seen in the last 5 years or so, but 
it's not for everybody.  It has graphic violence.  It also has very dark, 
satirical humor so it might be hard for a non-native English-speaker to 
understand.

...Bill!
