Hi, KK!

Thanks for accepting my friend request!   Yes, I am a film enthusiast. I like a lot of different types of cinema; but, my favorites are Westerns, Film Noir, Japanese and Hong Kong films.  I've done a bit of acting, as well (nothing of any major importance, really).   Glad to have you here at The Mod Generation!   Looking forward to chatting back and forth here in the future.   Ciao!
