yeah , i think the movie you saw was the Clint Eastwood one. Invictus stared Matt Damon.
It was about the world cup final, told from the South Africian viewpoint.
New Zealand say they where poisioned before the final,this was not mentioned in the movie
as it was about Nelson Mandela & South Africian rugby.
interesting to see so many NZ players throwing up on the field.

I guess i`m not the only one who has paid for the same recording many times over.
I`ve got Beatles songs in vinyl, tape,cd, & now mp3, not bad for the hard done by record companies.

gidday.
I see the recording industry is complaining again about free downloaded music,they say they are being ripped off.
There are many artists from the 50`s & 60`s that would say the same happened to them(getting ripped off by the record co`s )
funny, what comes round go`s round
