Hey Amergin, you must be the only other person in the universe to have watched Matewan apart from me. I have never met anyone who knows of the movie. Might be because we are in NZ, but I really liked the movie,in fact have rented it a couple of times. If it's any consolation, we have had the WTC disaster one channel or another 24hrs a day. In spite of the tragedy I can't help feeling some news reports are verging on voyerism. Cheers.
