'johnny was' - a MUST see!

This is a MUST for all you On-U Sound lovers out there: the film 'Johnny Was', out on DVD on September 16, with a 39 track reggae soundtrack, compiled by Adrian Sherwood, and with (having had a look at the official trailer below) a lot of his own work.
Here's a synopsis of this 2005 film from Northern Ireland, directed by Mark Hammond and with actors such as Samantha Mumba, Lennox Lewis, Patrick Bergin, Vinnie Jones, Eriq La Salle and The Who singer Roger Daltrey:


'Johnny (Vinnie Jones), trying to escape a violent past, hides out in the world's least-safe safe house, sandwiched between a crime den run by a Jamaican gangster (Eriq LaSalle) and a pirate radio station belonging to a Rasta DJ (Lennox Lewis). When Johnny's former comrade (Patrick Bergin) escapes from prison, Johnny faces being dragged back into violence and away from his new love (Samantha Mumba).
Johnny's actions ignite a simmering war on two fronts with his drug-dealing neighbor and his former boss Jimmy (Roger Daltrey). Johnny faces questions of race, morality, loyalty, and ultimately survival - played out against a great reggae sound track from legendary DJ-producer Adrian Sherwood.'

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
