I have been watching movies but didn't get around to posting my reviews so here they are:
The Winslow Boy is a 1999 drama that puts the viewer in the early 20th century. A young boy is expelled from a military academy after being found guilty of theft. His family, specially his father will go to great lengths to prove his innocence. So much so, that it threatens to financially and emotionally ruin them. A hotshot politician helps the family while apparently gaining some exposure to keep his career going forward and upwards. A tale of family love, loyalty, sacrifice, determination and courage. A great film overall. I highly recommend this movie (based on actual events).
King Arthur is a 2004 movie with plenty of action. Don't expect the classic (and quite repeated) tale of the Knights in shining armor, Camelot and magic. No, this is a movie about what inspired (well the movie makes that claim) the tale of King Arthur and his knights. The story and acting is good, the visuals are great (specially when a battle takes place over frozen water) and altogether makes a great film to watch. I recommend this movie.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a 2005 movie which is a mix of horror, thriller and drama. The priest who tried to save Emily Rose through an exorcism is accused of murder by a shrewd prosecutor. The priest's defense attorney who has little faith in the spiritual finds herself caught in supernatural events. As the trial moves on, witnesses tell the story of Emily, her change and how demons possessed her. This film is not as scary as the usual horror movie, but it more than makes up for it in it's dramatic delivery. I recommend this movie.
Enduring Love is a 2004 drama about how a loving couple's life is drastically changed after a balloon accident during their picnic. A mysterious man's obsession (one of the men at the accident) will affect their relationship in unexpected ways. The incident will bring one of the lovers to the brink of self destruction. This film is a great drama, I highly recommend it.
Celtic Woman is a 2005 DVD of a concert of six Irish females singing old Celtic songs and modern songs. Let me tell you that it was like listening to angels sing. It was a beautiful concert and it was a pleasure to watch. I was laying on my bed with the laptop watching it and at the end I was falling asleep. If you are musically inclined, I believe you'll enjoy this DVD, I highly recommend it.
And now a first for me. Videos!
This was my test of the camera after I realized it was capable of recording video. It's 5.4MB.
The second one is a tour of my place. It's 63MB.
I went to DD tonight, and made my third video. It's 24MB.
That's all for today, have a great weekend guys!

Its great to see your spirits are up. Let your Landlady and roommate know they do keep a nice looking house. It does look like what you would see in an add of a decoration magazine.
You shouldnt need much to run LotRO
I run it with a old Gateway laydown system, P4 1.5Ghz, 128 Geforce FX 5200 and 768 SRAM. I still run the game off the beta so I cant run with the raids or go into the Moors when more then 10 people are in the area without lagging. But I can do all other PvE with bearable lag.
I can probably build a new desktop, but my priority is getting a scooter right now.
