Wow, what a pair of games. I'll definately agree about the officiating in the UConn-Duke game, just nasty stuff that really disrupted the flow of the game. Aside from that, GT and UConn both pull out great wins in close games. Time for a little bracket patting-on-the-back, I already got the...

Man, that sucks. I've been waiting for him to get back, Stat Boy is just blech. Since I guess he's never coming back, they should have one of the panelists be the moderator each day, that'd be a blast. Lowell

Updated my list with tons of stuff seen over the past month or so: In America (**** / ****) Wonderful, wonderful stuff. A great story with some terrific acting by everyone involved, especially the two Bolger sisters. Open Range (*** / ****) The Italian Job (*** / ****) L'Auberge...

Updated my list with In America at #2. I also bumped Big Fish off the list, and moved M&C up a few spots. Also added a link to my 2003 List. Great job with the top 30 Dana, without it, these lists would get quite dull. :) Lowell

Just figured I'd chime in on this terrific show after Sunday's great episode. It's a shame I've missed a few episodes here and there, Carl Weathers appearance was just classic. I know we're going to be in the minority here, because CYE is such an amazing show, but I'm with Jeremiah in that I'm...

Man, what a weekend full of great playoff games. As a die-hard Pats fan, I still find it incredible that we've won 13 games in a row. I mean 13. Wow. What's even better is I really don't see them losing to either Indy or Philadelphia (who I have beating the Panthers, I know, no respect for...

Updated my list with another batch of absolutely terrific movies: Big Fish (**** / ****) Despite it's flaws, I came away absolutely loving Tim Burton's latest. Just a fantastic film that I can't wait to see a second viewing of. Bend it Like Beckham (***1/2 / ****) Better Luck Tomorrow...

My Top 10 List (Subject to much shuffling and revision): Link to my 2003 Film List: Film List Last Updated: Feb, 11th with In America. 1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2. In America 3. Pirates of The Carribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl 4. The Last Samurai 5. Master...

Finally got around to updating my list with 3 terrific epics: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (**** / ****) The Last Samurai (**** / ****) Cold Mountain (***1/2 / ****) 21 Grams (*** / ****) I can't wait to see Big Fish soon, and I still have some limited releases I'll...

Updated my list with the very good: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (***1/2 / ****) An excellent genre picture, it just sort of flows from scene to scene. Having the restrictions of making a movie in such a confined environment it's really something to have each scene be...

Nice. I really loved this movie in theaters, and it looks like a great little set. I can wait the extra month too. :)

While I haven't really been chipping in on the weekly threads for this show as, IMO, there just aren't that many deep plot points to discuss, it's just a blast to watch. I've still managed to catch every episode so far, and the show definately doesn't disappoint. As an Elmore Leonard fan...

Yow. That is by far one of the coolest trailers I have ever seen. The whole "Something Wicked This Way Comes" choir music was just incredible. Considering how much better the 3rd book was from the first two, and having a new director like Cuaron working on it, had my expections quite high. This...

Updated with the fantastic, American Splendor (***1/2 / ****) Just a hilarious movie. Great acting (Paul Giamatti nailed Harvey Pekar), great script ("this will be as important as the "I have a dream" speech"), and gourmet Jelly Beans! and what you could probably call the "poor Terry...

Yep, "The Little Sister of Eluria." I first read it in Legends which is a compilation of short fantasy stories. Also cool about the new book is where they have the Also by Stephen King section (not sure what they call those :) ), all of the Dark Tower related books are in bold. There are...

Excited? I'm almost done with it. Imagine my suprise when I saw a copy at the library about a week ago. I have about 200 pages left, and man, it's a very, very good book. I'd say it was worth the wait, but I only started reading the series around 2 years ago, so I haven't been waiting that long...

Great trailer. :emoji_thumbsup: Shrek was fantastic, and from the looks of this trailer, it looks like Shrek 2 won't be a disaster, thank god.

In response to pretty much your whole paragraph Ric: I haven't been around since the win! Incredible game last night though...I was ready to go to sleep after about the end of the 3rd, thank god I stuck it out, truly typical Belichick and Brady with the intentional safety (Great call), and...

Well, no better time than the present to chime in on a High School/College thread, I'm taking the SAT I tomorrow morning. :) Then I gotta get prepared for the SAT II Subject tests in a month, then comes applications upon applications, yay! Wish me luck, lol. P.S. Remind me never to take...

Yowza. The Chiefs put on an absolute clinic tonight. They absolutely dominated the game through and through. 7, 7!! takeaways. 6-2 baby! Ugly, ugly football, but the Patriots keep finding ways to win. After that absolute disaster against Buffalo, I don't think anyone could've predicted an...

My picks: Detroit Lions over Chicago Denver Broncos over Baltimore Pittsburgh "Stillers" over St. Louis Seattle Seahawks over Cincinnati Dallas Cowboys over Tampa Bay Tennessee Titans over Jacksonville New England Patriots over Cleveland Carolina Panthers over New Orleans...

Yay Marlins! Man, what a game pitched by Josh Beckett. A good series all around, with a very satisfying outcome. (Check location :) ) Although the World Series was sort of anticlimactic coming after those two incredible Championship Series. Congrats to Jack McKean and the Fish! Lowell

Woop! I'll second that Spirited Away is the best of 2002, but 25th Hour is right up there at 2 or 3. Lowell
