Huge fan of The Legend of Zelda series. I played the series up until Ocarina of Time , which may be the greatest video game ever made. I remember when I first stepped foot onto Hyrule Field, I was blown away. I don't think that I'd ever witnessed that kind of epic feel in a video game before. I hav...

Golf great Byron Nelson dead at 94 By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer September 26, 2006 IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Byron Nelson's graceful swing and gentle manner earned him the nickname "Lord Byron," a tribute to the courtly Texan whose kind, caring style with fans and competitors made him one ...

You know, I think that the reason that so many Christian-themed movies has flopped has less to do with the subject matter, but more to do with the production value. My dad dragged me and my mom to see "The Gospel of John" a couple of years ago, and it was one of the most boring and painfu...

Son completes unfinished Tolkien An unfinished book by JRR Tolkien has been edited into a completed work by his son for publication next year. Christopher Tolkien has spent 30 years working on "The Children of Hurin," which "The Lord of the Rings" author started in 1918 and late...

Criddic, just because someone's not a right-leaning Republican doesn't mean that they're not good a politician (far from it, actually). I'm a Republican (sort of), but I'm also a Texan. And take my word for it: Ann Richards, while Democrat, is probably one of the most beloved figures in Texas polit...

Wow, have I been out of the loop or what? I live in Texas and I just heard about this today. Still, I haven't been watching the local news or reading the local papers anyway, so... I was too young to remember Ann Richards's legacy (I was 8 when she got elected), but I know that she's one of the mos...

The fact that "The Breakfast Club" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" are listed ahead of classics such as "Rebel Without a Cause," "The Last Picture Show," and "American Graffiti" makes this list automatically devoid of credibility. Also, only an i...

I wonder if this means that he's not going to direct "The Hobbit." Peter Jackson to Adapt Temeraire Peter Jackson is eyeing his next fantasy series, optioning "Temeraire." The historical fantasy series ("His Majesty's Dragon," "Throne of Jade" and "Black...

Breaking News: MGM to do 'The Hobbit' Monday, 11 September 2006, 10:16 am In a Variety article talking about MGM's move back into the tentpole business, the trade mentions a few highly-anticipated projects that are in the works: 'Over the next few years, MGM is planning to release half a dozen film...

I saw Saw on Showtime the other night, and I was actually surprised. It wasn't what I was expecting. I don't know who the director is, but he managed to keep the tension heightened right up until the very end. I wouldn't call it a "gore-fest", though. Actually, there was very little on-sc...

Pirates Hits the $1 Billion Mark Walt Disney Pictures' Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest should join Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Thursday as the only movies ever released to top $1 billion in worldwide grosses. The "Pirates" sequel has been out of th...

I have no idea what Live Free is, so I abstained from a guess. Who else wants to speculate? I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that "Live Free or Die Hard" is the fourth "Die Hard" movie. I don't know, though, because I never heard that they were making another "Die Hard"...
