World of Warcraft (2005 Video Game)
10/10
The most AMAZING Online Computer Game ever Created
1 October 2005
Only Two words sum up World Of Warcraft, Sheer Brilliance. This is unlike any game you will ever play. You will be hooked as soon as you start to play as this game is SO darn addictive !! World of Warcraft is a massively multi-player online game that enables thousands of players to come together online and battle against the world and each other. Players from across the globe can leave the real world behind and undertake grand quests and heroic exploits in a land of fantastic adventure. At long last, the world of Azeroth, first glimpsed in Warcraft 1 and further enhanced in subsequent strategy games, is realised in glorious detail and ready for the arrival of millions of prospective players. World of warcraft is 20 times better than all current MMORPG's, simply because it is 20 times more FUN.There are a few reasons why WOW is ten times MORE FUN than other MMORPG's. Attack cities and kill its leader with 39 other people. Lots of PvP, Lots of fun. Warsong gulch is like capture the flag in Quake except its an RPG game instead of a First Person Shooter. Endless hours of fun there. The Battlegound Alterac valley. 40 vs 40 PvP-zone that is huge and even has PvP-quests in it. Hours of FUN. A huge pvp arena where fighting is too the death. A chest is dropped in an arena every 3 hours and opening it is interesting as pvp is free for all in there and everyone wants to open it and will do everything they can to stop you. MORE FUN. Instance Dungeons for level 60's like Stratholme, Scholomance, Black rock depths, Lower blackrock spire, upper blackrock spire. Dire maul north, dire maul west, dire maul east, Molten Core, Blackwing lair and so on and so on. Plus all the high level elite bosses roaming around the world that takes 30-40 people some effort to take down. More instances and brand new content added EVERY month in new patches (this is the reason why we pay our monthly fee, and we are well rewarded). A talent system that enables you to define you character from everyone else and also an Ability to redo your talents whenever you want which lets me do what I want when I want and the way I like it. OK this game does have it's downside's. Don't all games? The main problem with this game is the company that created it. Servers go offline with no warning, some servers can have bad lag at peak times, and most of the servers are full with queue times when you first log in. The customer service from Blizzard Entertainment is Auful, but it is getting better as time goes on. Also, a lot of younger players play this game and some more mature people will find this difficult, as playing with 12 year old children that spam the chat channels is not their idea of an Online game. If this does not appeal to you, play Everquest 2 instead. As a final word, World of Warcraft is the best Computer game available for the PC to date, and seeing its huge amount off success across the world, will be for a long time.

You will never look at Rabbits the same way again!
28 October 2003
When I first saw this movie, I was five years old. I remember the impact it had on me when I was a child. It frightened me to death. Blood on the fields, rabbits caught in snares bleeding from the mouth, dogs ripping rabbits to pieces and men shooting rabbits with guns where some of the scenes that frightened me. Please don't let these comments put you or your children off watching it! These scenes are important in the movie as they where in the novel. The movie has a sort of political side to it. Rabbits fighting for their freedom and for a safe place to live. The story is about a group of a rabbits who are forced to flee their warren because man has decided to build houses on it. A small rabbit called Fiver has a premonition that something bad is going to happen and he, with a few friends set off on a long journey to find a new home. This movie is very dark, yet very entertaining. The animation can be poor at times, especially if you are watching it on DVD but remember that it was made in the 70's with basic pencil and paper. This is what makes this movie a classic to watch. My opinion is read the book then watch the movie as the movie contains dialogue that you wont understand (rabbit talk) and reading the book explains it all.

A good story spoiled by poor animation
27 October 2003
Being a fan of the Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing game "Anarchy online", I decided to download this animated series. It runs concurrently with the game, elaborating on the story and providing a context for the events that happen with the war on Rubi-ka between the Omni-tek corporation and the Clans. We are introduced to Philip Ross and Henry Radiman, the leaders of the two sides at war. The story is good and the acting of the characters is also good. What spoils this series is the poor quality of the animation. As it is only a first series, I look forward to Funcom creating a second series with better quality animation. I recommend you watch this series if you play Anarchy online as it gives you a background of the story and politics of Rubi-ka.

Linda (1993 TV Movie)
6/10
A Scheming Adulteress of a movie
9 December 2002
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I watched this movie on TV last night and it wasn't really that bad. It stars Richard Thomas who played 'John Boy' Walton in 'The Waltons' TV Series (Way before I was born) but you can tell he is showing his age! The first 40 minutes of this film where boring but after that it started to get entertaining and had me gripped towards the end to find out what happened. I didn't know that it was based on a true story until the end. When I read the end credits it horrified me to see that both of the killers in the film had been executed. Only one person really did the killing while the other helped plan it. I personally don't believe in Capital Punishment. The scene when he escaped from the jail was a bit unrealistic but apart from that, this film will keep you entertained.
