News -- Another good review of The Two Towers in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/18/movies/18LORD.html?8iwem) and by Roger Ebert ( http://www.suntimes.com/output/ebert1/cst-ftr-lord18f.html )



Comment -- Ebert says "The Two Towers is one of the most spectacular swashbucklers ever made, and, given current audience tastes in violence, may well be more popular than the first installment, "The Fellowship of the Ring." It is not faithful to the spirit of Tolkien and misplaces much of the charm and whimsy of the books, but it stands on its own as a visionary thriller."



Ebert gripes that the gentle Hobbits are pushed to the background in this movie. But I have a hunch that they'll be back and everything will come together next year in the final installement.



News -- The Big Cartoon Database lets you look up information about your favorite cartoons: http://www.bcdb.com/



Comment -- Get an episode list along with program information including the crew, episode synopsis, year it was made, and ratings as voted by viewers. If you can't remember the name of a program, search by year, studio, crew, and character names.



For example, I was able to look up information about my favorite cartoon, Home Movies.
