Of all the films I saw I was most impressed with the second installment of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. Typically you would think that a young lady such as myself would be awestruck by the lovey-dovey chick flicks like Maid in Manhattan or Two Weeks Notice or even one of the flicks with Leonardo DiCaprio. Not so. I fell in love with The Fellowship of the Ring, and not just because of Orlando Bloom (Legolas), but because of the excellent portrayal of J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece. Such can still apply to The Two Towers. Not falling victim to the fate of most sequels (think Grease 2... yikes!), Two Towers in some aspects was better than the first. With more action and Ores than Fellowship, this 3- hour-long movie moves swiftly, keeping the audience enthralled. Here's a tip: buy a small soda and use the bathroom before the film begins because you won't want to leave in the middle. The final battle sequence ranks up there with great battles such as the beginning of Saving Private Ryan (let's face it, none of us blinked during that scene). The action is so intense you will want to shout at the screen as if you are yelling at players on a football team Moviegoers are also kept captivated by the introduction of new characters such as Treebeard the Tree herder, Theoden King of Rohan, and Eowyn the Shield Maiden of Rohan, amongst others. Given a much more important role than he had in the first, the creature Gollum returns, not as Frodo's shadow, but as his guide. Gollum provides just the right amount of comic relief, as does Gimli the dwarf, at just the right moments in the film. With friendship and loyalty, good and evil, the right amount of comedy and romance (yes guys, Liv Tyler is back) and a battle that will make you proud to be part of the race of men, I highly recomend seeing this film!! SEE DEEZ MUSIC REVIEWS REVIEWEd By ARTIST/GRoup AibtiM TITIE MOOSE KNUCkIE DOES THIS Look INFECTEd? With their follow-up to "All Killer No Filler," Sum 41 pro duces another top selling album entitled "Does This Look Infected?" Some say the Canadian band is just another "Pop punk" group fabricated by record CEO's, but this album clearly displays otherwise. From the get go I found myself nodding my head to the complex beats hit by Steve-O. The guitar riffs give the listener a taste of the heavy metal days with hints of Metallica in some of the tracks. A personal favorite on this album is track number eight entitled "Mr. Amsterdam." It is one of those songs that you listen to to get the adrenaline pumping. This album is for any person that likes a lot of fast paced songs with incredible guitar riffs and a bunch of screaming melodies. Sure that may sound displeasing but I guarantee Sum 41 definitely shows their talent on this record.
