Hi Samantha, Thanks for the enlightened narrative of Classical Greek mythology! Brad Pitt definitely lacks depth as an actor. He's not convincing; he doesn't become the character; instead, you see Brad Pitt in costume on a set. I think he's only good for stiff/quarky roles like the ones in read more...

If you're focusing on pure code editors, two of the most popular are BBEdit for Mac's and UltraEdit for PC's. I've used both and they're great; but they're not free.

Good review! I totally understand how remakes can let you down when expectations have been set so high by the original. If you saw the Ring first and then Ringu, you wouldn't be as critical. Overall, I would recommend The Ring; but if I had a choice, I'd see Ringu. It's like a choice betwe read more...

Kill Bill I & II is primarily targeting fans of Spaghetti Westerns and Classic King Fu Movies. I liked the movie not for the plot, but for the allusions to subjects that I've seen and enjoyed during my childhood.

Some additional criterion for Web usefulness would be: 1) Handling and saving different file formats, e.g. ASCII or Unix file endings. 2) Ability to change line endings with and without line breaks. To date, Archnophilia is the best editor I've used. And get this, it's free! Archnophilia read more...
