Looking inside the Sauron Project
Most fantasy movie villains turn out badly. As a literary villain Sauron is unusual but successful. So what will it take to bring him to life in Peter Jackson's three LOTR movies, and to make him convincing as a strong, powerful, and terrifying villain?

All Hallow's Eve
Remember your first All Hallow's Eve -- Halloween? Remember your second or third? Like it or not, Halloween has brought a great deal of joy to children down through the years.
