if you are looking for a good docu on 9-11 I would recommend 'A film makers documentary on 9/11". It is one of the best, if not the best I have seen on 9/11

I rented some recently - "Children Underground" (follows the lives of orphans who live in Romania surviving by themselves), "Super size me" - about McDonalds (contains an interesting time study on the french fries), "The Staircase" (trial about a man accused of murdering his wife and ex-wife), and "Boys of Baraka" (takes inner city kids and ships them over to Africa to learn...very interesting)
There are many more, but these are the ones that stand out to me as memorable...

Hey,
You can download Scrabble for free here: http://j.mp/1oh7QOm
In this board game, there are some rules to follow. At first, you have your own set of tiles, and you must create your own words to play in order for you to have your score.
It's the best game.

Hey there,
Are you wondering how to downoad for free Scrabble? You can get it for free here: http://j.mp/1oh83RJ
I was fond of playing scrabble when I was young. I use to visit my neighbor since they own the board game. We would compete and try to outwit each other to win the game. Scrabble helps us to enrich our vocabulary and keeps us entertained at the same time.
It's the best game of its category.

''the end of suburbia'' have to rent or buy it
''the diamond life'' you can watch it free online at www.guerrillanews.com
''america, freedom to fascism'' you can watch it free online at google video

THAT ONE ABOUT 9-11. THE GUY WHO DID COLUMBINE DID THIS ONE TOO. IT IS A REAL EYE OPENER.
