They will also give the first sheet free to preview or print. They have a huge variety of music from vocal to piano and other instremtental pieces ..they go from classical to film and tv etc…I was highly impressed with their LOTR selection and esatatic with “Evenstar” as we speak..This site (as well as yours ;)) is a must for any musical LOTR fan.”

Erin told us about an Interactive Map of New Zealand a la Middle Earth. “I found the site to be very handsome and quite interesting. It is introduced by Karl Urban [Eomer] and is a very nice layout, with lots of interesting tidbits and some very nice movie bits and interactive treats. [More]

We have a report from a fan at the first screening there and it seems to have been well-received. Add that to the news that LOTR was a bestseller for 4 months after FOTR came out, and it seems that Tolkien may be gaining ground in India. [More]

Eto writes, “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” was released in India yesterday (March 28th 2003). It opened in 7 theatres in my city, and that’s a pretty big release. I went for the evening show and the hall was packed to the brim (more than 500 people). Lots and lots of claps and whistles during Legolas’s mounting of the horse, his slide on the shield, Eomer’s arrival at Helms Deep, the charge of the Ents, and of course Gollum was the favorite. The last hour of the movie was full of claps, whistles and cries. IMO, a much better response than FoTR. May be because of all the action, the war and … Gollum.”
