Hi my favorite movie is LOTR. I also like Pirates of the Caribbean series,Transformers(Michale Bay movie) Battle LA, and Harry Potter. Favorite Actors: Johnny Depp,Vin Diesel,Viggo Mortensen,Orlando Bloom, Sir Ian McKellen and John Rhys-Davies. I play (online) Cod 2,4,6 and 8. Also War Thunder!! If you want to know more about LOTR go to LOTRwiki. And if you want to know more about Pirates of the Caribbean go to Pirates of the Caribbean encyclopedia! Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly it's the honest ones you have to watch out for, you never can predict if they're going to do something incredibly stupid. Captain Jack Sparrow to Barbossa at Isla de Muerta! Please don't do anything stupid :D
