There's something google can't do / Moviejournal: a good year

Contrary to popular belief, diversified Google is actually suck at something. Exhibit 1: GooTube. google video is an excellent idea, but the dull interface failed to attract much attention. YouTube, a teen website aimed at ppl who say "and stuff" a lot, is yet to mix in to the big picture google want to paint. Exhibit 2: desktop search. google desktop is a novel idea, but it just sucks. it never finds all the stuff i want to locate, especially the PDF files, and now for icing on the cake, it crashes IE7 when running, great. if this is the first sign of mass exodus to MSN based services, so be it. i'm trialing MSN desktop search and it looks promising.

a good year is about a mid-age england investment banker (russel crowe) who rediscovers his youth in an inherited chateau. I can't help wonder how good the original book will be, the film appears to be merely skimming the surface of the enourmous emotional depth conveivable in the novel. However decent acting all round and it deserves its share of accolades. i do think they should pick a thinner man to play the role of mark skinner though. the image of gladiator sticks with our mr. crowe for life. also lovel french music.
