I don't necessarily dislike the fact that PJ expanded the Hobbit to encompass a larger story. Sure I would have liked to see a simple Hobbit story, but I don't think it would have played as well coming on the heels of LOTR. If the Hobbit were made first, then I think the movie could have been made s...

But I’ve got one personal thing that I love that I wish was in there and you’ll see it, it’s a little thing between Bilbo and Elrond. It’s probably, within the context of the greater whole, the six films; it’s going to work really beautifully when you see Bilbo in Rivendell in Lord of the Rings. So...

Which begs the question of why it is there in the first place if there wasn't any reference to it. Surely there has to be a better way of distinguishing between dwarfs than embedding an ax in a skull. I just don't get it. I'll be doing the HFR viewing sometime next week probably. I'm glad I saw them...

My Mom, who has never read the book and is completely unfamiliar with the story, had no problem figuring out that they were all dwarves. Your mom is a pretty smart lady. :) And I wasn't trying to say it was impossible to parse it out; I was saying that there was a really wide disparity in the way t...

I don't think anyone's posted this review from The Economist yet... “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy was close to perfect, and it has the Oscars and diehard fans to prove it. In “The Hobbit” Mr Jackson seems to have let his love for the material blind him to the merits of a simpler story. The result...

We just saw it again for the 2nd time. This time in 3D, but not HFR. There were two screens showing it in 2D and two screens showing it in 3D (none with HFR). It was 4 o'clock on a rainy Sunday afternoon and there were 17 people in the theater. Pretty much the same amount as the noon showing yesterd...

Whereas I hated Hitchhiker, I haven't seen anything else with Freeman in it, and what I have seen from him as Bilbo is virtually straight out of my imagination. Well of course, each to his or her own. No two people that have held Tolkien's works dear are going to envision them in the same way. Yet ...

Martin Freeman is someone who I adored as Dent Arthur Dent, and someone who I admire as Dr Watson. From what I have seen at this point (it isn't a whole lot) I'm not overly thrilled that Freeman is portraying Bilbo. I'm not sure of the right way to phrase it, but it seems like this is Freeman playin...
