Gold and Glitter from TinselTown
A new trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey just hit the web.
I think it looks great. Anyone who has read the books knows The Hobbit covers much of the same territory (pun intended) as The Lord of the Rings, but with a lighter tone more suitable for children.
The trailer seems to have captured that tone nicely.
Director Peter Jackson is splitting the epic book into three movies. This is the first and opens December 14.
We’re two months and six days away from never having to talk about Twilight again…
Er, um, I mean…from the premiere of the exciting final installment of the Twilight Saga.
In this just released trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Edward and Bella team up with Jacob and like minded vampires to fight the evil Volturi and save their daughter Renesmee.
Are you looking forward to the movie?

“There’s a storm coming,” warns catwoman (that’s Anne Hataway under the suit).
And Bane says (we can understand him this time, for a change) that he’s “Gotham’s reckoning.”
Then we have some key images, heavy with symbolism and meaning (we think):
A football field imploding.
Somebody shooting up Wall Street.
The bridges into and out of Manhattan exploding.
Prisoners rioting in the streets.
Sounds like a bad day.
Hope is lost. Faith is broken.
You’ve given these people everything, says Catwoman.
Not yet, says Batman.
It looks dark, so very dark. And timely, so very timely. Batman heads toward a heroic and epic end.
Plus, a flying batmobile!
See for yourself.
Did you see the commercial for “The Avengers” during the Super Bowl? Marvel has been telling the backstories of heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. Now they’re bringing them together in as the Avengers team in a movie opening May 4. Here’s the trailer and I have to say, it makes me want to see the film.

If you’ve been missing Middle-Earth, director Peter Jackson has something to make you miss it even more.
He has just released the first trailer to “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” his highly anticipated return to the Shire and adventure.
As Tolkien fans well know – and I’m sure I’ll get comments correcting any tiny details I mistake – “The Hobbit” takes place before “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and features the “there and back again” adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he joins a gaggle of dwarves on a quest to recover the gold from the dragon Smaug. The tone is much lighter than “Rings,” although many of the characters are the same and hobbit feet are just as big and hairy.
Here’s the trailer:
Did anyone else get shivers seeing the elf city again? (Is it Rivendell? I get them mixed up. Sue me.) How about that younger, perkier Gandalf? The dwarves look fantastic. And, of course, we meet the unfortunate Gollum, played by Andy Serkis, and his precious ring once again.
And not an orc in sight!
Sadly, we have to wait an entire year for more hobbit action, which seems like forever.
The Shire? I want to go to there.
The National Anthem. Football. It doesn’t get more American than this. What is the statement in the new trailer just released for “The Dark Knight Rises,” the Christopher Nolan directed Batman movie to be released next year?
It’s not clear yet, except it has some echoes of current economic woes.
“There’s a storm coming Mr Wayne,” whispers Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, “You’re all going to wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”
Is this #Occupy Batman? Whatever it is…it looks epic.
