There and Back Again

Well November is coming to an end, and I know you are all looking forward to that glorious day coming in December.  Of course what we've all been waiting for!  The Hobbit is coming out in theaters.  Some of you thought I was talking about Christmas, don't be silly.  Anyone who has seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy know how awesome they were.  Most movies people complain that it doesn't follow the book well, it wasn't as good, yada yada yada.  The Lord of the Rings is one movie that isn't like that.  For the most part it is very accurate, and well acted.

I hope that the Hobbit can achieve as much success as the original movies.  I've read the first two books for the Lord of the Rings as well as the Hobbit, and I can see how good of a movie they can make.  It has a lot of potential, and is sure to be a hit.  This is a movie to look forward to next month, so get ready for a brand new experience in Middle Earth.

A Ph.D in Horribleness

Let me ask you a question.  Are you a fan of super heroes? Don't answer, of course you are, but have you heard of Dr. Horrible?  If not, I recommend you watch his movie, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, starring Neil Patrick Harris.

Now I know what you may be thinking, singing, superheroes, and blogs, all in one movie?  That sounds a bit ridiculous.  But may I say that this is a great story, it is able to mix the genres of a comedy, a musical, a love and story into one very memorable film.

In short, the movie is about a small time villain, Dr. Horrible, who tries to win over the girl of his dreams, and at the same time become a member of the Evil League of Evil by demonstrating is villainy.  The only one standing in his way is his nemesis, Captain Hammer.

The movie is hilarious, the plot is well thought out, and all the music is memorable.  You could find the whole movie on Youtube, so next time you find yourself bored with forty minutes to kill, just look it up and enjoy this great movie.
