The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey

Tonight I have been to see The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey.

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first of a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The three films tell a continuous story set in Middle-earth 60 years before "The Lord of the Rings," which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Argo

Tonight I have been to see Argo.

Ben Affleck directs and stars in the incredible true story of a secret mission to rescue six Americans trapped in Iran. It's 1979 and revolutionaries have just raided the US embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But as the hostage crisis deepens, another extraordinary story is unfolding. Six Americans have escaped and are hiding in the home of the Canadian ambassador. As revolutionary guards conduct door-to-door searches, they face the real possibility of meeting very nasty ends. But CIA 'exfiltration' expert Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) has an audacious and risky plan. With the help of Hollywood special effects expert John Chambers (John Goodman) and producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin), he intends to pretend the six are a Canadian film crew making a science fiction film! Based on real events, details of which were recently declassified, Ben Affleck's dazzling follow-up to 'The Town' is a story so astonishing that it could only be true.

Love Bite

Tonight I have been to see Love Bite.

A werewolf preys on virgins in this seriously sexy British horror-comedy!

Then smart, sexy American traveller Juliana (Jessica Szohr) walks into his life. Naturally, Jamie is smitten. But then something weird starts to happen. A boy named Bruno (Robin Morrissey) disappears while coming home from a party and an enigmatic stranger reveals there's a werewolf on the loose. What's more, this hungry lycanthrope is preying on virgin flesh. The only way to avoid its attentions is to pop your cherry as quickly as possible!

There's romance and chaos in the air in this outrageous Halloween teen comedy from the creator of 'The O.C.' It's Halloween - the night of the big party to which Wren (Victoria Justice) and her best pal April (Jane Levy) have been invited by dreamy Aaron Riley (Thomas McDonell). Then Wren's mum drops a bombshell. She's off out for the evening, leaving Wren to take charge of freaky little brother Albert (Jackson Nicoll). As if things couldn't possibly get any worse, Albert disappears while out trick or treating. Now Wren and April need to track him down on this wildest of nights, and to do that they need to commandeer a car driven by nerdy Roosevelt (Thomas Mann). Little do they know that mischievous Albert has been recruited for a vengeance mission! This feature debut by US TV writer and producer Josh Schwartz, creator of 'The O.C.' and screenwriter of 'Gossip Girl', is a real Halloween comedy treat.

Skyfall

Tonight I have been to see Skyfall.

James Bond is back, but his loyalty is tested as M's past comes back to haunt her. This year marks the 50th anniversary since the infamous spy franchise first started and the producers of the latest Bond film have pulled out all the stops. For the first time in the series' history, a James Bond film is being directed by an Academy Award winner in the form of Sam Mendes, who won the award for American Beauty in Mendes has bought with him a wealth of talent - in fact, the impressive cast and crew of technical experts have 35 Academy Award nominations and five wins between them. It is no wonder that this is rumoured to be the biggest Bond ever. Filmed all over the world including Turkey and China, 'Skyfall' sees MI6 come under attack and Bond (Daniel Craig) dispatched to track down and destroy the threat - no matter how great the personal cost. The stellar cast also includes Javier Bardem as the villainous Silva who, after his scene-stealing performance in 'No Country For Old Men', will be more than a match for Craig's Bond.

Looper

Bruce Willis stars in a mind-boggling sci-fi action movie about a time-travelling assassin hired to kill his future self! One of the biggest problems facing any mobster is how to whack someone without leaving messy evidence behind. By 2072, the technology for time travel exists, even though it's illegal to make use of it. This doesn't stop the criminals, who employ assassins known as loopers. Their job is to nip back 30 years to 2042, before the advent of time travel, and eliminate targets sent from the future. That way, there's no evidence the victim ever existed. There's just one rule: never let your target escape. But that's exactly what happens when looper Joe (Joseph Gordon Levitt) finds that the man who's just materialised in front of him is his future self (Bruce Willis)! From the director of cult hit 'Brick', 'Looper' is a ferociously clever and exciting time travel thriller.
