The Hobbit

JRR Tolkein's "The Hobbit" was beautifully brought to the silver screen by the talented director Peter Jackson. Having read the book a few times in schol it was like reliving the story but watching it play out with characters that were chosen and dressed beautifully. The dialogue was awesome allowing for some comic relief to break up any tragedy that would happen along the way. How Bilbo "came of age" by going on this journey and eventually realized that he was an adventuring Hobbit and not a stay at home type. There was a lot of beautiful camera work as well as some amazing CG done with this movie. It is one I will add to my personal collection when it arrives on Blu Ray as well as to go and see the sequel next year to watch the journey continue. It is 3 hours of complete immersion in the world of Middle Earth and it feels like you've only been there a half an hour. I would see it again and again.
