By Simon Miraudo December 19, 2013 We’re now 343 minutes deep into the saga of The Hobbit, and I’m still having trouble keeping the names of Bilbo Baggins’ thirteen (thirteen!) dwarvish companions straight in my head. There’s Two Beards, of course, the hunky one, James Nesbitt, and, erm, the rest. I’m not the biggest fan […]

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – Starring Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, and Richard Armitage. Directed by Peter Jackson. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Peter Jackson didn’t particularly want to direct The Hobbit, and I didn’t particularly want to be bored to tears, but there we both were, fulfilling what could only be described as some […]

Swinging with the Finkels – Starring Mandy Moore and Martin Freeman. Directed by Jonathan Newman. Rated M. By Hilary Simmons. Swinging with the Finkels sounds more fun than it is; a married couple try ‘swinging’ to put the spice back into their sex life. Unfortunately, there is a lot more arm flinging and hand wringing […]

>We already knew Peter Jackson was going to return to Middle Earth in February 2011 following the ludicrous success of his Lord of the Rings trilogy.

We should know better than to trust any Hobbit news from Ian McKellen. The last we heard from him, the two films were to begin shooting in July of this year. Yeah, how did that work out Ian? Of course, since that optimistic declaration, the Smaug well and truly hit the fan. Director Guillermo del […]
