Trailer Thursday! The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Based on: The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien
Synopsis: Bilbo Baggins is swept into a 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 Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters 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 guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities.

So looking forward to this! I adore the cast. Martin Freeman stole into my heart with his portrayal of Watson in BBC's Sherlock.

I found a copy of the book in a thrift store. I definitely have to read it before the movie comes out.

Movie Trailer: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower is now a movie staring Emma Watson and Logan Lerman. Even Nina Dobrev is in it. Love her! I quite enjoyed this book, and I am so looking forward to the movie.

Movie Trailer: Great Gatsby

The Hollywood habit turning books into movies shows no sign of stopping. To that already long list, we have a new addition: The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

This trailer looks so good! I'm really excited for the movie. Might just be better that be book, I dare say...
