Gollum Themed TV Spot for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Posted: 09 Dec 2012 10:01 AM PST New Line Cinema / Warner Bros. have unleashed the 12th TV spot for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This one centers around Gollum and the nasty role he plays in the prequel adventure. Take a look below! The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Gollum Themed TV Spot The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the 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... A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey comes to theaters December 14th, 2012 and stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Lee Pace, Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellen, Billy Connolly, Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett. The film is directed by Peter Jackson.

FEATURE: PaulRom's 2012 Christmas Wishlist Posted: 09 Dec 2012 10:00 AM PST As fellow editor WaylonJones said yesterday on his Christmas wishlist (you can check that out by clicking HERE), almighty Galactus has asked us to once again put together Christmas holiday guides/wishlists, like last year.

Colorado Springs doctor kidnapped by Taliban in Afghanistan is rescued Posted: 09 Dec 2012 10:35 AM PST A Colorado Springs doctor is safe after being rescued from his Taliban captors in Afghanistan on Saturday, according to a relief agency.

Headhunters (2011) Posted: 09 Dec 2012 09:04 AM PST This film is now on Netflix and I strongly recommend you check it out. The most fun I've had watching a film in quite some time. Enough humor, action, drama, and suspense to hold anyone's attention, assuming you don't mind subtitles. My favorite cat and mouse movie since I Saw the Devil.

BOX OFFICE: SKYFALL Passes SPIDER-MAN 3 To Become Sony's Highest-Grossing Film Ever Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:37 AM PST No one saw this coming, that's for sure. According to the latest report, the Sam Mendes-directed 23rd James Bond film has passed Spider-Man 3 at the global box office, and it is officially Sony Pictures' highest-grossing film ever. That is quite amazing. Skyfall still needs to open in China, one of the biggest international markets today. If the film breaks out there, $1 billion should happen, which would make Skyfall the first James Bond film grossing $1 billion at the box office. James "Box Office" Bond. With $918M worldwide, SKYFALL passed SPIDER-MAN 3 ($890M) to become Sony's highest grossing film of all-time.— Exhibitor Relations (@ERCboxoffice) December 9, 2012 Skyfall was back on top this weekend at the domestic box office, beating The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and the film has also passed Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises at the international box office with $656.6 million. Starring Daniel Craig, Ralph

COMICS: Jim Starlin To Write New Series For DC Comics Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:03 AM PST On his official facebook account, Starlin shared the following, "I have just completed scripting the first two issues of an on-going series for DC Comics. Can't say what the title is until DC wants the news out. But I imagine a lot of people will be quite surprised to see me take over the writing chores on this particular property. Been having a (surprisingly) fun time with it so far. Exciting news to be sure, Starlin is the creator behind Thanos, Shang-Chi, Mongul and the author of notable arcs like The Death of Captain Marvel, Batman: A Death in the Family and Death of the New Gods (there's clearly a theme here). With his penchant for writing cosmic tales it wouldn't be a wild guess to suppose that he's doing the same for DC. Perhaps he's taking over Green Lantern, resurrecting The Weird or maybe even a Legion of Superheroes

VIDEO: Jamie Foxx Impersonates Tyler Perry's Madea, Hostess Snack Cake Ding-Dong on SNL Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:58 AM PST There's a reason Jamie Foxx has an Oscar on his mantel. Not only can he act, the Ray star can sing, rap, and he's even pretty good at cross-dressing. Who knew?! For his second time hosting Saturday Night Live, Foxx showed off all these skills and more, and got some help from a few surprise celebrity cameos. A buddy cop movie starring only one actor? That's the selling point for Tyler Perry's newest film, Alex Cross 2 — Madea: Special Ops, in which Foxx played Perry playing half crime novel detective Alex and...

Dallas Cowboys' Jerry Brown Killed in Car Wreck, Teammate Josh Brent Jailed Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:53 AM PST Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent was jailed Saturday and charged with intoxicated manslaughter after he was behind the wheel during a car accident that killed teammate Jerry Brown early Saturday, ESPN reports. According to local police, Brent's car was traveling on a local State Highway in Cincinnati, where the Cowboys are playing this weekend, before it hit the outside curb at approximately 2:30 a.m. The car flipped at least one time and skidded before coming to a halt in the middle of the service road. When police arrived, Brent was attempting to pull his teammate from the burning car. Police then.... Read More >

[Spoilers] Skyfall Theory: Daniel Craig's Bond father is.... Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:13 AM PST Sean Connery's Bond. Hear me out. Sean Connery is the first "official" movie Bond, he is Scottish, and his iconic car is the Aston Martin DB5 with the plate #BMT216A (with ejector seats, bulletproof body, & headlight machineguns). This car is last seen in Thunderball, Connery's 2nd to last Bond film. The DB5 which appears in Goldeneye has the plate #BMT214A (so we can assume this is a different car altogether). In Skyfall, we find out that Craig's Bond is also of Scottish origin and has the same DB5 (same plate #, same features). When Craig's Bond is resurrected, M mentions that his flat has been sold and all his personal possessions have been put in storage. The DB5 is in a storage shed with many boxes of what we can assume are Bond's things. How did he get it? It's not given to him by MI-6 (or it would not be considered his) nor is it the same car from Casino Royale. His father, the original Bond, gave it to him. In the final act, we see the Bond parents' headstone, his father was named "Andrew Bond". So his first name can't be James....but we don't know his middle name. Could this be Connery's Bond - Andrew James Bond? Let's assume he is and that he is the first 007 since MI-6's inception. His exploits are detailed from Dr. No to You Only Live Twice (a fitting title, in regards to this theory), after which Andrew James Bond retires from MI-6. With SPECTRE still active and not wishing to lose their best defense against them (and partly in honor of their first 007 agent), MI-6 recruits more 007s (Lazenby is the next, Moore taking over after him, and onwards), giving them the false name "James Bond". This means that the code name "James Bond" theory is still relevant. More credibility is added to this theory in Skyfall when Bardem's Silva tells M to "use his real name". EDIT: Listen to Adele's "Skyfall". (IMHO the best title song of the entire franchise) You may have my number (007) You can take my name (Bond) But you'll never have my heart.... Fast forward, Connery retires to Scotland (taking the DB5 with), marries, and has a son...whom he either names James Bond or Andrew James Bond Jr. (an homage to The Last Crusade's Henry Jones Jr.??). This is Craig's Bond. We can assume that Craig's Bond grows up with his parents before their death (possibly in a climbing accident, as in the novel) and that the elder Bond raises the younger with some of his own quirks. Upon his parent's death, the younger Bond takes possession of Skyfall mansion and his father's old DB5, and M immediately recruits Craig's Bond into MI-6, his first major mission being Casino Royale. Additionally, why is Craig's Bond so shattered after failing to save Ronson and retrieve the HD upon his "death" in the opening act of Skyfall? A seasoned agent would get up and keep going after the men responsible. If his father was the original 007 and he was raised under his father's exploits and that he never failed a mission, this would explain the guilt he feels. Remember in the middle of Skyfall when Silva asks what he's good at and Bond answers "Resurrection"? He is speaking about resurrecting the 007 franchise itself. In the ending sequence, it is only after everything his father built (Skyfall, DB5, old M) is destroyed, that Craig's Bond becomes his own man. When he enters Mallory's foyer, the hat rack and Moneypenny's desk mirror their placement in Dr. No. When he enters Mallory's office the painting on the wall behind him is of Nelson's fleet moving out from the harbor in full sail, rather than being hauled away for scrap (in the Q scene). submitted by EldarCorsair [link] [36 comments]

Jurassic Shark... This is a movie. Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:46 AM PST submitted by dcfc1016 [link] [9 comments]

Name that actor/movie! Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:38 AM PST I've tried looking everywhere to find this movie again, but all I remember is one scene involving one unknown actor... I think the movie had something to do with hacking, because after busting this character and stealing him from his computer filled apartment room, they ended up hiring him to hack. He had long brown, greasy-ish hair, was a small/skinny build, and seemed kind of nerdy. I think he has a pointy-ish nose, and kind of looks like the guy from Criminal Minds (http://bit.ly/9ZZMkK). Help me out, r/movies, you're all I've got! submitted by Barackitship [link] [5 comments]

Why do most zombie movies start with the characters/world having no idea what a zombie is? Thoughts? Posted: 09 Dec 2012 08:38 AM PST This has always bugged the hell out of me. The first third of nearly every zombie movie had the characters trying to reason with the dead, chilling with bitten survivors ("I don't know how they could have died from such a small bite..."), and generally learning how zombies work. Why is this still so? We, the audience, don't need this information. We've all known how zombies are since we were five. And what would be the harm in having the characters be privy to this cultural knowledge as well? submitted by AnomalousGonzo [link] [7 comments]
