The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies: Yeah, Martin Freeman is epic as a action hero, I would buy that everyday. This movie was epic and poetic and violent. Our heroes story was about living, having courage, friendship, loyalty and love. This is a movie you must see on the big screen and I am glad I didn’t see it in 3-D because there is a lot to see there. I approve of this conclusion to the story.

We wanted a little Sherlock on a Friday night but settled on this Cumberbatch-Freeman flick instead. This is a movie full of action and a great visual effects.

Sherlock: His Last Vow

Season 3 of Sherlock has been a good one and its last episode has been magnificent. Holmes and Watson are at their best. This story was totally unexpected. His Last Vow was really, really good.

Sherlock Weekend!

Tonight our PBS station WTCI will air the season 2 finale  “The Reichenbach Fall” and tomorrow season it’s the season 3 premiere “The Empty Hearse” It’s been too long. Welcome back Holmes and Watson.

Now all these gifs on Tumblr will finally make sense. I look forward to seeing what the fuss is all about.

Tumblr and Sherlock

The Fandom is going to blow it up on Sunday. It’s been real y’all. Meet y’all on MySpace.

Sherlock Season Two: A Scandal In Belgravia Tonight!

Our PBS station in Chattanooga WTCI TV45 is airing season two in advance of the season three premere which airs in a couple of weeks. It will be good to see Benedict and Martin solving mysteries and encountering Irene Adler. Of course Moriarity is lurking in dark corners.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Sherlock

It’s basically Sherlock driving Holmes mad and chasing him around a bit. Oh also there is the fire thingy too. This version of Holmes has big feet too.

I guess the episode was good or great…glad to hear it. Keep the spoilers to a minimum good friends. We won’t see it for a couple of weeks on our Public Broadcasting System station. 

The Hobbit, My Review…It Was Great

OK, I have to say this straight away, I am not much of a reader. Therefore I have not read the book “The Hobbit”. With this being said I will be giving my opinion from a movie goers perspective.

I thought this movie was a visual treat. There was so much action and adventure to be found. Surprises awaited at every corner.

Stories about a fish out of water are very relatable. Bilbo Baggins tale of his journey with these band of dwarfs was humorous as well as tough. It reminds us all that the world is full of life and adventure, we just have to leave The Shire to experience it.

Martin Freeman was brilliant in this leading role. He captured the spirit of a man who was about to discover himself as he discovered these new lands. A man who was comfy in his home was about to do battle with creatures only from our imagination.

Richard Armitage was great as Thorin Oakenshield. Of course Sir Ian McKellen brought to life the wizard Gandalf who we have seen in “The Lord of The Rings” trilogy. These two characters made this movie extra special.

Gollum is a iconic character that is popular in our culture. His journey into madness by the ring he prized to much was sad and you felt for him.

Monsters were just horrific. The trolls, goblins and Orcs were just gruesome, and quite the sight to behold and they didn’t make life easy for our heroes. How these warriors survived was truly amazing

It all comes back to the central story of courage, taking a stand and wanting to recapture homeland. We can defeat evil if we do good every day. Stories like this need to be told more often. J.R.R. Tolkien wrote something brilliant here and I cannot wait til the next installment.
