The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) – Updated

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 4, 2014

Without the inventiveness and lore that J.R.R. Tolkien created in his books, there would never be something as visceral and grand in scope as The Lord of the Rings. However, it is a vibrant mythology that Peter Jackson breathed life into, and it becomes evident in the opening minutes of the Fellowsh read more

The Vampires: The Ring That Kills (1915, Louis Feuillade)

The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 8, 2012

In The Ring That Kills, Feuillade goes with a gradual build-up and a rather tense finish. There’s no recap of the previous Vampires entry, which gets confusing towards the end, when a supporting character returns. Feuillade uses that character, played by Marcel Lévesque, as comic relief. He&# read more

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on Jan 8, 2011

My brother and I had one more trip to the Beach Theater to finish up our beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy.  Though our sister had endured the past two installments, she had had enough of our nerd time.  She missed out, big time. Return of the King one-uped it’s predecessors in every way.  Battles read more

The Best Picture Project Posted by Alyson on May 18, 2010

My next trip to The Beach Theater was for the second installment of the Rings Trilogy.  Dad decided to sit this out out and my sister wearily tagged along for popcorn as my brother and I squealed with nerdy excitement.  In that first scene where Gollum climbs down on the rocks growling, “T read more

One boring December day at Ft. Myers Beach, my dad looked in the morning paper for a movie to take us kids to.  “How about this Lord-of-the-Rings thing?” he said in a tone showing he had no idea what it was about, but with all the little advertisements making it look good, why not?  So we ran read more
