And he is back. After a loooong delay, Jackson returns to Middle Earth with the first in a two-part prequel to his masterwork – The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
The movie 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 Oakensheild. 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 ofguile 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 market for small companies and short films is increasing big time. These days we can see a lot of individuals and new talents coming up. Sometime back we featured the short film “mehrooni“. This week we have another short film “The Day the President Moved Thanksgiving” by Dastoli Brothers (Robert & James Dastoli). The movie is a comedic take on outside forces conspire to pressure President Roosevelt into moving the date of Thanksgiving in the year 1939 to allow an extra week for Christmas shopping, in order to provide an extra week of Christmas shopping to boost the American economy. It’s stylistically a journey through various 1930s genres of cinema.
James & Robert Dastoli (Dastoli Digital) have created many award winning short films in the past decade. This film’s concept has been around since Thanksgiving of 2006, and the main reason for it’s delay in production has been lack of funds. But still amongst all problems the Dastoli Brothers have been able to put up a good and an interesting Short film ready to be screened by Thanksgiving. It is worth having a look.
