The Hobbit trailer

Take a look at the trailer for "The Hobbit"! Doesn't it look amazing?!

I have only read half of "The Hobbit"... well I do have a year to catch up on my reading (the movie opens December 14th 2012)!



Other movies to look forward to: Sherlock Holmes 2, The Dark Knight Rises, and Hugo. Yay for movies!

p.s.: If you click on the link, it'll take you to the official website/trailer, which has amazing clarity.

p.p.s.: Note to self: Stop saying amazing.

Happy almost Christmas!
