THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

I love Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol". There are Trekkies, LOTR's, Twilighter's, and other fan-atic's...mine is the cinematic world of Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Cratchit, et al.

Mark your calendars, because I'm predicting that Anthony Hopkins will take home the Academy Award for Best Actor for this role. He deserves it!

This was all to verify whether or not he even lived there. Enjoy.
