MOVIE REVIEW: THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
On my Culture Vulture blog I’ve written a movie review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, read it here. This is currently the most profitable movie in America.
Bottom line:even after seeing it twice my feelings remain mixed. Read the review and see what you think.
