The Hobbit movie review This past weekend‚ I went to see the movie ‘The Hobbit’. As a great fan of the author J.R.R Tolkien I would agree that the hobbit series are far more breathtaking than the Lord of the Rings series and that it is definitely not one to miss.

Bombs turn into watermelons just before impact. This is just the
