The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King revisited
Our "One Trilogy To Rule Them All" series comes to an end with the multiple Oscar-winning "The Return Of The King." Winner of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Visual Effects, among others, this movie is the crown jewel of this Lord Of The Rings trilogy that is entrenched in the zeitgeist. The battles, the evil attacks, the creatures, the locations and the emotional moments are all amped up more than the first two movies and don't let go. Listen to this episode where I gush and profess my enthusiasm for everything in this movie from beginning to end. I even have my own Lord Of The Rings-style battle speech at the beginning!
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Our "One Trilogy To Rule Them All" series continues with the second installment in Peter Jackson's epic Lord Of The Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. Released during the Christmas season of 2002, the awe movie audiences felt from The Fellowship Of The Ring was lifted to an even higher level with The Two Towers. This was nominated for multiple Oscars and has been beloved for almost 20 years for its spectacle, emotional gravity, sweeping scenery and of course, Gollum! My precious, take a little time to listen to this episode and take this Middle Earth trip down memory lane.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
You shall not pass...listening to this 50th episode of Movies Merica! To commemorate this event, a revisiting of the one trilogy to rule them all, is in order! In 2001, Peter Jackson took the world by storm with his first installment of this trilogy. It was a movie everyone talked about and deservedly so. A real live-action adaptation of the J.R.R. Tolkien classics hadn't been attempted, and especially not one with the big budget this trilogy had. Listen in to hear some of my fond remembrances of this movie and takes on the characters and story we all love. Next week, a revisiting of The Two Towers will make its presence known!
