The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has some infrequent bright flashes of light during an action scene involving wizards. After one of the wizards makes a transformation, there are some strobes in the ensuing action, which stop as soon as the scene gets quiet.

The camera moves frequently, using a lot of fast flying shots. One shot looks directly downward and spins. There is a brief scene following a rolling cart at high speeds rolling downhill, and one with upside-down flight.

Flashing Lights: 5/10. Motion Sickness: 6/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: The extended version of this film is bloody enough to have earned an R rating in the United States.

NOTE: Our evaluations of Blue Beetle and Strays are now available on our Patreon page at Patreon.com/MovieHealth, and will both be available on this page on Tuesday, August 22.

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' – the odyssey begins on Prime Video and Max

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), the first film in Peter Jackson’s trilogy of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, isn’t a “prequel” to The Lord of the Rings in the strictest sense of the term. Tolkien wrote “The Hobbit” long before even contemplating his epic trilogy, and the book is a modest, simple fantasy adventure compared to the sweep and scale of the subsequent books. But…

#Mira-Marathon | LOTR

I may or may not go back to watching Stranger Things, but I decided to watch The Hobbit and LOTR again.

Film Name: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012); Production Studios: MGM, New Line Cinema, WingNut Films; Director by: Peter Jackson; Screenwriter: Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro; Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, James Nesbitt, Ken Stott; Genres: Fantasy, Adventure; Running Time: 2 hours 49 minutes;

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is an epic 2012 film that brings the world of Middle-earth to life. It has an exciting plot, vivid visuals and deep characters. However, some scenes can be a bit long. This is a great adventure fantasy that has been appreciated by many fantasy fans.

My rating: 8/10

Happy Birthday the Scottish actor Peter Mullan born 2 November 1959 in Peterhead. I love Peter’s work and rate him as highly as Brian Cox and If ever there was a story of rags to riches it is Peter Mullan, born in Peterhead the family later moved to Mosspark in Glasgow. Mullans father was a drunken violent man but despite this Peter did well at school, at least till the age of 14 when the climate at home forced him out onto the streets and into a gang, spending less and less time at school. In his own words he was aggressively lobotomising himself but admitted he kept up his reading on the sly “You couldnae tell the gang you were reading Carl Jung.” he said. I’m not sure his heart was in the gang culture as he says he was “kicked out” after a couple of years, he returned to school and sailed through his Highers and started at Glasgow University at 17. His dad died of lung cancer on his first day. Mullan studied economic history and drama and despite suffering a nervous breakdown in his final year still managed to graduate. He went on to teach drama at Borstals, prisons and community centres while becoming involved in the left-wing theatre movement that flourished in Scotland in the 1980s. In 1987 he made his professional acting debut with the Wildcat theatre company in a political pantomime. Bit parts in Scottish films and TV series followed, The Steamie, Taggart, of course, and Rab C Nesbitt, as well as The Big Man and in Braveheart, he uttered the words, “We didn’t come here to fight for the” Danny Boyle, Shallow Grave and Trainspotting were another two films that Mullan served his apprenticeship in. The breakthrough came when Ken Loach chose him in the title role of “My Name is Joe” he gave a brilliant portrayal Jekyll-and-Hyde character , a recovering alcoholic whose humanity and warmth masked a frightening capacity for brutality. He won his first award at Cannes as Best Actor for the role. Around the same time Mullan was starting to get into directing, three surreal comic dramas set in the Glaswegian working-class world and then his first full length film, he not only directed but wrote the excellent Orphans an odyssey of four working-class siblings roving round Glasgow in the 24 hours after their mother dies. Channel Four, who funded the film chose not to distribute it as they didn’t think it would attract a large commercial audience. The film however was shown at Film festivals around Europe and won numerous awards, in interviews, Mullan has said that once Orphans started winning awards Channel Four apologised and asked if they could distribute it, an offer he refused. Since then Peter Mullan has not looked back, directing and penning The Magdalene Sisters and Neds as well as starring in amongst others, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, War Horse, Hector and Tommy’s Honour, on the small screen he was one of the main characters in ITV series The Fixer, The BBC Two drama Top of the Lake, and in the excellent drama series Gunpowder. More up to date Peter has appeared as Jacob Snell in the first two seasons of the Netflix series Ozark, all three series of the BBC Two sitcom Mum and a recurring role in the popular TV reboot of Westworld. He has also starred in the Netflix fantasy drama Cursed. We will next see Mullan alongside Colin Farrell and Tom Courtney in the BBC series The North Water. Peter was also one of the participants of the National Theatre of Scotland’s Scenes For Survival project, which featured talents from the country’s arts industry making lockdown-related short films as a response to the country’s theatres having to close during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mullan has been busy in the past few years, appearing in TV shows Liaison, Payback, After the Party and LOTR: Rings of Power, as well as the film, Baghead a Horror film which has average reviews on IMDb. Outlander fans look out for him in the spin off series Outlander: Blood of My Blood, a prequel to the popular Starz show, it follows the parents of both protagonists from the original series. Tony Curran is also cast as a younger Lord Lovatt. It is follows the parents of both protagonists from the original series it is expected to premiere in 2025 on Starz. He has a few oter projects on the go, the most hard hitting will no doubt be an ITV mini series called Lockerbie which will focus on the investigation into the crash on both sides of the Atlantic and the devastating effect it had on the small town and the families who lost loved ones.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has one scene with a fairly rapid succession of images that may create a minor strobe effect. This occurs when someone is having a vision of fire, and ends when things get quiet.

An action scene taking place in river rapids may be disorienting. There are several long, sweeping, flying shots at high speeds, but these are all brief. The camera is almost always moving, but the motion is smooth.

Flashing Lights: 1/10. Motion Sickness: 6/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: One early action sequence will trigger arachnophobic viewers.

NOTE: Our evaluations of Blue Beetle and Strays are now available on our Patreon page at Patreon.com/MovieHealth, and will both be available on this page on Tuesday, August 22.

Mackenzie put a whoopie cushion

on the teacher’s chair.

Makayla told the teacher

that a bug was in her hair.

Alyssa brought an apple

with a purple gummy worm

and gave it to the teacher

just to see if she would squirm.

Elijah left a piece of plastic

dog doo on the floor,

and Vincent put some plastic vomit

in the teacher’s drawer.

Amanda put a goldfish

in the teacher’s drinking glass.

These April Fool’s Day pranks

are ones that you could use in class.

Before you go and try them, though,

there’s something I should mention:

The teacher wasn’t fooling

when she put us in detention.

[scotianostra]

The Scottish actor Gerard Kelly was born on May 27th 1959 in Glasgow.

Given the name Paul at birth, the actor and comedian was born and brought up in Cranhill, the son of a fish and chip shop owner, Kelly was destined for the stage from the time a teacher suggested "we have an actor amongst us".

He first came to public attention in 1978 on the BBC television comedy Scotch and Wry starring Rikki Fulton and went on to play Jack Milroy opposite Tony Roper's Fulton in Rikki and Me in 2006, which he also directed.

In 1992, Gerard was slashed in an unprovoked attack as he entered his Clydeside apartment, leaving him with a permanent face scar. This caused him to leave Glasgow for London for a time.

In 1994 he played Felix Ungar in a Scottish touring production of The Odd Couple, relocated to modern-day Glasgow, alongside Craig Ferguson as Oscar Madison.

Known for his versatility, Kelly also starred in the pilot of the tough Glasgow detective series Taggart, in Rab C. Nesbitt, Juliet Bravo,City Lights and Extras, together with soaps, Eastenders and Brookside.

Films he starred in were Blind Date, with Kirsty Alley and Ken Loach's Ae Fond Kiss.

On stage he found success in John Byrne's The Slab Boys and was praised for his role in Much Ado About Nothing in London's West End he was also a regular in pantomime at Glasgow's King's Theatre.

Kelly collapsed at his home in London and died in a nearby hospital some days later. His funeral was held at St Aloysius' Church in Glasgow with the cortege passing the King's Theatre, where he was due to perform at the time of his death, on its way to a committal at Daldowie Crematorium, he will always be fondly remembered.

Largely forgettable affair like #1, but it did have its moments. At least the trilogy bookends are consistent in quality.
