This Shelf Reserved for. Whatever seems important at the time. Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Thank you, Mr. Chew! The first of a three part-movie series based on The Hobbit,. Will be released on Friday, December 14. The movie is brought to us by the same creative team that produced The Lord of the Rings. And I am looking forward to a wonderful movie experience, but I am also feeling a little anxious. I have seen some movies that just did not do justice to the novels they were based on, and The Hobbit. It ga...
