Movies & Reviews

Rise of the Guardians

Director: Peter Ramsey

Year: 2012     Run Time: 97 min

When the evil spirit Pitch launches an assault on Earth, the Immortal Guardians team up to protect the innocence of children all around the world.

Tim's Review

This is really kind of a look - a different look - at the trolls and elves and whatever you want to call them that surround Santa Claus. So it is kind of a Santa Claus movie.

Gregg's Review

This is what movies exist for, is movies like this. I guarantee anyone watching or listening to our show, if you haven't seen this you've got to see this and you won't regret it.

Year: 2012     Run Time: 169 min

A reluctant Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, sets out to the Lonely Mountain with a spirited group of dwarves to reclaim their mountain home, and the gold within it from the dragon Smaug.

Gregg's Review

This is a movie that sort of took the world by storm this year and it's fantastic. I've seen it 4 times already and I nominate - I hereby nominate - and this is an On Cinema exclusive, I hereby nominate for the new Santa Claus: Gandalf! Who I think would be fantastic.

Tim's Review

I do associate these films with the holidays. They are funny kind of movies in a way, they are life affirming movies I guess. They're just kind of fun and light.
