Feel-good flicks
It’s hard not to look forward to the end of the year when you
have these amazing movies to catch
FINDING NEMO 3D
A heartwarming fish tale such as
Finding
Nemo
is worth watching over and over
again. Thanks to Disney Digital 3D, you
can — and this time you get better-looking
scenes that leave you feeling like you’re
really underwater with the characters. So
cheer on Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks)
—
a clownfish who’s on a brave quest to
rescue his son Nemo (Alexander Gould)
from a dentist’s fish tank — and meet the
other wonderful personalities who come to
his aid.
THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
There’s a lot of excitement over Peter Jackson’s first installment, and rightly so. Fans
are promised tons of adventure and spectacular landscapes, with elves, orcs, goblins,
giant spiders and shapeshifters all in on the action. The story begins 60 years before
The Lord of the Rings,
when a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) joins 13
dwarves and wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) to take back the dwarf kingdom of
Erebor from Smaug the dragon. It looks like it’s going to be an exhilarating ride.
These groups are staging grand concerts on the
same night. Who will you choose?
