25 Years Ago The World Welcome Hobbits & Lord of The Rings into Theaters
Twenty-five years ago, a gamble reshaped cinema—and few people realized it in the moment. Where it all started! In December 2001, audiences stepped into Middle-earth with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and something quietly seismic happened. This wasn’t just another fantasy movie arriving for the holiday season. It wasn’t a niche genre experiment or a disposable blockbuster meant to fade once the credits rolled. It was the opening chapter of a cinematic undertaking so ambitious that, even now, it feels borderline impossible that it worked at all.

People We Meet on Vacation
Our first Netflix movie of the year is The People We Meet on Vacation. Obviously this is based on a book, one of those “summer reads” kind of books. So the expectations for this movie are very low. It’s gonna be some fluff and that’s okay as long as it doesn’t try to be more than what it is. I have no problem with mindless films as long as the movie itself knows it's mindless.
