“So began a battle that none had expected; and it was called the Battle of Five Armies, and it was very terrible.”
Tolkien builds his simple adventure tale to its final climax, and it proves to be a startling one.
Things seem completely hopeless, and war between the elves of Mirkwood, the men of Lake Town and the Dwarves (including Thorin and all his kin) appears unavoidable. Just when the situation couldn’t look darker, it gets a whole lot worse. Goblins and Wild Wolves from the Misty Mountains arrive to slaughter and destroy, and make Smaug’s famed horde their own. War has begun.
Will the dwarves, elves and men be able to set aside their differences and unite against a common enemy? What part does Gandalf play in the battle? How well does Bard meet this new challenge? And what of Bilbo? Join us this weekend in #thehalloffire as we look at “The Hobbit: Chapter 17 – The Clouds Burst”

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ — Whether it was putting a woman in a pair of pants for the first time on screen, illustrating a man’s lack of an undershirt, or firmly planting shoulder pads in the American fashion scene, Costume Designers have been breaking barriers since the advent of film. In Hollywood, Premiere magazine and Hamilton watches salute nine costume designers for their impact on not only the film industry, but on American culture. The second annual Timeless Style Awards recognizes the contribution of nine costume designers whose body of work has influenced fashion around the world. The honorees include Ngila Dickson, Judianna Makovsky, Daniel Orlandi, Sophie de Rakoff, Alexandra Byrne, Ann Roth, Penny Rose, Colleen Atwood and Madeline Fontaine; many of them having already achieved the status of Academy Award winner or nominee.
