I saw "The Hobbit" this week, and rated it sort-of-average (6/10). Very Peter-Jackson. (I feel that the style of the Hobbit-as-book is probably better suited to animation than live-action Sword & Sorcery, though arguably that could be said to apply to the Lord of the Rings as well.)

Interestingly, Wreck-It Ralph -- of which I had never even heard -- was the only one among the trailers shown which came across as potentially interesting to watch...

Having been exposed to that evening's representative slice of 'modern' cinema, I found myself consciously reflecting that I now know why "The Artist" did so well last year!
