Coolidge Corner Theatre Presents Complete LOTR
Xoanon @ 6:55 pm EST

The Coolidge Corner Theatre presents THE COMPLETE LORD OF THE RINGS!

Fri-Sat Jan 28-29 @ midnite

Special FREE screening!
THE HOBBIT

Before Peter Jackson tackled J.R.R. Tolkien's epic story of Middle Earth, the television animation team of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass (known for their classic stop-motion holiday specials like RUDOLPH, FROSTY and MAD MONSTER PARTY) took a stab at THE HOBBIT - and produced a cel-animated version that is a certified classic. Featuring the voices of Orson Bean, Otto Preminger, and John Huston as the first great version of Gandalf, the film also terrified many a 9-year-old's psyche with a truly creepy lizard-like Gollum (voiced by the legendary comedian Brother Theodore). And let us not forget that final battle with the evil dragon Smaug. "I am strong, Strong, STRONG!"

Oh sure, you know THE LORD OF THE RINGS films by now - they're only the biggest phenomenon in popular film since, oh, STAR WARS (and they are better, too). And while you may have worn out those special edition DVDs (we have), there's still nothing like seeing these stunning cinematic epics ON THE BIG SCREEN! Don't miss another chance to live the riveting, exciting, and amazingly lush (thank you New Zealand! You are the perfect Middle Earth) adventures of Frodo, Samwise, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Merry & Pipin, as they form an unbreakable fellowship with one mission: to destroy the one true ring before it falls into the hands of the uber-evil Dark Lord Sauron - or gets snatched away by the lovably treacherous Gollum, perhaps the best CGI character to yet grace the screen (take that Jar Jar!). Sure, it may be three epic films, but as Gimli says "It still only counts as one", and this is one you must see once again on the GIANT screen! Come in costume for free popcorn and a chance to enter our prize drawing for collectable Tolkien stuff! (note: films are showing in original theatrical versions)
