Orcs & Elves

I did it. I finally saw one of the Lord of the Rings movies. Yes that is right, I am probably one of the 10 people on the face of the earth that hadn't seen any of them until last night. Diana and I were actually planning to watch all three of them in one day, all of them the extended versions too. However after watching the first one that lasted pretty much four hours, we took the advice of the guy at Blockbuster who thought that we were nuts, we only watched the first one.

I have to say that I really enjoyed it though. I am not usually into Sci-Fi kind of movies like Star Wars and stuff like that, but this movie was really well done. The cinematogrphy was incredible and this is actually one movie that I kind of like Orlando Bloom. (Generally though he is a pansy.) Oh and due to all the sweet fight scenes in Fellowship of the Ring my new favorite word is "tough", and my new favorite phrase, "that was tough." Because indeed there were some very tough fight scenes, like when Legolas took an arrow, stabbed it through an Orc's face and then proceeded to remove the arrow and use it to shoot another Orc. That my friends is tough.
