Description

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is a 2002 epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson, based on the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Lord of the Rings." The story follows the divided fellowship's journey, with Frodo and Sam's attempt to destroy the One Ring, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's efforts to rescue the hobbits Merry and Pippin from the clutches of the evil wizard Saruman. The film's ensemble cast includes Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, and Sean Astin.

The Two Towers picks up where "The Fellowship of the Ring" left off, as Frodo, Sam, and Gollum continue their journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli track Merry and Pippin's trail into the Fangorn Forest, where they meet the Ent Treebeard, who convinces them to fight against Saruman's forces. The forces of the wizard Saruman and the Dark Lord Sauron are on the rise, and the battle between good and evil is escalating.

The film received critical acclaim and was a box-office success, grossing over $950 million worldwide. It was praised for its direction, cinematography, performances, special effects, and music. The Two Towers was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects. It remains one of the most iconic and influential fantasy films of all time and helped establish Peter Jackson as a visionary filmmaker in the genre.

The trailer-teasers for Super 8 inspire millions more questions than they answer, but they do give lots of proof the "old Spielberg magic" is on the comeback trail. Super 8's characters, suspense, and imagery strongly remind veteran dreamworkers of ET and Jurassic Park—strangely scary yet still kid-friendly. For all that they tantalize, though, the Super 8 trailers preserve the film's secrets. The State Department and CIA should study in the J.J. Abrams School of Secret-Keeping; even the WikiLeaks guys would struggle to dig up much more than the trailer's suggestion that a bunch of cute and cool kids have to deal with an "unknown incredible creature." All we really know is that, in the small Ohio town, just about everything that can blow up will blow up. Oh yeah, and we know the kids will film everything on their super-8 movie camera."Super 8 may go into Hollywood history as the movie with sibling rivalry in the sub-text. Elle Fanning, Dakota's younger sister, and Amanda Michalka, Allyson's sister, come out of the big kids' shadows and into their own, proving they have talent and skills. The big kids should feel very afraid. Gabriel Basso, the one child star without famous siblings but who may be a direct descendant of Tom Sawyer, continues the tradition of impish, resourceful Spielberg boy-heroes. Kyle Chandler, uber-dad from "Friday Night Lights," brings that same manly command to Super 8, reassuring everyone that everything will be okay.
