These actors prove that age is really just a number.

We've had an 'Unexpected Journey' and seen the 'Desolation of Smaug,' and now this year Peter Jackson brings us the conclusion of the trilogy with 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.' With six months still left ahead before we catch up with Bilbo and friends, it's about time we get our first look at the final chapter in their story.

With 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' now in theaters, marking a high point for this art form, we take a look back at some of the most incredible instances of motion-capture performances, and see how this art form has evolved.

Here are the movie screening times for "The Hobbit." Going to a holiday movie is a tradition for us. When Peter Jackson's Tolkien movies come out we ALWAYS go as a family. They have some violence to them, but it's kind of a clean violence.

Following Snoop Lion's epic rap battle against Santa Claus, 'Lord of the Rings' fans will delight as Gollum takes on his past self Smeagol in a hip hop battle royale. (The rest of us will be disturbed at the accurate makeup the guy in the video is sporting.)

Though Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' hit screens mere hours ago, it's already on track to have the highest opening weekend of any picture to open in December. That's right, it's on track to open bigger than 'Avatar.'

Sure, everyone agrees that the 'Lord of the Rings' movies are great. But let's be real -- there's a whoooole lot of walking. Plus, we can't see Sean Astin without thinking "Rudy plumped up." So, yes, we love this 'Honest Trailer' for the movie...
