Ha. Hobbit report.

Empire magazine has an article on what to expect in part 2 and 3 of the hobbit, with tongue firmly in cheek.

Enhanced interrogation?

The set-up involves the quizzing of an orc for information that may or may not be followed by a Jack Nicholson-style “You can’t handle the truth!” for the benefit of liberals in the room. It’s Zero Dark Fur-ty.

then they hint at Spider/vulcan mind meld, the Prison break/River Wild sequence, the greedy politician, Biker Dain riding a hog (literally), and Vampire bats.

Sounds like a lot of cliches redone, but then Tolkien always said a good story was like a stew, with ingredients taken from other stories and then cooked up to make a new dish...whether or not it works depends on how you do it.
