Rise of the trilogy
MOVIES
After Warner Bros. made the fateful decision to split "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" into two parts in a marketing gambit that nearly doubled its worldwide gross, other studios took notice and began unnaturally extending the lives of their own most popular titles.
Movie reviews with Landon McDonald
First Summit bisected "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," the bloodsucker romance scheduled to finally run dry this November. Then Lionsgate announced its planned "Hunger Games" trilogy would become a "quadrilogy." Everywhere you look these days, franchise bloat is on the rise.
Even Middle-earth isn't safe from the shadow of maximized profitability. Peter Jackson has announced that his deliriously anticipated version of "The Hobbit" will now span a trilogy, with "The Desolation of Smaug" and "There and Back Again" set for release in December 2013 and July 2014, respectively. This prompted much debate among the faithful: Was his choice a cynical cash-grab or an effort to give
J. R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel, which barely cracks 300 pages, the definitive adaptation it deserves? Will the films benefit from the expansion, which is said to draw extensively from Tolkien's many appendices, or suffer a "Dark Knight Rises" level of dramatic inertia?
the dwarves can wait. The dragon Smaug, however, is another matter entirely, especially since the Lonely Mountain's resident firebreather is the impetus behind the entire story. Cumberbatch, who also voices the bejeweled beast, has indicated in recent interviews that Smaug may not appear in this December's "An Unexpected Journey." Will audiences feel cheated having to wait an additional year for Weta Digital's newest motion-capture marvel, one that's rumored to be every bit as revolutionary as Andy Serkis' Gollum?
I like to give Jackson the benefit of the doubt here. It's worth noting that the original "Lord of the Rings" was only budgeted for two movies until Jackson convinced New Line to finance his trilogy, a move that led to what many consider the high water mark of fantasy cinema. When I saw him at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, he seemed positively giddy about the possibilities offered by a third film, which would involve Gandalf ( Ian McKellen) and the rest of the White Council crossing staffs with the mysterious Necromancer of Dol Guldur (Benedict Cumberbatch), an early incarnation of the dark lord Sauron.
If a storyline that intriguing takes another film to cover, so be it. Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and
Look, I'll admit we don't technically need three "Hobbit" movies. A faithful rendering could have been accomplished with a single 150-minute film. But given Jackson's formidable track record handling Tolkien, what self-respecting geek would deny him the right to revisit Middle-earth? As Bilbo himself learns, every adventure requires a willingness to embrace the unexpected.

Director Kim Kiduk poses with the Golden Lion he won for his movie 'Pieta' at the awards photo call during the 69th edition of the Venice Film Festival.
'Pieta' wins best film at Venice Film Festival

In a departure from the usual acceptance speeches, Kim thanked the jury and festival audience with a short song in Korean, leaving the theater in rapt silence.
(AP) — South Korean director Kim Ki-duk's drama "Pieta," the brutal story of a debt collector who cripples those who can't pay until he meets a woman who claims to be his mother, won the Golden Lion for best film at the 69th Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
In the film, Hoffman plays a charismatic sect leader who both befriends and enthralls a World War II veteran, played by Phoenix, who is drowning in homemade swill and unable to find a job or a life purpose.
The Silver Lion for best director went to Paul Thomas Anderson for "The Master," a film inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard
Hoffman accepted both awards on behalf of both Anderson and Phoenix, who had continued from Venice on to Toronto to promote the film.
The movie's stars, Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, shared the prize for best actor.

Rare photo on display
This photo released Friday by Amherst College Archives and Special Collections and the Emily Dickinson Museum shows a copy of a cica 1860 daguerreotype purported to show a 30-year-old Emily Dickinson, with her friend Kate Scott.
AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Scholars at Amherst College in Massachusetts believe a collector may have what would be just the second known photo of Emily Dickinson.
The college says the collector, who wishes to remain anonymous, bought the photo in 1995 in Springfield. He brought it to the college's archive and special collections staff in 2007, and they've been researching it since.
Last month, it was publicly shown during the Emily Dickinson International Society conference in Cleveland, Ohio.
The daguerreotype, dated around 1859, appears to show Dickinson sitting next to a friend, Kate Scott Turner.
There's strong evidence it's Dickinson, including comparisons of high-resolution digital images of the newer photo with the known image, from 1847, said Mike Kelly, head of the archive and special collections department at Amherst
College.
Kelly said perhaps the best evidence is an ophthalmological report that compared similarities in the eyes and facial features of the women in the photos. "I believe strongly that these are the same people," concluded the doctor who wrote the report.
Researchers can't yet definitively say the photo is Dickinson, but "I think we can get beyond reasonable doubt," Kelly said.
