The Lord of the Rings

Ringing it in

Settle in and order extra popcorn, because the extended edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring clocks in at just under four hours. Peter Jackson’s fantasy classic is back for a special screening to ring in the new year. Follow along as Frodo and the fellowship battle terrifying orcs and travel across stunning vistas as they journey to the fires of Mordor. The series continues throughout the month with viewings of the final two films.
