Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
	Dir. Peter Jackson 2002 US/New Zealand The basic trick of all great epics is to serve up an old-fashioned civics lesson while engaging the audience with a story of Imperial Stormtroopers, Sith, Skywalkers or some-such. The Rings Trilogy along with its messages of racial integration in the form of fellowships, valor, selflessness, offers as its main theme: Be wary of power, power corrupts. It's probably too much to hope that when the Bushes have the their friends, the Blairs, over for movie night that they'll leave the film understanding that just because they have the power to do something it doesn't give them license. Just because oil is precious... preciousss... it doesn't mean it's actually theirs. Back on Middle-Earth, the twin forces of Sauron and Saruman lead an army against mankind's last big fortress. Does evil get defeated? The Ring Trilogy concludes in December of 2003, followed by the US general election eleven months later. With Elijah Wood, Viggio Mortensen, Christopher Lee, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen, and about three gajillion rampaging, flesh-hungry orcs. (179m)
