...outbreaks of jolting violence to give some kick to a penetrating character study; and that the real Joey Cusack has a savory showdown with his mob-boss brother Richie (played by William Hurt with a rich pleasure in menace). Mortensen, whose Tom is as stalwart as his Middle-Earth Aragorn, is completely convincing and utterly hunky -a man worth loving, no matter...
...longer Return of the King (which is buttressed by six-plus hours of nifty documentary footage), you will see a hail of flying skulls assaulting Aragorn and his colleagues when they meet the Army of the Dead. The Mouth of Sauron, a creature with really scary teeth, rides out to tell Aragorn that Frodo has been killed. Jackson (who can be glimpsed playing a pirate) also solves the riddle of the "wizard kebab"--a photo, snapped on the set, of a white-robed man impaled on a huge spike.

After dealing with loads of banal domestic tasks, a husband who imbibed a gallon of eggnog and hit on her brother, and snobby, demanding children home from Swedish boarding school, the comfort of Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) is a great way for your mom to unwind.

He chose and directed this perfect cast, orchestrated the smashing visual effects--Tolkien's bestiary on the march in fantastical realms. In Return, the giant trolls, four-tusked elephants and flying, screeching serpents of Mordor will amaze adults and may startle small children. The spider monster Shelob, creeping up on Frodo and mummifying him in a silken straitjacket, offers...
...testament to the long slog of any war. Pain streaks the faces of the film's stalwart warriors. They know the enormity of their foe and know that the child hobbit who bears the Ring is far from them--surely in peril, perhaps lost forever. At one point Aragorn asks Gandalf, "What does your heart tell you?" and in a little movie epiphany, the wizard's face briefly warms, brightens, and he says, "That Frodo is alive...
