Synopsis: Fantasy, continuing the adventures of the younger Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit enlisted to journey with wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, on a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. The group continues east, encountering the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous Mirkwood Forest. After escaping in barrels from the dangerous Woodland Elves who have captured them, they journey by barge to Lake-town, a town with rivers for roads, which has falled on hard times, having been prosperous in former times before the dragon Smaug took over Erebor. They press on to the Lonely Mountain, where they finally face Smaug and try to expell him from what was their people's home.

Title: One does not simply walk into Mordor: sound and music as suture in the opening sequences of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth filmsAuthor: White, DanielArticle type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Offers a detailed analysis of the use of music and sound in the opening sequences of Peter Jackson’s 'Middle-Earth' trilogies 'The Lord of the Rings' (2001–2003) and 'The Hobbit' (2009–2011). Utilises the psychoanalytic concept of suture to explore how composer Howard Shore's music functions to both construct the world of the films and to draw audiences into that world.
