Storyline:Mutant students in "Xavier""s School for Gifted Youngsters" (Mutant High) were taught peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants, and ways to control heir unusual powers.Its dark tone also recalled Bogart""s first filmTo Have and Have Not (1942)with Lauren Bacall.Due to its stage-play origins (where the sets were confined and limited), the film also was concentrated within a claustrophobic Southern Florida hotel overtaken by sleazy mobsters - in the midst of an off-season impending storm - when volatile elements were converged together (runaway fugitive Indians, a beaten-up deputy and suspicious sheriff, and gangsters delayed during a counterfeit money deal with other criminals from Miami).The beast was stirred from its slumber by the thrush opening a nut on a rock.Film Notables (Awards, Facts, etc.)A fantasy film from Warner Bros.(New Line) - the first of a three part trilogy of epicHobbitfilms, adapted from J.R.R.Tolkien""s beloved fantasy novel about Middle Earth, first published in 1937.It has inspired many other fantasy tales, including the author""s ownThe Lord of the Ringstrilogy.Guillermo del Toro was originally hired to direct, but dropped out, so Peter Jackson (producer and co-writer) took the job.[Note: An image of a busty naked woman was pasted or painted onto one of the rudders of the copter.] As he warily approached the machine to scavenge what he could, he squawking sound of a buzzard, crow, or bird circling above was heard - to reinforce their similar motives.
