Yuu huu... it's raining trailers this week isn't it? First we've got the final Batman saga The Dark Knight Rises from Christopher Nolan, I'm sure y'all have seen the epic trailer by now.

I know today's Halloween but I really don't care for this pagan holiday and horror flicks aren't my forte, so I'd rather wish one of my fave directors, Peter Jackson, a happy 50th birthday instead.

Just like that blockbuster, I can say this with confidence, BELIEVE THE HYPE. But unlike the caped crusader tale, District …
