Was there ever any doubt that 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' was going to dominate this weekend? Heck, it's probably going to dominate next weekend, too.

However, this was not just a victorious weekend for Twi-hards -- just about every film in the top ten had something to cheer about.

To tie into tonight’s Presidential debate, Steven Spielberg‘s ‘Lincoln‘ has released a long form TV spot, perhaps to remind us of the last President everyone can agree was pretty amazing (well, at least most everyone).
