A spectacle on the order of Hollywood's grandest productions, Jackson's Rings are simultaneously dense and somber, while evoking the \"everyday\" elements of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. In The Fellowship of the Ring, the hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) inherits the ancient ring of power belonging to the dark lord Sauron, who is bent on conquering Middle-earth. With Gandalf the Grey (Ian Mckellen), and seven stalwart friends, the Fellowship is forged, and Frodo begins his journey to destroy the One Ring before Sauron can reclaim it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/07\/the-fellowship-of-the-ring\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 8:30 p.m. at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> is <strong>The Mighty Stef<\/strong>, <strong>The Tarants<\/strong>, and <strong>Stick Figures<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2014\/07\/rochester-ny-early-show-please-arrive-on-time-the-mighty-stef-from-ireland-w-the-tarants-stick-figures-stay-gold-dance-party-to-follow-bands-at-11-pm\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 10:30 p.m. at <strong>Monty's Krown<\/strong> is <strong>Suicide Magnets<\/strong>, <strong>Guntrouble<\/strong>, the thick, bass-driven noise of <!-- 2008-Jan-9: Bug Jar-thick bass-driven noise; it's like Tuurd was inside me; also 2007-Apr-5, Bug Jar-big, fat, loud drum-and-bass\/noise --><strong>Tuurd<\/strong>, and <strong>Tumul<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/265647886969636\/\">Facebook<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday, August 29<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: red;\">Updated<\/span>: Today at 10 a.m. at <strong>Maggie Brooks<\/strong>' office at the <strong>Monroe County Office Building<\/strong>, <strong>Protest the Treatment of Rochester's Homeless<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Join us this Friday at 10am as we stand outside of Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks office to protest the lack of effort from the county to house homeless individuals.

Demille would have been green with envy. In the second part of his adaptation of Tolkien's tomes, Jackson charges his hobbits toward Mordor to destroy the One Ring, led by the deranged and ring-addicted Gollum. Perhaps the first Cgi masterwork, Gollum is vividly brought to life by Andy Serkis, who shuttles like a mad thing between benevolent desperation and seething, dreadful rage. Meanwhile, the other members of the party are at war with the Uruk-hai, led by Saruman the White (Christopher Lee), who has defied the Fellowship by siding with Sauron.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/07\/the-two-towers\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight in <strong>Genesee Valley Park<\/strong> at <strong>Elmwood Ave. Bridge at S.

Jackson oversaw this massive production with the deftness of a Laurence Olivier or a David Lean. By the end of The Return of the King, one has the astonishing feeling of having been on a journey through a singular world. In this climactic final installment, the hobbits Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) continue to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. To distract Sauron's burning eye, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Gandalf (Ian Mckellen) mobilize the World of Men to battle against Sauron's army at the gates of Mordor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/07\/the-return-of-the-king\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 8:30 p.m. at <strong>Boulder Coffee's Park Avenue Location<\/strong> is <strong>Erik Chad Plymale<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bouldercoffee.info\/calendar\/cal_popup.php?op=view&amp;id=1476&amp;uname=\">Boulder Coffee calendar<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>At the <strong>Joke Factory Comedy Club<\/strong> (911 Brooks Ave.) is an <strong>Improv Extravaganza<\/strong> starting around 9 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/improv-extravaganza\/Event?oid=2422179\">City Newspaper events calendar<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>White Woods<\/strong>, <strong>St. Phillips Escalator<\/strong>, and <strong>Big Fred<\/strong> perform at the <strong>Lovin' Cup<\/strong> tonight starting around 9 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/lovincup.com\/happenings\/details.php?id=1972\">Lovin' Cup website<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 9:30 p.m. at <strong>Abilene<\/strong> is <strong>Joe Fletcher And The Wrong Reasons<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abilenebarandlounge.com\/Events.html\">Abilene website<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Teressa Wilcox Band<\/strong> performs at <strong>Dinosaur<\/strong> tonight starting around 10 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dinosaurbarbque.com\/live-music-rochester\">Dinosaur calendar<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Bug Jar<\/strong> will host <strong>Joywave<\/strong>, and <strong>Fowls<\/strong> starting around 10:30 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2014\/07\/rochester-ny-joywave-w-special-guests-fowls-dj-set-by-the-cult-co-all-stars-to-follow-bands\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sunday, August 31<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. is <strong>Alleyfest<\/strong> at the <strong>Anderson Alley Building<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/andersonalleyartists.com\/visit\/events.php\">Anderson Alley website<\/a>, 2014-Aug-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Royal Wedding<\/strong> (Stanley Donen, U.S. 1951, 93 min., 35mm) today at 2 p.m.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>End the summer with double the romance as brother-and-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) find love in Great Britain.
