What's Your Favourite Hobbit Scene.

Have you been to the cinema to see the latest Hobbit movie yet? If so we want to know your favourite scene from the Hobbit desolation of Smaug, we've put together the below image to give you a few ideas.

Here at www.thefilmcell.com we would have to say the Barrel scene is our favourite scene as it incorporates both the Hobbits and the elves fighting the Orcs along the river. But it was a tough one as there are so many great scenes throughout the movie including bits that Peter Jackson has added in that we're never in the book. There are a few things that he has also left out that would have been a good additional but maybe he has kept that for the extended version that I'm sure will be released in a few months.

Anyway let us know what you liked the best and make sure you check out our website www.thefilmcell.com for all the latest Hobbit memorabilia and collectable gift ideas for movie fans.

Top 5 Halloween Masks for Adults in 2013

Halloween is almost upon us, where has that last year gone? This year we have been busy creating content and articles to help you decide which Halloween costume to go for. Here we have created a JibJab video around our top 5 Halloween masks for 2013, take a look at the You Tube video below and if it makes you smile share this on your social media accounts.

We have sourced some of the best Halloween costumes and accessories for 2013 and we are sure you will find a costume to suite your needs. But if you are on a budget this year, lets face it most of us are, then a Halloween mask is ideal. Pick your mask and then make your own costume around it. For example create a Mummy costume by covering yourself in loo roll. For a skeleton costume why not get some old black clothes and paint bones on them, this way your only really cost is the mask.

Hopefully you enjoy our video and Happy Halloween!! Waaa Haaa Haaaaaa!!!

Pirate Fancy Dress Party Ideas - FREE Pirate Invitation

Pirate Party Ideas

We have created this guide to help you create your themed pirate party. If you are looking to host a party around your home then these tips will give you a step by step guide for your event. This is mainly aimed at adult themed parties as we have including some drinking games but the premis can be passed over to kids parties.

Firstly the best way to theme a party is to invite your guess to take part in fancy dress. The great thing about a pirate themed party is you don’t have to spend too much money or go over the top to achieve that pirate look. There are thousands of costumes and accessories out there so you can find anything that would suit your taste. Whether it be a full on Jack Sparrow costume with wig and accessories or just a pirates eye pat and a hat. No pirate costume is complete with out a pirate pistol or swashbuckling sword...

So you have the theme organised, great, but what can you do to make your pirate invitation special? You can get your guessed in the pirate mood before they even arrive to the party, do you remember at school when you used a tea bag to make paper look old or vintage? That's a fantastic way to create the paper for your invite, for a more authentic look, sprinkle coffee onto the paper when damp. This gives the effect of dark stains and dirt and works a bit better than tea bags. use a lighter to burn the edges of the paper for an even more vintage look. For children just rip each edge to give you a similar effect.

You now have the paper, fantastic, you just need to add you info to the invite. A great way to get your guests excited about the event is to give each person attending a pirate name. So instead of to Simon, you would could say to Blackbeard... Give them instructions that there will be a pirate gathering at the party where you will meet other pirates and you must only call them by their pirate names. If they don’t call them by their pirate names at the party there will be a forfeit. The forfeit being either downing a shot of rum or talking like a pirate for one minute. We have designed a FREE pirate invitation that you can print out if you don't have time to create the above. This works just as well but doesn't look as effective as the above method. Check out our video for a step by step guide on how to achevie the aabove look.

Create Pirate Drinking Bottles

Collect all sorts of shaped glass bottles, cider and beer bottles are the best, start collecting these a few weeks before your party. You will need to sterilise them and wash thouraly, remove all of the labels from the bottles. If you have some address labels for letters use these to create a space to write individual pirate names on each bottle. Make the look old/vintage in a similar way to the above. You now have some authentic glasses for your pirate party and the best thing is there’s no washing up afterwards. (See the video below for a more detailed guide of what to do)

There are loads of other ways you can themed your party. If you are making the food yourself a buffet can be great as you can simply change the name of normal food like pineapple on a stick is now called pineapple on swords for the night or onion bhajies are now called spicy cannon balls. Scatter gold chocolate coins around the table to look likr treasure.

Decorate the room with pirate bunting, take a look at our website www.thefilmcell.com for loads of pirate themed decorations and fancy dress accessories.

If you want something to do at the event other than acting like a pirate and drinking all night. There are loads of pirate games you can play. Pin the eye patch on the pirate, pin the cross on the treasure map or even pin the flag on the pirate ship. Pass the cannon ball is a pirte version of pass the parcel, inbetween each layer add a chocolate coin as pirate treasure. For adults pass the cannon ball is where players line up in teams and pass a black balloon (cannon ball) from person to person just using their knees. Finally you could organise a treasure hunt, make a map in the same way you made your invites and give clues to take your guests on a hunt around the house.
