"Tolkien & Lewis," which centers on the author's relationship with his University of Oxford colleague C.S. Lewis, joins Fox Searchlight's "Tolkien" and is aiming to court the faith-based audience with an Easter release.

Hmm. The Fox Searchlight film sounds like it might be worth a look.

    all them "Game of Thrones" fans!"
