What's Happening This Week is a new segment on Cowabunga Corner that will take a look at what is coming up this week in movies and television, and not just Ninja Turtles. We'll not only cover upcoming releases for Blu-Rays and DVDs, but also what is coming to theaters and to your home. This isn't a full review of any particular item, but just a general synopsis of what's coming up for you to be on the look out to see. As time goes by, this segment may increase into more products such as toys, video games, books, music and who knows what else!

Please make sure to comment below about what you are excited to see and if there were any other items we missed that you want to see!

In the meantime, let's find out what's happening this week!

Middle Earth once again is brought to life on the big screen in Peter Jackson’s newest film “The Hobbit”.  Based on the book, Peter went in and brought the characters to life and on a roller coaster of adventures.  I was thrilled when we got tickets to this movie.  With knowing how great the Lord of the Ring saga was, I knew this was a not to miss movie.  I have not read the books, though I have seen the old animated movie of the Hobbit, a long time ago, which I barely remember.  So my review of this film is from the mind of someone new to the story and not comparing to the book.
