CGI action flicks, go for a good drama. Each episode of BBC's Sherlock is essentially a short movie, and quite possibly the best TV currently available. And speaking of other "Hobbit" cast members, Richard Armitage (Thorin) is actually really quite good in the BBC rendition of "North and South", just don't watch it without cuddling up to your HCBW or your man-card would be at risk.

Maybe you need to look at other genres?
