     "The Adventures of Tintin" directed by Stephen Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson will arrive in theatres on Dec.21. The movie based on a series of classic comic books created by Belgian artist Georges Remi, who wrote under the pen name of  Herge'. The movie is being described as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" meets "Pirates of the Carribean". No surprise since the comic books were themselves inspired by the same kind of adventure stories that also served as inspiration for both of those movies.
