Percy Jackson & The Olympians The Lightning Theif

Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman)has a HUGE problem, hes been accused of steeling Zeus's (Sean Bean)ever so precious lightning bolt. Who would ever do such a thing. Watch this amazing film to find out why and how!

Ever wonder what its like being the son or daughter of a God-- a demigod? Percy Jackson is one of them, without knowing it until his mother Sally Jackson (Catherine Keener)takes him ti a camp called Halfboold hill; where all demigods, satyrs, nymphs, and mermaids stay for the whole year round or just for the summer. While he was rushing on his way there with his mother and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson)--Percy's best friend-- they got attacked by a minotaur (an animal 1/4 human and 3/4 bull). It "killed" Percy's mother, or so he thought.

He got to Halfblood Hill where everyone immediantley knew who he was, son of Posiden(Kevin McKidd). As soon as he gets settled in, he was offered a quest that he decides to take. Percy has to find return a lightning bolt to Zeus. One of the places that Percy decides to look for the lightning blot is the underworld, that's where he decides to try and get his mother back. He only has a certain amount of days. Come and watch him and his friends battle Medusa and try and kill off a three headed monster, and many more exiting things.

I like how the director (Chris Columbus) made Grover (as well as Percys friend his protector)bring out his character more in the movie rather than in the book. He had more of a personality when Percy discovers that hes a satyr--half goat on the bottom half of him.

One thing I don't like about this movie is that they should of paid more attention to how the characters looked. In the book Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario)(daughter of Athena ans Percy's friend)had Honey comb blond colored hair and in the movie its brunette.

I really recommend this movie to people who love adventure and fantasy.I also think that it can be summed up in one word, fantastic!

Frog Kisses

A dissertation on The princess and the Frog

Would you kiss a frog I know I wouldn't? Come and watch this wonderful movie packed full of funny and even scary moments, with loads of suspense throughout them.

Tiana, a little girl with a big dream. Comes from family a of a mother who's a tailor and a father who works three jobs just to keep his family going.

Tianas got a big dream, one shes been saving for her whole life. She wants to run a restaurant and make gumball for everyone. But mostly to fill her fathers dream.

She wishes on a star to get her restaurant. A frog, she sees one sitting on the balcony. Next thing you know he's asking her to kiss him, and says he's prince Naveene and will turn into a handsome prince if she does so. Doubting herself she finally does kiss him.

"EEWWW, I'm a frog, and I'm covered in slime," Tiana shouts.

"Actually, its mucus," prince Naveene (still a frog) clarifies.

Tiana and Prince Naveene have heard about a 197 year old priestess named Mama Odie who lives deep in the bayou, might be able to help.

Theresa a catch, Fcilier, who changed prince Naveene into a frog. A man who performs dark magic's has called the dark things from the other side to help capture them.

On their way they make friends with a trumpet blowing alligator named Louis and a firefly named Ray: who is crazy in love with the brightest star at night, Evangeline. Will all four of them get to Mama Odie in time, or will the dark shadows from the other side beat catch them?

I like how the directors/animators, John Musker and Ron Clemets, made this movie more modern, but still with that fairy tale taste. Not with Huge castles and princesses that need a hair cut or always loosing their shoes; but with places and characters and moments you can relate to.

The voice of Tiana (Anika noni Rose) really puts in lots of effort in to it.

"I WILL NEVER, EVER KISS A FROG," she says when she was little, just after her mother her mother reads her an original story, The Princess and the Frog.

I think that this movie is great for anyone and everyone to watch, with its dark magic, and its fairy tale feeling. It pulls you into Tianas world, and as you watch you can relate. This movie is summed up with one word, fantastic.
