Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters - Movie Review

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is directed by a man named Thor who has previously made movies about a wimpy kid and a hotel for dogs. Sounds legit, right? This sequel to the not so successful first installment of the Percy Jackson franchise features acting performances (sort of) by Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, and Leven Rambin. Okay, we also get Stanley Tucci and Nathan Fillion just so there's at least a couple people you may have heard of before.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" is the final installment of what is known as phase one in an ongoing series of movies created by Marvel Studios that are all filled with characters from their amazing roster of comic book super heroes.

The Hunger Games - Movie Review

"The World Will be Watching" is a very appropriate slogan for a movie that goes in to its release date with a huge built in fan base that has devoured a story originally presented over three best selling novels.

With high expectations firmly in place, the movie's success will depend on big box office numbers and that means recreating a story that will please both fans of the books and also those, like myself, that know virtually nothing about the story going in.

First, I will tell you a bit about the story before you decide if it is worthy of your attention.
