Since I have no girlfriend, I decided to spend this Valentine's Day in a movie theatre, treating myself to a double feature. First, the apply named, star-studded, romantic comedy Valentine's Day. Second, the totally NOT Harry Potter with Greek mythology Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief.
Valentine's Day
This movie is basically one of those day-in-the-life-of movies, hence the abundance of stars like Jessica Alba, Aston Kutcher, George Lopez, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Taylor Lautner, Emma Roberts, Taylor Swift, Jamie Foxx, and so on. Different characters have different stuff going on coincidentally on Valentine's Day, Aston Kutcher and George Lopez are florists, Anne Hathaway is trying to date someone while she pays the bills as a phone sex operator, Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift play a high school couple, the list goes on.
This is a hilarious movie. I may not have been in a relationship, but I still love seeing them portrayed on screen. Funny as Hell.
Percy Jackson & the...
I've never read the books but it does "sound" interesting, it is essentially Harry Potter crossed with Greek mythology (contrary to the first paragraph).
Somebody stole Zeus' lightening shaft thing and everyone thinks the culprit is Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon. After being attacked by a Fury, Percy is sent to a special school camp for demigods called Camp Hogwarts.. I mean, Half Blood. Percy's mom is captured by Hades so NOT Harry, NOT Ron, and NOT Hermione go on a fetch quest to get her back.
It was alright, nothing special. Though I do have one main gripe.
IT'S HERACLES YOU MORONS!!!
I just have to say a few things about the Lightning Thief. 1) It sucked. 2)It majorly sucked. 3) Did not follow the story line the way movies usually do, since MOST OF THE STORY PLOT WAS MISSING!!!!! 4) You want to know what really happened? Read the book. Then the rest of the series. 5) Post a review on youtube about it, mention how it sucked, how the moviemakers did not even put the BIGGEST DETAIL OF ALL IN THE MOVIE, and if you could please, mention my comment on the vid. I literally could go on for hours about how bad it was, how it differs from the book, etc. Not worth watching. EVER!
