Clash Of The Titans 2010


Clash of the titans (2010) is directed by a french director named Louis Leterrier. On the poster above it says that the release date is March 26th, but the date was changed to April 2nd because they decided to make a 3D version of the movie, which isn't a bad idea at all. Sam Worthington (Avatar) stars as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, Alexa Davalos (Chronicles of Riddick) as Andromeda, and many more.

Perseus is a demigod, a half-blood hero of Greek mythology, son of Zeus raised by human beings. In the picture above, you can see him with the Stygian witches. Zeus is the king, the leader of all gods, therefore the most powerful. This immense power is what Hades, the god of the underworld is after, and he's willing to unleash all kinds of creatures from hell on the surface of the earth in order to reach his goal. Perseus' mission in this fantasy-adventure movie is to keep Hades from realizing his evil plans. Along his path, he will have to face monsters, demons, and all kinds of traps that will be set to stop him.

The most famous of these monsters are Medusa and the famous Kraken, which I'm sure you heard of even if you didn't know the story because of Zeus' famous phrase: "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!" in the trailers of the 2010 movie. The Kraken has always been one of the most famous monsters of the most famous monsters of the movie. Unlike the big scary one you've seen in the trailer, in the first version of the movie, it looked like a giant gorilla with four arms:

The lack of realistic special effects is probably the reason why they decided to release a remake of the 1981 version. Some people thought it was a very good idea, while some got very angry. But at the end of the day, the clash of the titans seems to be a very popular movie so far. At the end of the movie, Andromeda will be held prisoner, and Perseus will have to get past the gigantic Kraken to save the princess in distress.

Edward "Teddy" Daniels: Crazy Or Sane?


After watching Shutter Island, EVERYONE is asking the SAME question: IS TEDDY DANIELS SANE OR INSANE????????? Well, at the end of the movie, Teddy did find out that his gun was a plastic gun, which would mean that he wasn't really a marshall. BUT the doctors could've easily replaced his real gun with a toy and handed it to him, right? However, the anagrams shown to him by the bald guy were pretty convincing. Also, it really made sense when the bald guy made a link between the dreams Teddy was having and the true story of his life.

But let's "read between the lines"; first there's this scene where Teddy and his partner were interviewing the patients...while they were interviewing the lady who was sent to the island for axing her husband, she wrote something on Teddy's notepad. It said "RUN". This was probably a warning...and let's not forget that she asked Teddy's partner for a glass of water...she probably did that because she knew that Teddy's partner was an accomplice of the bald guy and the other doctors, and she wanted to warn Teddy that he had to get off the island ASAP.

Oh and let's also not forget the part where Teddy found Rachel Solando - the real one - in the cave. It's true that Teddy was having hallucinations, but I doubt that Rachel was one of them. Rachel explained to him the reason why he was having all his hallucinations, and the reason why his hands were shaking uncontrollably. She told him that it was because of the pills and the cigarettes that were given to him on the island, and NOT because he was CRAZY or because he was ANDREW LAEDDIS like the bald guy was trying to convince him at the end of the movie. Rachel told him that she was a nurse before on the island and that she started suspecting that there was some brainwashing going on...she wanted to expose this brainwashing secret to be able to bring a stop to it - just like Teddy wanted to do - but when the doctors estimated that she went too far, they made everyone think that she was crazy and made her become a patient, pretending that she had killed her three kids... Well there apparently are a LOT of other convincing details that I haven't noticed...probably cause I fell asleep in the middle lol XD...not that it was boring but I was tired from a whole week of work...Anyways, if my post wasn't helpful enough, you can always check out more detailed ones...Thanks
