Great movies besides Lightning Thief
First topic message reminder :
ok so almost everyone has probably seen The lightning Thief by now. Some other movies that you may suggest can be posted under this topic. **We would appreciate it if you also post what it is about (a plot or a summary) and the rating for it.(PG, G, PG-13...)
Here are some great movies I've seen:
Avatar: rated PG-13
When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic
Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant
world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker
Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in
order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich
woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs,
Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by
gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate
the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake
begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the
beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his
ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand -
and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
The Blind Side: Rated PG-13
"The Blind Side" depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless
African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys,
a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the
same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some
insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new
environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to
overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with
the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American
offensive left tackle.
The Spy Next Door: rated PG
Bob Ho, a Chinese spy working with the CIA to stop a man named Poldark.
He's been posing as an importer and has been dating his neighbor,
Gillian, a single mother with 3 children. When Bob captures Poldark, he
retires from the spy game. He wants to make a commitment to Gillian but
her children are not exactly warming up to him. When Gillian has to go
out of town Bob offers to take care of the kids while she's away, which
proves to be no easy task. At the same time, Poldark somehow escapes.
It's apparent that some in the Agency helped him. At the same time
Colton one of Bob's associates at the CIA asks him to look at something
that Poldark had on him that appears to encrypted, hoping he can crack
it.When the children break into his home to see what they can find out
about him, they find the file and download it. And when they try to
open it, Poldark tracks it down and sends his people to take care of
Ho. Bob manages to deal with them and then takes the children and goes
on the run.
2012: rated PG-13
When the geologist Dr. Adrian Helmsley and his team discover that the
core of Earth is heating due to solar radiation, he advises the North
American President about his findings. The American Govern collects
money from the worldwide leaders to build arks to save them with
necessary people to rebuild civilization. Meanwhile, the unsuccessful
writer Jackson Curtis discloses that the world is near to end and tries
to save his son and his daughter from the tragic end.
hope you could post some more soon!!

Avatar was brilliant, I thought it should've won the Oscar, no offence to anyone but the Hurt Locker was rubbish.

Re: Great movies besides Lightning Thief
I saw How To Train Your Dragon with my little brother, and I have to say it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The story was predictable and the characters weren't very interesting. Unfortunately I didn't see it in 3D so I couldn't enjoy awesome 3D flying scenes either, which was a bummer. In terms of animated films like that, I would recommend The Incredibles, which I absolutely loved. And Finding Nemo, ofcourse.
Avatar is amazing, though probably best seen at a cinema for the full experience.

Seemed like a good movie, though seems more like a sequel than a stand-alone movie.

Re: Great movies besides Lightning Thief
First of all according to Boxofficemojo when I checked, this morning it has been pushed back to the 29th of June. It will definately be the top selling new release of the week, seeing as its biggest competition is Hot tub Time machine.
Even if it is released on the 22nd of June, it probably will still be the top seller of the new releases that week, though there will be competition from Green Zone, and The Last Station. However talking about overall out of all movies top selling, there is a chance but there is extremelly big competition from DVDs like Avatar, and Alice in Wonderland.
