'Percy Jackson' and 'Wolfman' Open Today



Two highly anticipated movies come out today: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and The Wolfman.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is based on the novel The Lightning Thief, the first book in the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, by author Rick Riordan. A teenager named Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) discovers that he's the demigod son of the Greek god, Poseidon (Kevin McKidd). He embarks on a journey across modern-day America with his friends Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario), the demigod daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood (Brandon T. Jackson), a satyr, to save his mother (Catherine Keener), return Zeus' (Sean Bean) stolen lightning bolt, and prevent a war between the gods.

The Wolfman is a remake of the 1941 classic horror film of the same name. The film stars Benicio del Toro as Lawrence Talbot (and the Wolfman), Anthony Hopkins as his father, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving and Geraldine Chaplin.

We hope everyone enjoys their long, Valentine's Day weekend!
