When In Rome & Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

When In Rome Synopsis: Disillusioned with romance during her whirlwind trip to Rome, an ambitious New Yorker defiantly swipes a few magic coins from a "foolish" wishing fountain, inadvertently igniting the passions of a motley crew of suitors as she's pursued by a handsome reporter with charm to spare. Beth (Kristen Bell) is at a point in her life where love seems like a luxury she just can't afford. Years of waiting for that perfect romance has made Beth bitter, and one day, while vacationing in Rome, she cynically plucks a handful of coins from a local fountain of love. Almost immediately thereafter, Beth finds herself fending off the advances of a diminutive sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a lanky street magician (Jon Heder), a doting painter (Will Arnett), and a narcissistic male model (Dax Shepard). Meanwhile, a smitten reporter (Josh Duhamel) does his best to convince Beth that true love isn't just a topic of fairy tales and romance novels.

My review: I thought this movie was adorable. It was a really funny movie and it keep me laughing through out the movie. I love the ending to this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. It's worth it. I give it a 5/5.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Synopsis: Trouble-prone Percy Jackson is having problems in high school - but that's the least of his challenges. It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus seem to have walked out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology texts and into more »his life. Percy has learned that his real father is Poseidon, god of the sea, which means Percy is a demigod - half human, half god. At the same time, the powerful gods on Olympus are feuding, which could launch a war enveloping our entire planet.

My reviews: When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought "OMG, this is going to be a good movie." I couldn't wait to watch it. So when I watched it, I wasn't exactly disappointed, I just thought it'll be different. I read reviews on it and it was a mixture of both good and bad. So I thought I'll watch it since the trailer was so good. It wasn't that this movie was awful, it wasn't that. It was that it was just okay. There are moments when you kind of just sit there and said "huh???". There are tons of actions and some funny parts. Overall this was just an okay movie. I give this movie a 3/5.

I'm thinking about watching "Dear John" and "Valentine's Day". I heard they were really good. I guess we'll see what happen.

Enjoy!
