Movies to hit the cinemas soon!
Green Zone
 Discovering covert and faulty intelligence causes a U.S. Army officer
to go rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable
region. In ‘Green Zone’ director Paul Greengrass brings the frenetic,
run-and-gun style with which he utterly transformed the movie thriller
in the Jason Bourne series to a different kind of thriller, one with a
sharper political edge.
Iraq mostly has been a nonstarter at the box office, but this is Matt
Damon, Greengrass and the “Bourne” team reunited on another breathless
venture into ticking-clock urgency. So Universal should easily overcome
that hurdle to rack up considerable theatrical coin in North America and
overseas.
Iron Man 2
 The world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert
Downey Jr.) is the armoured superhero Iron Man. Under pressure from the
government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the
military,
Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armour
because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With
Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhody” Rhodes (Don Cheadle)
at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new
forces.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Lightning Thief
 Percy Jackson is a teenager who has dyslexia, ADHD and father issues.
He soon discovers that he is a demi-god (half human, half god) and that
his father is one of the top three gods: Poseidon. Percy sets out on a
quest to rescue his mother from the underworld and along the way
encounters classic mythological creatures and trials. Percy Jackson’s
character has a lot of potential as a demi-god and the adventures he can
go on in the future could be exciting to see. Chris Columbus does a
really good job of taking these kids books and then turning them into
films, which is really not an easy feat. Granted, he has practice with
this sort of thing since he got the Harry Potter franchise started.
Whether or not Percy Jackson merits a number of sequels remains to be
seen. |
