Perseus is the son of Zeus, his […]

I’ve mentioned it before, but I think that it is funny that within a month of each other there will be two films based in Greek mythological characters, both starring a hero named Perseus. I’ve now seen Percy Jackson, and it wasn’t great, but it was worth watching. I’m hoping that Clash of the Titans […]
