Clash of the Titans was a movie that I had greatly anticipated because I love ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Really I love ancient Greek and Roman history as a whole but especially the mythology because the stories are just so interesting. There are plenty of twists and plot turns as the gods get mixed up with men.

The main character Perseus was played by Sam Worthington who has become a very noted actor of late. I first saw him, though I did not know who he was, in the movie Terminator Salvation. He played the hybrid human Terminator mix where he had the metal endo skeleton but also a human beating heart and other actual human organs.

He was also the main character on the number one movie of all-time Avatar. So this guy has been busy and he’s become a megastar seemingly overnight. I don’t know his story but I’m sure it’s been a long time building toward his current success.

So he plays Perseus the great demigod hero who is the son of Zeus and a king Akresius’ wife. King Akresius, who had challenged the gods, was being punished. But more on that later….

At the start of the movie Perseus is with his family sailing on a ship when they across the Army or Argos which is being defiant of the gods. Perseus and his family don’t know what’s going on but the Army casts a statue of one of the gods into the sea and a great battle between them and the minions of the gods ensues.

The lowly Perseus and his family ship is damaged and sinks. Predictably, his family drowns even though he dives in the water to save them because he was cast off the ship when it capsized. Of course, all his family drowns despite his best efforts and ability to hold his breath way longer than possible. Guess it’s one of Perseus’ demigod powers.

And so we believe the hero’s journey has begun. But that is not the case because there is more to be revealed. Io his watcher, who is a demigod herself, tells him the true story of how he was conceived and who his real family was.

King Akresius was being defiant of the gods and had raised an army years ago. The gods want to destroy him and his army but Zeus took mercy. Instead, he disguised himself as the king and visited the king’s wife to impregnate her. This is when Perseus was conceived.

King Akresius was of course outraged at this discovery and cast his wife with child growing inside her belly into the ocean. But one of Perseus gifts as a demigod is that he can hold his breath for a long time and so somehow he was spared though we weren’t shown how this happened. Maybe Zeus protected him. But the queen drowned.

So now the two journey is on as our hero knows who he is and what he must do. Io tells him that he was born to kill the Kraken and stop the tyranny the Gods had perpetrated on man for all these centuries.

So he goes on a wild adventure with mythical creatures like gigantic scorpion looking things, crazy half man half demon looking dudes, wastelands and lush forest settings, and then of course the obligatory trip into the underworld to defy Hades. (Hades is the one who killed his family’s ship by sinking it)

All in all it was a rollicking tale and I highly recommend it. Even if you’re not as big a fan of Greek mythology as I am this is a tremendous action adventure movie that will get your pulse racing, hold your attention, and leave you wanting more.

Toward the end one of the main characters dies and then there’s a twist of an ending which leaves it open for a sequel. We can only hope they do make the sequel. I feel there’s a decent chance because the movie’s been number 1 for the last 2 straight weeks and is making lots of money.

There were more revelations on this week’s episode of Lost. This one focused on Desmond and how he is now back on the island. It appears he was drugged and taken against his will on to the island.

It was later revealed in the episode that yes, Charles Whidmore, Desmond’s old nemesis had brought him back to the island against his will.

But it wasn’t just some malicious thing to get him away from Penny, Whidmore’s daughter.

Charles is truly afraid of the black smoke getting off of the island. It seems we are led to believe that this black smoke is the actual devil and if he is able to break out of the prison that is the island which holds him that he will destroy the world.

What remains unclear is if he is the devil and so powerful why does he need the help of these people, these survivors to get off the island? Isn’t he powerful enough to just break whatever chains are holding him to the island and get off himself?

They’ve hinted at it a couple of times that he needs all of the people on the list for some reason. The reason is still yet to be revealed.

I’m speculating that maybe if all of the caretakers still on the list publicly and verbally give up their caretaker rights position that perhaps the bonds which hold the black smoke will be broken.

And it was also revealed the devil or the John Locke character is going to unleash Claire to do whatever she wants with Kate once he has broken free of the island. The ominous quote was “once we’re off the island whatever happens to her happnes”.

But back to Charles Whidmore. He needed Desmond because Desmond is the only one who has survived an electromagnetic event the size that the island is capable of producing. So he ruthlessly uses him as a test monkey or lab rat and subjects him to a major electromagnetic pulse which has just killed one of Charles’ own men inadvertently.

Of course Desmond survives and then is made to be a believer in the cause of keeping the black smoke caged. Some strange things happened during the electromagnetic pulse which he does not know whether they were all hallucinations or actual memories. A glimpse of what his life is like since the survivors and Daniel Whidmore set off a nuclear bomb at the end of last season were revealed during his harrowing time in the electromagnetic field.

I won’t do a complete spoiler at the episode is definitely worth watching.

The lost TV show has captured my interest since the very beginning in the premiere episode when the plane first crashed on the now infamous island.

The latest episode in this final season six of Lost delves more deeply into the Richard Alpert character. We learn more about his past and exactly why he appears to be immortal and never ages.

Back in 1867 on the Canary Islands he was married and is roughly the same age as he appears throughout all years of the show even when the main characters were time traveling. There was a situation he got himself into where his wife was sick, he needed medicine, couldn’t afford it, and went to the local doctor to get it.

It was a long ride on horseback and he was under extreme time constraints. To make matters worse he didn’t have enough money to buy the medicine and he and the doctor got in a struggle and the doctor ended up dead.

So Richard was sent to prison and ended up on a boat which is how he landed on the island. He runs into the black smoke demon character who attempts to persuade him to kill Jacob in much the same way that the Japanese leader of the Temple told Sayed he should kill the black smoke guy. The irony here is delicious.

The instructions are the same, “Take this knife and stab it right through his chest and into his heart. Don’t let him speak because if you let him say a word it’s already too late”.

Of course, Jacob ambushes Richard and starts talking to him before he even has a chance to stab Jacob. Then it gives an in-depth explanation about the island’s origins and how Richard came to be the way he is.

I won’t go into the full details because it’s an episode you should definitely watch. Lost season six is heating up and I’m going to be sad to see the TV show have its series finale in May.
