"Clash of the Titans" is a retelling of the legend of Perseus. After Zeus (Laurence Oliver) deforms her son Calibos, Thetis (Maggie Smith) takes out her frustrations on his mortal son Perseus (Harry Hamlin).

"Chicago" (2002)
Ahh, the Roarin' 20's. And where better to experience the 1920's than Chicago, right? Did the 20's actually occur anywhere else?

"Alien vs Predator" & "Alien vs Predator: Requiem"
I wish we owned other Alien and Predator movies. We own "Prometheus" and "Predators", which we will be watching later on in the P's. So for now we're watching "AvP: Alien vs Predator" and "AvPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem" Yep, they seriously tried to trend the titles up by starting them with the acronyms. So the second one has TWO subtitles! Snazzy!

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"
Based off a book of the same name, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is the untold story of Abraham Lincoln's night job as a vampire hunter. It sounds ridiculous, but it is a rather fun movie. Most people wrote this off as a goofy and campy retelling of history, but it is not. There is no "goofy and campy", and is a solid action/horror movie. They manage to fit most everything that happens into his actual history, so nothing is as crazy as one might think.

Welcome to the Collection
![]() |
| The movie collection you have the pleasure of hearing my prattle on about. |
We love movies. And as you can see, we have a large collection of movies with varying degrees of quality and popularity. . We have our movies split up into several categories: Comics, Kids/Family, Muppets, Tolkien/Narnia/Star Wars, and Everything Else. We also have a pretty small anime collection and some TV series. Chances are I will not be reviewing either of those sections in this blog. All-in-all, we have somewhere around 400 titles.
