caught up with cott - clash of the titans!

Yep folks, happy to confirm our membership into the ‘worst parents club!’
Instead of encouraging our suputri to study for her upcoming AS-A level exams, we enticed her to ditch her prep, to indulge in this old couple’s trip to fantasy land – that’s the story behind us 3 idiots watching ‘clash of the titans!’
Goo d news for the ladies – the blue paint’s off & Sam Worthington, in his Perseus avatar, is still smoking hot!



Some moments of tension/excitement, caused by him wearing the shortest mini skirts known to mankind! Every time he bent, I worried that we may get to see more than allowed – on second thoughts, what’s wrong with me? I should say, enjoyed every bit of it!
Ralph Fiennes rocks again – after playing the chilling Voldermot in the Hari Putter series, his evil, floating, dark portrayal of “Hades” is a worthy follow up act!
Can’t say the same for Liam Nieeson as Zeus – don’t get me wrong – I signed & sealed my approval of this gr8 actor, post “Schindler’s List”, to my all time comfort movie, “Love Actually”. But somehow, not so impressive as a God – maybe hez too mortal!
Lotsa action with demonic, dark creatures, Perseus’s band of not so merry men & of course, Medusa (who disappointed for not being scary enuff) & the final frontier, saving Andromeda from the fierce dragon!
For the guys, there’s Gemma Arterton, as Perseus' spiritual guide, throughout his journey. Methinks, because she was drop dead gorgeous, the director conveniently converted the guru into girlfriend, with Perseus & her, walking towards the sunset & hopefully, living happily ever after!
Doubt: who will wear the pants in this relationship – will Perseus finally shed his mini skirt, or Gemma, her Grecian gown?!
