Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson & the OlympiansIt’s the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson’s Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they’re not happy: Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy’s mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy’s mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

There are “special someones” in your life who expect to receive romantic gifts from their lovers.

Women are under pressure to have a man, or they feel desperate and unloved. “Valentine’s Day” follows the lives of several couples during this day. Their stories are told through the interconnections they have with each other. Some will find romance in their relationship, and others will feel the heartbreak of ending a relationship.

Nisos

NisosEverything looks calm and peaceful in the closed society of an island when the childless ‘Lord’ of the island dies in the most unexpected and inexplicable way thus leaving behind an immense property and everyone wondering who is going to be the chosen to inherit all this money. His will, however, does not come without surprises, one of them being that his fortune can only be shared among the four “estates” of the village, i.e., to those four that old man Dikaios did not even want to set eyes on: the president, the police officer, the teacher and the local priest of the community. On one condition will they be entitled to the property; the four letters corresponding to each and every one of them will be read in public within a week. This leaves islanders suspecting and blaming each other. Stories from the past come to light, all four of them have something to be afraid of or hide thus eventually betraying themselves. This is where constant accusations and tragi-comic incidents start occurring. Indicative cases such as these of fatherless children, unsolved crimes, gambling and and illicit antiquities trade, an ex-porn star, terrorists, heterosexual and homosexual affairs and an abundance of other “activities” previously well-hidden, now come to light one after the other. On top of everything else, one day before the deadline expires, the dead body of a person who seems to know just as much as old man Dikaios did, is found floating at a remote beach of the island. The president, the policeman, the teacher and the priest are the four main suspects…

The Book of Eli

The Book of EliIn the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth – all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water… or for nothing at all. But they’re no match for this traveler. A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It’s not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive – and continue. Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make his own: Carnegie, the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen.
