So now that we've got the story of Perseus, we'll see how the other Greek mythology tale is going to pan out. As I've outlined in the Battle of the Greek Mythologies and an updated news item on this project, this one centers on Theseus. He's a demigod (half-god, half-man), the son of mortal parents …

This edition's of Everyone's a Critic's series happen to be movies that exceeds the reviewers' expectation. In fact, Mike was practically baffled why Remember Me had gotten such terrible reviews – which at 28% is exactly the same Tomatometer as Twilight Saga: New Moon.
