I quite liked the original Percy Jackson film. It was a fun twist on the Harry Potter formula, swopping wands for lightning and examining what it would be like to be the son of an Olympian deity. With a sequel on the way, director OdinSon director Thor Freudenthal has a chance to skip the exposition and get down to adventurin’ business. Even …

When the end of the world comes, I’m probably inviting none of y’all into my tin foil super-bunker! Still, I’m not the only survivalist out there, and we’ll most likely meet in Thunderdome when we battle to the death over some AA batteries and an MP3 player loaded with ZZ Top songs.

But every good run has …
