Nuggets from the Nugget: “Lightning Thief” and “The Hurt Locker”

18 Mar Nuggets from the Nugget: “Lightning Thief” and “The Hurt Locker”

The movies this week at Telluride's Nugget Theatre are "The Hurt Locker" and "Lightning Thief" with a special showing of Academy Award-nominated "Invictus" on Thursday, March 25. "Invictus" is presented by the Telluride Film Festival.

"Lightning Thief" (rated PG) is Greek mythology brought into modern America and concerns a lad saving his mother and returning Zeus' lightning bolt. By the way, Zeus is the boy's father.

The Oscars were good for "The Hurt Locker" (rated R) as the movie picked up six awards. The story is about combat bomb squad volunteers, and probably has a bit of violence.

 On Thursday, March 25, the Telluride Film Festival presents "Invictus" which earned Oscar nominations for Morgan Freeman (as Nelson Mandela) and Matt Damon.
