Nuggets from the Nugget: “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Clash of the Titans”
"How to Train Your Dragon" is the early movie all week at Telluride's Nugget Theatre. It is rated PG but viewer reviews indicate that even young kids are enjoying the movie, and the critics mostly agree. Animation, a too-smart boy, an injured dragon... Sounds like a good family evening.
Perseus has his job cut out for him: the mortals have had it with dealing with the whims of the gods on Olympus. "Clash of the Titans" (PG-13) is Homer on steroids. Zeus has given him a number of tasks, as readers of Greek mythology will remember: capturing Pegasus, dealing with Medusa, etc. Roger Ebert liked it- good enough for me.
