...heading into another geek group with Clash - the zealot Greek-mythology clan. Are you ready for the purist storm? Ours isn't a history lesson. We set out to make a fun roller-coaster kind of ride. If we were really doing it for the history buffs, Perseus would be naked. I don't think anyone would want to see me like that...
...screens in North American theaters are currently equipped to show movies in the suddenly megafashionable format, and though theater chains are scrambling to convert more screens, they and the studios still feel the shortage. This weekend there will be an unprecedented 3-D-theater traffic jam as Clash of the Titans joins last week's box-office champ How to Train Your Dragon and the Disney blockbuster Alice in Wonderland.

There looks to be no congestion of screens for the rest of the year as there is this week...
Like the wailing of the Stygian witches, the critical cry has arisen against Clash of the Titans. This mythological epic, starring Avatar's Sam Worthington as the ancient adventurer Perseus, has endured a typhoon of negative reviews, for four reasons. One: After shooting the picture in the traditional format, the filmmakers slapped on 3-D effects at the last minute. Two: Director Louis Leterrier and his team dared to remake the 1981 original, replacing stop-motion genius Ray Harryhausen's handcrafted creatures - Medusa, the Kraken, the giant scorpions, etc. - with computer-generated ones. Three: The new picture reduces the role...
