...threat of a British Airways strike boding poorly for my return to the US. Unlike my blockmates, I did absolutely no research before leaving. What was the national language? Or food? Or rapist population? I had no idea. Was I staying in a crack den? The price tag certainly seemed to indicate it. I told my mom we’d be going to cultural sites.

The film continues as a quest tale as Perseus travels to defeat various demons, monsters, and mythical creatures accompanied by his team of rag-tag misfits, including four soldiers either too young or too old to fight, two wacky ethnic hunters, a magical man made of living tree bark, and a mysterious immortal who has watched Perseus since birth...

(Granted, the car-fee hike theoretically could be used to enhance public transit.) Rubio, meanwhile, touted his effort as speaker to eliminate property taxes and replace that lost revenue with...
