New movie 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief"

I am sure that alot of you have seen and/or read this series. I myself after debating reading, just started last week and am almost halfway thru the first book. And it is absolutely amazing! It is a wonderful blend of the modern world and the greek myths. Except in this series...the myths are real. Which makes it all the more interesting. Most especially for people who love Greek Mythology.

The first book of the highly acclaimed series has been made into a feature film and is set to be released on February 12, 2010. Since my words cannot describe this wonderful book, I will let you read the synopsys written by 20th Century Fox:

It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
