next week on Tuesday Nut!:lol: My Music Teacher's face was hilarious--->:wtf::vulcan::cardie::klingon:

And my face--->:shifty::angel:

I do want to watch Percy Jackson but it wasn't released yet:scream: I don't care if she is there just 5 minutes, i only care Melina was happy doing this and nobody could have a more perfect Athena:thumbsup:

I agree with you, Van, this role won´t be much of a help for Melina to eventually trigger off her career on big screen, though I assume that she probably played it mostly for the fun of it. But I´ll continue to hope that one day she´ll really get a great big major role in a great big motion picture

I don't loose my faith on this too And i hope she will get one BIG so very big as she deserves But TV is also an amazing place to make a successful career so in any place she is, i will be watching!:thumbsup: (well, that's my opinion anyway. I love TV over Big Screen

Van-->

I LOVE the Bonnie Hunt clip!!! Seriously, forgive my choice of words but this must be the cutest sh!t I've ever seen!! :adore: :adore: Oh, I LOVE Melina... :adore: :adore: I never get tired of watching her, listening to her stories, her sweet laughter

Hello everyone. This is my 1st time posting here helloo.

Has anyone seen Percy Jackson and the Olympians : The Lightning Thief? I thought it was a good movie and I thought Melina played her character well...

Hey Stellarinas!

Andromeda or shall I call you NUT? :lol: (just kidding )

I wonder if there´s also so little of Athena in the first book, or if the script writers changed her into almost non-existant, and I wonder if there´s more of Athena in the other books, which should then mean that there´d be more of her in the sequel movies- IF there will be a sequel and IF Melina can be bothered to play Athena again . Those guys here who read the books, could you enlighten me please, thanks? :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, that would be great! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't read any of the books :lol:

Jo! I mean, me too, I'll never lose hope and faith either! Nothing can change the fact that Melina's an aweseome, very talented actress and she'll get her chance to shine like she does on TV week after week!:thumbsup:

Shippy!!!
You are so right, Melina is the most amazing person! :adore: And her mom and aunt seem so sweet too, her whole family does! :adore: No wonder she became the wonderful, awesome person she is now :adore:

Deeeeeebbbiiieeee sweetie!! So nice to see you!

Absolutely! Argh, I don't know what to do. Of course I want to see it too but I'm not sure and I still don't have anyone to watch it with (except my dear mother).. ahh, we'll see.

Yeah, you can bet I'll watch anything she is in, too! I love her way too much :adore:

I bet Stella kicked Mac's butt on the track That's my girl!:lol:

Haha, yeah she must have won! :lol: Greeks always win! And fb-Stella said she did! :lol:

gab94bee - yeah I bet she sounded funny with that accent! :lol: I can't even blame her because when I try to talk with a British accent I sound like I'm making fun of myself! :lol: I can do it but I have to try very hard :lol: I better stick with my mix of American and Canadian :lol:

In rethinking my view of the film I should point out that I think it was just disappointment that made me have such a negative view of it. It was certainly watchable. Melina only being in it for a bit was a bit of a downer, but I suppose the whole film was played upo for Logan Lerman fans (the guy who plays Percy Jackson)

Persoinally I thought the girl who played Annabeth was ok. I found none of the three main characters outstanding in their roles.

As to why she speaks with a Birtish accent I would have no idea. I would have thought it to be American like the other gods and goddesses and given that Olympus is located above the Empire State Building (Dont think thats a spoiler as its revealed in one of the trailers) Either that or a Greek accent, given that Athena is a Greek goddess.

The characters in the film dont like their parents that are gods, because they havent ever seen them before (this is explained more in the movie) and that is why Melina is not in it until very late. However presumably she will be in it more in the future movies because she now knows her daughter. However there are no clues from wikipedia as to how much Athena is in the subsequent books.

Ive tried to remember everyones questions but let me know if I forgot one or two.

Mind you, she does look stunning in the goddess garb.

Athena is in more of the next books.

Hi Dears and dearest still singing LAMM,

OK, there´s a sort of discrepancy between your facial expressions and the ones of your music teacher and I wonder why this is so . So, what are you going to sing on Tuesday to convince your teacher ? Good luck for the both of you :lol:.

I do want to watch Percy Jackson but it wasn't released yet:scream: I don't care if she is there just 5 minutes, i only care Melina was happy doing this and nobody could have a more perfect Athena:thumbsup:

Happy she was definitely, you could see this in her Athena-interview, and since there´s more Athena in the other books ( Thanks Bonasera-Taylor for the info ), there should be more of Melina/Athena in the sequels and maybe she´s already signed for these and therefore already knows that her role will increase.

I don't loose my faith on this too And i hope she will get one BIG so very big as she deserves But TV is also an amazing place to make a successful career so in any place she is, i will be watching!:thumbsup: (well, that's my opinion anyway. I love TV over Big Screen

I agree that Melina has already a good and successful career as TV actress, especially since in the USA TV actors of successful shows are not really less popular than Hollywood-movie stars. But it´s just that I wish Melina that she gets this "role of her life" on the big screen :thumbsup:.

Hey, Van, you can call me NUT, too, if you like , but don´t believe the LAMM that I´m barbaric , I´m an :angel:-NUT.

Oh yeah, that would be great! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't read any of the books

Well, there´s certainly more of us ignorant guys . But maybe some day I´ll give the books a try, but for now I´m still saturated considering fantasy books after reading Harry Potter .

Yes, Melina is unique and fantastic anyway, and as long as I can watch her every week on TV, I can bear the fact that she´s not that much on the big screen. Thinking about it, the advantage is that we can even see her more often than if she would only shoot one or two movies per year.
Well, there´s two sides to everything, as they say

aussie, thanks for your updated review . I believe you when you say you found the movie nonetheless watchable; I suppose the effects are great. But I´m really not that keen on this kind of genre and was only intending to watch it because of Melina. So with her short appearance I can easily wait for the DVD. I will watch the sequels though if her part will be bigger then.
As for her accent: I´d suppose it´s meant to be a Greek accent if I didn´t know how it really sounds when Melina speaks with Greek accent. But she did so in Guiding Light, so she knows how it works and wouldn´t do it so wrong that it sounds like a British accent :lol:.

Love and hugs to you all

aussie, thanks for your review and I totally hear you. I was disappointed at first as well but then I thought, am I crazy?! It's Melina, of course I have to see it!
But I'm glad that according to the books there will be more Athena in future sequels

Oh dear.. I'm one of the few strange people who haven't read anything Harry Potter so far! :lol: I tried reading one book (got it as a gift) but I had to start three times and it just didn't work, I couldn't for the life of me get into this "magical" world, nothing made sense to me :lol: So well, that was my HP experience :alienblush: :lol:

That's right! We definitely get to see her more when she's doing TV and that's fine with me But in addition to that, I also wouldn't mind her shooting a movie once a year... (if she has enough time for that )

I agree, she definitely knows how to do a Greek accent! And no one could possibly mistake a Greek accent for a British one, right?! :lol: That's ridiculous! :lol:

Haha, I know you're not barbaric :lol: You're way too nice for that

Oh, thank you :alienblush:, and I agree with you and I return the compliment .

Well, tastes are different, aren´t they ? And Harry Potter is really the exception to the rule for me, because usually I don´t read fantasy books at all. But these books just grew on me and suddenly I was an addict to them

I think Melina is a multi-tasking talent, she´d manage to do TV and movie shooting; this woman seems to have ceaseless energy :lol:.

Maybe the director wanted her to speak with this strange accent, for whatever reason, but we shall never know unless Melina will explain it one day. But somehow it´s pretty quiet concerning the movie, anyway over here- no interviews, no big buzz. Gotta check youtube if I can find anything new, especially in terms of Melina.

Hugs to you all

hello i got a site for al melina kanakaredes aka stella fans out there

http://melinakanakaredesfp.forummotion.com/forum.htm

Haven't been on in a billion years, but I just had to post something about The Lightning Thief!

I seriously had to laugh at Athena's accent. She's not British, for gods sake!


Anyways, I recommend the movie to anyone who's read the books. You'll be surprised at how many scenes they skipped, though, which really bothered me.

I throught she as good in the movie has athena for a small part that is
