PLEASE GIVE Movie Photos with Amanda Peet & Catherine Keener

Check the trailer for PLEASE GIVE which stars Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Rebecca Hall, Catherine Keener, Sarah Steele and is directed & written by Nicole Holofcener.
I love that trailer! And Catherine Keener is just so funny! Definitely a movie that I will have to check out in theaters.
Please Give Synopsis:Kate (Catherine Keener) has a lot on her mind. There's the ethics problem of buying furniture on the cheap at estate sales and marking it up at her trendy Manhattan store (and how much markup can she get away with?). There's the materialism problem of not wanting her teenage daughter (Sarah Steele) to want the expensive things that Kate wants. There's the marriage problem of sharing a partnership in parenting, business, and life with her husband Alex (Oliver Platt) but sensing doubt nibbling at the foundations. And there's Kate's free—floating 21st century malaise—the problem of how to live well and be [...]

PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF (2 out of 5 stars)
PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF was just released yesterday and I had an opportunity to go and see what the fuss was all about.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is the story of a young high school kid, Percy Jackson ( Logan Lerman), who lives with his mom, Jessie (Catherine Keener), and step dad in a low income neighborhood.

It is during a trip at the museum that Percy discovers that he is a demi-god, half man and half god as his mother had an affair with a god, Poseidon (Kevin McKidd). Percy also finds out that Zeus (Sean Bean) suspects him of having stolen the Lightning Bolt and has set a deadline for Percy to return it. [...]

Melina Kanakaredes Poster in PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF

Check out a poster of Melina Kanakaredes as Athena in the upcoming movie PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF starring Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Sean Bean, Rosario Dawson, Catherine Keener, Kevin McKidd, Steve Coogan, and directed by Chris Columbus.
Better know as Detective Stella Bonasera in CSI NY, it is a treat to see Melina Kanakaredes appear in a major movie. I think she is a great actress and I have a feeling that she will bring a level of authenticity to the role that will hopefully open up more doors for her down the line.
