Any movie that's going to have Greek gods and half-breeds in it is going to need some impressive special effects work to back up the creatures. That applied for "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters," the second movie in the fantasy franchise. With the Logan Lerman movie about to hit Blu-ray and DVD this week, MTV Movies Blog has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what went into bringing the character Tyson to life. As anyone who has seen the movie knows, Tyson is a cyclops, and putting one eye on an actor is harder than you might expect. Check out our exclusive look at a behind-the-scenes featurette from the "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" Blu-ray after the jump! "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" hits Blu-ray and DVD on December 17. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2013/12/16/percy-jackson-sea-of-monsters-blu-ray-exclusive-behind-the-creature-effects/
'Elysium' VFX Supervisor Dishes On 'Chappie,' Game Spinoffs And Blowing Droids To Bits
"Out where we were shooting in Mexico, we would have a camera operator follow Matt around. And we would pretend that Matt's back was attached to the camera." To get the unique behind-the-back look, Muyzers says "We took the plates and stabilized them in post," to avoid the queasy-making aesthetic of some handheld camera work. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2013/12/17/elysium-vfx-supervisor/

"Freezer," as you might imagine, is about a man who is trapped in a bathroom. Okay, we're lying. He's obviously trapped inside a freezer. But that's just the start of this absurd trailer, which stars Dylan McDermott. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2013/12/12/you-have-to-watch-the-trailer-for-freezer/
Exclusive 'The Legend Of Hercules' Photos: Kellan Lutz Is A Man And A God
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET Of course, the ultimate movie about excess would be too long for some, but I ate up this delicious black comedy, marveled at Leo's bombastic performance and knew immediately that this would be a film I would come back to again and again. 1. GRAVITY An emotional and visceral experience unparalleled by anything else I encountered in a movie theater this year. You're wrung out by the end and not sure where the tears came from. It's not a theme park ride. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2013/12/17/the-best-movies-of-2013/
You Have To Watch The Trailer For 'Freezer'
Just last year, we saw Superman get rebooted with "Man of Steel," and next year, one of the world's first superheroes is getting an origin story of his own.
