This year is the year for movies. I definitely will be spending my time at the theatre especially to see all the book turned movies films!
The film I'm most excited to see is Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters! I've been in love with the book series since my friends introduced me to them. I've become more obsessed with the books than my friends!
Tomorrow, my best friend and I will be going to the early premiere of the movie at ten PM, and I am very excited!
To be honest, The Lightning Thief, I thought wasn't that bad. Sure it didn't have a thing in common with the books besides the names, but if they didn't have the series to compare it to, it was a pretty entertaining movie. Luckily for us fans, the Sea of Monsters looks to be more closer to the books than the first one! I'm excited to see the new faces in the film!
Leven Rambin as Clarisse seems perfect! I imagines Clarisse to look just how she is in the movies.
Douglas Smith as Tyson is also a great match. They are both cute and funny, and Douglas brings Tyson to life! In the trailers, he seems so adorable and lovable!
Paloma Kwiatkowski as Thalia Grace, is a face I am most excited to see in the film. Thalia is my favorite character and I am excited to see her at the beginning and end of the film. Even though I am annoyed they pronounced her name wrong in the movies (oh well, nobody's perfect), I am still very thrilled to see her in the movie. Paloma seems to fit the Thalia image very well. And to be a newcomer to Hollywood and a just graduated teen, she's got to have a LOT of talent to be picked to play this part.
The trailers they have released and the exclusive clips prove to show that this movie will very much likely be a hit! I have even watched the Japanese trailers (which show some exclusive images!) and every time I get more and more excited!
Tours: I wish they would have done a movie tour more like how The Mortal Instruments movie tour was like. I never really saw any dates of where they were going until after the fact. Hopefully next time I will be able to meet the stars of the Percy Jackson Cast (My dream).
Anyways, be sure to see the movie, coming out August 7th!!! (TWO DAYS!!! I remember when it was like 145 days till the movie came out! AH!)

The Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero
I remember when this first came out, I was so excited to read it and my mom practically had to pry it from my hands just so I would go to bed at a decent time.
This new series introduces us back into the Percy Jackson world.
Jason has lost his memory, he supposedly is Piper's boyfriend and Leo's best friend (so they tell him). When storm spirits join their class trip to the Grand Canyon, and their gym teacher ends up being a satyr, they know something is up. A girl Annabeth appears, looking for her boyfriend, Percy Jackson and starts claims that the gods and goddesses are real. It's not long before they are whisked to Camp Half Blood where they must take on a dangerous quest to save a not well liked goddess.
Personally I really enjoyed this book, I loved how there were three character point of views.
I won't give out any spoilers but I loved the twist behind Jason's family past. Piper I think can be annoying at times, but is a great character as well. She shows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and shows courage and strength for her loved ones. Leo, by far, is my favorite character. He adds major comic relief to the story, although his background I think is far one of the worst out of all. He is the kind of character you can't help but just love and want to hug him when he is sad. Leo will definitely make you laugh out loud and he shows how thoughtful, and how much he will fight for the people he cares about. Hopefully I can find my own Leo in life.
A lot of people were disappointed that Percy wasn't featured in it. I, on the other hand, think it was a nice fresh change. I loved the new characters and all the plot twists. I definitely recommend reading the series if you like action and adventure with a sprinkle of romance.
