While Percy and Annabeth battle through Tartarus to reach a way to get back to our world, the rest of their friends attempt to reach Greece to help them. But with monsters attacking both groups, will anyone make it?

While I wasn't happy with the last book in the series, this one was much better. The plot kept moving forward quickly and all of the main characters got some great development. Fans should be pleased.

Oh my god!! If you have not picked this up and you like fantasy novels, do it right now. Stop what you are doing and read this book!!! It is full of badassery, not too much romantic stuff, and magic. In the battle to find out which person will be crowned the King's Champion, lots of mystery and intrigue happens to our main heroine, Celaena Sandorthien. What is even cooler about this, there are pronunciation guides in the back of the book (at least in the paperback edition). I can't wait to start on the next one!!

IMHO, this is one of the best modern war movies that's been made in the past few years. It's gritty, and the battle scenes are intense. Does Jon Bernthal really have to be a d-bag in everything? At least it worked in this film. I also always like seeing Shia LaBeouf in films, though he doesn't do many anymore. Michael Pena did a great job too, but he's one of my favorite actors. Logan Lerman did great portraying his character, and you really felt the terror he must have felt. Brad Pitt was basically playing LT Aldo Raine again, but it worked.

Fun battle app with Disney characters
This is practically the same game as Star Wars Heroes and Marvel Strike Force (both also owned by Disney). You build a team of characters and fight five on five to level up and collect more characters. As compared to the other games, this one awards fewer raid passes, so you have to play levels you’ve already played repeatedly to farm materials you need to level up your characters. There are more opurtunities to pit your team of characters against other players teams instead of just battling the computer.

Disappointing to Say the Least
After the first and second films I'll admit I was somewhat excited to see the third. The first two were not only packed full of action but also held stable plotlines that kept me interested. I am sadden to say that this film did not hold up. I found it to be filled with nothing but dog jokes and dick hits. Literally there was not a single battle scene without at least two dick punches. I found myself unable to take the film seriously and struggled through watching the majority of the film.

One of my favourite games. Complete carnage. Take control of one of the gingerbread men in this survival game made of cheeky punches and bazookas. 2-6 players flee from candy land to escape. You’re not the only one so it’s a fight for the exit.
Grab weapons, run past your opponents and don’t forget to sucker punch them. If all else fails then call a cage match battle!!! Rip your opponents limbs off one by one and keep them as trophies. 6 biscuits enter, one biscuit leaves. Check out my review...
