Dean (6927 KP) rated Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) in Movies

Jun 7, 2018 (Updated Jun 7, 2018)

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I had a feeling it was aimed at a young audience but actually it's pretty good for the whole family. There are great effects scenes with some of the Greek mythology creatures doing battle with the demi gods. It felt like Clash of the Titans but set in modern day America, crossed with National Treasure. It has a great cast, although some have very short screen time. It whizzed by at a good pace, with plenty of action, cheesey humour and some decent action effects. I wouldn't call it a Potter or Narnia clone but if you like those sort of adventure films you can't go wrong with this!

Beautiful game with excellent gameplay

If you've played and liked another CMON game, Blood Rage, you'll love this game! The object of the game is to win with the most points, but the path to claim that victory is completely up to the player. Make alliances and collect favor from the gods, wield your might in battle for a region at the end of each season, or spend your power wisely to collect rewards and boost your score. Always a favorite at game day!

Sweeping Saga

Contains spoilers, click to show

This is the first book of a sweeping saga that catches the reader and holds them to the very end. You will find it hard to put this book down. I won't lie, it's a slow read at the beginning while Carey builds the world upon the books are based, but it soon captures you into this world. You find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens next. How one girl can go on to save a nation in peril and the loves and losses she suffers along the way. Carey builds this fantastic world full of intrigue and a bit of magic from the gods. A must read.
