Spotted: Lemonade Mouth to hit the big screen

According to EW, this could be the next big thing...

I confess I've never read this book, but it goes out fairly often at the library and the cover's interesting.

What do you think?

Movie Review: Percy Jackson

First I want to say that I'm a HUGE fan of the books and I think Rick Riordan rocks. That being said, movies are usually different from the books for various reasons - time constraints or to add more drama. Sometimes it's for the better or it works and sometimes it just doesn't.

I thought the movie was good, not great, but good.

Things I wish had made it into the movie:

• finding out about his father - while at Camp Half Blood
• Ares
• more time with the gods
• Chariot Races
  

Things I LOVED

• Medusa
• Grover
  Nashville and the Partheon - Yes, this was extraordinarily different, but awesomely so although the real statue of Athena looks like this:

Things I didn't like

• Luke - I didn't feel he was evil enough - seemed a little cheesy to me
• Capture the flag
• Mrs. Dodds not as a Math teacher
• The Gods' height, not in human form - felt really strange to me.
  

Things I didn't mind

• aging of the characters

Overall I do hope they continue with Sea of Monster
