Oh, hello!

Today was open day, and how fun it was being in at 8am, and not only that, we got to wear lovely purple reflective bibs. A new look, I'm thinking!

After our 'shift' finished at 12, we headed off to see the long awaited Percy Jackson movie. Overall, I enjoyed it. I think it was a little cheesy in places and I get the feeling some of it was a bit rushed, but it wasn't unpleasant to watch. I guess I'm a little disappointed because I had high expectations of it especially because of the director. However, I think there are some things that only Harry Potter can get away with, because people have already established character relationships etc with him, and I think this could have been where Percy Jackson went wrong.

I must admit, I did enjoy looking at Hollywood's newcomer, Logan Lerman! However, him being 5 months younger than me, we would never work out. So ill say it - he was a bit rubbish at acting in parts. When he was acting like a quote unquote normal teenager, he was fairly convincing. Considering this was only for the first ten minutes of the film, kind of scores that out!! But I'm not sure if I've just gone all over judge mental on the film.

I think the story line is really good. However - this could be because it was based on a book. I couldn't tell you if it compares even to that. I felt it took me back to primary school when I went through this weird obsession with Greek mythology, weird I know. I must admit, I find all of the old stories and myths fascinating, so it was nice to see some of them in action.

Also, I'm already quite excited for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea Monster coming out in 2012, y'all! Come on, you just know there's going to be about three sequels minimum!

Overall, I think Percy Jackson is going to be another guilty pleasure of mine. Hidden far, far away from daylight, only to be taken out on days of illness or sadness or boredom, an easy watch at best.
