Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Thoughts

Hi everyone!!! So I FINALLY got to see the Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters movie last night and let me just say, it was AMAZING!!! And this is coming from a fan of the books... actually I'd go with a series fanatic! Seriously. I've read the books like a hundred times!

Okay so first of all, I'm going to get this out of the way. The movie is like 60% accurate and that's just my opinion. If you ask most other book lovers, they'd probably give you a lower number. But I personally loved the movie. I didn't think it was too cheesy or had too much child-like humor although that may just be due to the fact that I'm a child at heart! If you haven't read the books or seen the first movie, I'd say you could still follow the movie pretty well. Now just a warning, this may contain spoilers for the movie so if you haven't seen it yet or read the books, skip to the last paragraph!

So I liked how they were much more accurate to the books in this movie. Annabeth's hair, Dionysus and the oracle!!! Oh god the oracle! She was soooo creepy but totally spot on! She looked exactly like how I pictured her look and voice to be! Dionysus's portrayal was PERFECT! I loved the way he got everyone's names wrong and pushed Percy to the side for Clarisse and talked down to the half-bloods! The humor in this movie was spot-on, the action scenes and much of the CGI looked great! I loved the ending with Thalia and I loved Hermes! Oh and Grover in a dress! EPIC! I was a little afraid we wouldn't be able to see that scene from the books but we DID! The subtle chemistry between Percy and Annabeth was present too! I also liked the scene in the stomach of the sea monster and the scene with the cave. I DIED when Percy and Annabeth were singing Its a Small World Afterall and Clarisse yells at them to shut up! The beginning flashback was also great because I feel like it really set up the story of Thalia and the camp barrier!

Saying all that, I have to mention that there were some scenes that annoyed me... The first would have to be Luke surfing on the wave that Percy rode. I mean Percy walking on water is a given but Luke? That didn't make much sense. Since when did he become a son of Poseidon?  The second scene I didn't like was the scene when Tyson fell over the cliff and "died" but then you found out that he could heal with water like Percy could and I really didn't think Cyclopes were able to do that... Also the fact that they made it a huge deal that Tyson was a son of Poseidon when all Cyclops are sons of Poseidon. The final thing I didn't like was Kronos and Percy fighting in the end. Kronos was NEVER resembled like that so it seemed kind of weird. I was literally sitting in the theater with a WTF look...

But overall I do think that this movie was fairly accurate to the books with just a few minor setting and plot changes. I really do think that they fixed most of the storyline problems from the Lightening Thief in this one! I'd definitely recommend going out and seeing it. I'd give it a 4 out of 5! Thanks for tuning it!!

Vampire Diaries

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting in forever. I really don't have any excuse except for THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!!! I know I know! How did Allie get sucked into a vampire show? The truth is I HATED Twilight and I'm just not that huge of a fan of vampire shows because the producers always make the vampires soooo broody. You see I tried watching the first episode of Vampire Diaries almost a year ago and I hated Stefan. Elena was alright and I loved Damon. I knew Elena and Stefan were supposed to be a thing and I couldn't stand that so I stopped watching it.

Recently however, I found out that Claire Holt was playing Rebekah and Phoebe Tonkin was playing Hayley. I knew both girls from H20: Just Add Water and Phoebe was in The Secret Circle so I wanted to check out the episodes with them in it. The first episode with Claire was the one where Stefan and Klaus were looking for Gloria. I could handle this Stefan as he wasn't all annoying but the thing that caught me was Klaus and Rebekah! I loooooved the Original vampires and I literally watched a lot of the season 3 episodes for them. Slowly I started to like Elena and Damon as well and wished they would get together.

I probably didn't react how most fans did. While they probably wanted the Mystic Falls team to kill the Originals, I was there hoping that most of their plans failed. I mean I didn't really care too much about Kol and Finn's death or if anything happened to Elijah but I loved Rebekah and Klaus. I felt for those two. They were just lonely and wanted to be loved! Damon was pretty much the same. He hid his loneliness and pain behind a mask.

Vampire Elena was great except for when she was skipping around Stefan like an idiot. I literally rolled my eyes when Caroline realized that Elena was sired to Damon. Stefan during this time was SOOOOOO annoying! God! He was so vindictive and self-righteous! He was acting like it was Damon's fault that Elena was sired and then when they found out that the sire bond doesn't effect feelings, he jumped right onto the "let's find the cure" bandwagon because he hoped that the human Elena would come back and pick him. He doesn't deserve her love if he can't love her how she is now! The scenes between Elena and Damon were my favorite and I looooved the Graduation episode when Elena tells Damon that she's not sorry that she loves him!

I also loved Caroline and Klaus. Their interactions was absolutely adorable and you could FEEL the chemistry between them! I loved the Miss Mystic Falls episode in season 4 when Klaus and Caroline were on a date and he was reading her Miss Mystic application to her! And the graduation episode! My heart MELTED when he told her that Tyler may be her first love but he plans to be her last! Oh god! Stupid Originals show taking away one of my favorite parts of the Vampire Diaries. I did hear however that they aren't planning on Klaus having a new love interest soon but I will stab someone if he starts flirting with that CAMILLE girl! He and Caroline are (to quote Caroline herself) EPIC! Also wanted to mention, I hate Hayley... I understand why the producers had to make her pregnant but that doesn't mean I like it!

Katherine was funny as a character too. Hats off to Nina Dobrev for being able to act as both Elena and Katherine while being totally different! I can't wait to see how Katherine handles being a human although I have heard that she gets close to one of the Salvatores in season 5 and I will stab someone if it's Damon!

So all in all, I'm looking forward to season 5 of the Vampire Diaries and I SERIOUSLY hope there will be a LOT of crossovers between the Originals and the Vampire Diaries because I can't stand the idea that Caroline and Klaus will never meet again! I kind of do wish that Rebekah and Stefan would hook up again because I really did them better as a pair than Matt (thought he was freaking ANNOYING and it was totally his fault Elena was a vampire, I mean let's go for a drive and get away from Mystic Falls? ugh) and Rebekah. I probably will end up watching the Originals if not for just Klaus. If you don't watch the show, definitely check it out (at least from season 3 on because it's not too difficult to understand what's going on). Bye bye for now!

The Wolverine Thoughts

Hello internet universe!!! So the Wolverine just came out on Friday but I went and saw it on Saturday night! Let me just say, it was freaking EPIC!!! I LOVED IT! I'd definitely give it an A and its definitely a must-see movie!!! Now these are my thoughts on the movie and it will probably contain spoilers! If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out!!! Totally worth the money!

Okay so first of all, the ending was NOT predictable!! I've heard that it was but for me, I did not see it coming that Yashida was alive! I totally thought he was dead and that Viper was trying to get Logan's healing powers to put into Mariko. But that may have just been me lol...  I went with Adam (my younger brother) and he told me he say Yashida coming from the very beginning of the movie... But then again, he's like the worst boy ever because he didn't even want to go see the movie and I dragged him with me because none of my friends wanted to see it. They all think I'm nerdy for liking superhero movies lol.

I felt so bad for Logan throughout this movie. When he wasn't going through emotional pain (Jean's death), he was going through physical! I literally cringed when Yashida put that drill into Logan's claw stumps! And when he broke Logan's adamantium claws! Yikes. The worst was probably when he had to cut himself open and pull out Viper's parasite off his heart! I KNEW that Logan couldn't die but when he crushed the parasite and went limp, I gasped... as did the rest of the theater. Speaking of the Viper, the only thing I didn't like about this movie was her. I mean I think she could have been an amazing villain but I feel like she was all bark and no bite. She was only there to prevent the viewers from knowing about Yashida being alive although I did love the scene when she pulled off her skin!

Now onto Jean! I knew she was in this movie and I was looking forward to it because I totally believe that she and Wolverine BELONG together! Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of Jean appearances in this movie!!! I thought she would only appear in the beginning of the movie in a dream but she was ALL OVER this movie! I liked how she appeared at all his most vulnerable moments and then in the end, he was able to move past her. I got all girly when he told her that he would always love her but he wants to stay alive.

So the relationship between Mariko and Logan seemed a little forced to me. I mean I like how she helped him move on from Jean but at the same time, she was so much younger than him. There was no chemistry between the two! It was also obvious that the two of them wouldn't have a real relationship because he needs to return to the US and she needs to stay in Japan as the head of the business. Until the point where Yukio died, I thought that Mariko would choose him in the end but guess not.

The post-credit scene was great too! I love the way it was set up and the way Logan is going to return to the X-Men. It made me excited to see X-Men: Days of Future Past. I feel like its funny though for Hugh Jackman. Practically his whole acting career in X-Men. As soon as he finishes one X-Men movie, he's onto another! He finishes X-Men 3 and goes onto Wolverine Origins. He finishes that one and is onto First Class. Finishes First Class and does The Wolverine and now Days of Future Past.

The action in this movie was amazing too. There was a perfect mix of action and storyline so no one is bored! Like I said in the beginning, definitely go check out this movie! You'll definitely love it! It's much more dark than Origins but it's always a new side to Wolverine that you will love! Over and out!

My TMI Addiction... It's a Problem

Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for so long but I am a such a procrastinator.... Anywho, can I just say.... I have a problem. And that problem is The Mortal Instruments. I am sooooo freaking excited for the movie, I can't even explain. I swear it's like an addiction now. I've watched like all of the trailers: the US teaser trailer, the theatrical trailer, the international trailer, the UK trailer and even the German trailer. The German one is in German so if you do watch it, it's kind of hard to understand it. It also contains a LOT of spoiler scenes from the movie so if you don't want to be spoiled don't watch that one. I've also been on the TMI Hot Topic merchandise site and seriously want that 14 dollar TMI mug (to the left). The runes appear with heat! How cool is that?!

I like seriously cannot wait for the movie to come out but it's like two months away... Sigh. I don't even know what I'm going to do after I watch it... Probably go through withdrawals until the next one... or the final book, whichever comes first :D

That's pretty much all I had to say... I'm sorry but I just HAD to blog this... Maybe I've got it out of my system.... Haha no. I can't even keep a straight face while saying that! It comes out August 21, 2013! Hope you guys are excited for this movie but hopefully not like I am!

Book Review - The Selection by Kiera Cass

Hello internet universe! Allie here with a book review! I just finished reading The Selection by Kiera Cass and omg! I can't even describe how I'm feeling right now!!!! I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Ahh! Normally I'm not really into books like this one but I've heard some pretty good reviews so I decided to check it out and it was definitely worth it! Basically this book is a slightly dystopian universe (although much more positive than most) where the US has barely managed to survive World War IV. The country has combined with Canada to become Ilea which is run by a royal family. There are several castes in society and depending on how high you were in the caste system, the better of you were. If the royal family has a son, when he comes of age, he will marry a girl from Ilea while a daughter will marry a son from a different royal family. Prince Maxon has to choose a wife by a large application process which is narrowed down to thirty-five. The female protagonist, America Singer, has been selected as one of the thirty-five but she's not happy about it because that means she has to leave her secret love, Aspen, who is in a lower caste than her, making it impossible for them to be together. This book originally reminded me a lot of the Bachelor which is why I was hesitant to pick it up but its very different from the Bachelor. That is all of my non-spoiler section. If you haven't read the book, I would suggest checking it out!!

Now for the spoiler section and my thoughts! Okay so first of all, I LOVE Maxon! I wasn't expecting it due to my biase about dystopian books. I thought that Maxon would be stuck up and wouldn't care about the country but it turned out to be the opposite and I just fell in love with him! From what I gathered about the royal family, his mother (the queen) is an absolute sweetheart and his father (the king) really seems to care about the country. This threw me a little because I really didn't like the caste system so I was expecting the royals to be cold when in fact they were much warmer than I expected. I mean America teased Maxon so much and all three just seem to enjoy it rather than get angry with her! Also, I don't like Aspen. I don't know why but something about him just rubbed me the wrong way... Maybe its just that I loved Maxon but I think it also has to do with the fact that Aspen first pushes America to apply but then gets upset when he realizes that America might actually care for Maxon. Double standard much? I have this feeling that Aspen actually does have another girl besides America but once she became famous, he wanted her again. And of all the places he could go, he ends up at the palace as America's guard! I hated that he just crept into her room while she was sleeping... I find that to be super creepy not romantic! I was happy though at the end that America decided to actually try and win over Maxon because she realized she did like him. I seriously hate Celeste because she's so fake! When she was trying to rip the dress of America, I wanted to reach into the book and smack her! Marlee seems like a sweetheart but I'm curious as to why she's still here if she doesn't like Maxon... Of all the girls, I feel like America is the only one who truly may love him...

This is supposedly the first book of a series and I know The Elite is coming out in a few weeks and I'm SUPER excited!! I can't wait to see what happens and I really hope America pushes Aspen away and Maxon picks her. I feel as though in the next book, Maxon or someone is going to find out about Aspen and America and drama will ensue because afterall the whole book can't be about the Selection. If there are future books, I think they may be about Maxon and America fixing the country and possibly getting rid of the caste system which seems to be the only negative thing about the country.

Well that's all I have to say on this book! Definitely check it out if you haven't already. I give it 5 out 5 stars! Ciao for now!

First Post!!!

Hi everyone!!! My name's Allie and this is a blog for my random ass thoughts since I have sooo many of them! I doubt anyone's reading this but for my own mental well being, I shall pretend as though people are :D

Hmm so about me... I'm eighteen years old and I'm a freshman in college... I have a younger brother named Adam and an older brother named Kyle. I am a huuuuuge WWE fan! I know that's super geeky but I love it. I'm not like most girls however because I don't like the superstars/divas that most girls do.

Let's see.... My absolute favorite superstar is CM Punk, not John Cena (who I actually really don't like... shh). I also love Dolph Ziggler, Chris Jericho, Triple H and Fandango/Johnny Curtis!!! I don't know if you saw RAW this last week but the fact that the crowd was singing Fandango's theme song just made me die!! Oh yeah and the fact that Dolph is Heavyweight Champion! I thought he was going to lose when Alberto put him into the cross armbreaker and I almost had a heart attack! Hmm I also loved Edge (god, can I marry him? Lucky Beth Phoenix!!), John Morrison and Sean Michaels. I used to love the Miz but I hate him as a face... So sad.

I also have weird taste in books. I love the Mortal Instruments (Jace and Clary forever ;D), the Percy Jackson series and the Uglies (wish they would make a movie of it!!). TV shows I love are Pretty Little Liars and I used to love the Hellcats! Oh and I have a YouTube account and a FanFiction although both are mostly lame... The links to both are below.Let's move on to my favorite divas :) My absolute favorite diva is Kaitlyn right now. I also looove Natalya and the Bellas (although the fact that they came back and stole Cody from Kaitlyn made me sad). I used to love Eve (almost cried when she quit but I totally wish her the best with Rener!), Mickie James and Maria (who most divas fans hate but I love). I was never really a fan of Kelly Kelly or AJ. They both just rub me the wrong way... idk why.

Hmmm what else about me? Oh! I looove superhero movies and action romance. Chick flicks sometimes bore me (I HATED the Vow). I love the X-Men movies (although I think Jean and Wolverine belong together), the Avengers, the Batman movies (how great was Anne Hathaway as Catwoman?!) and oooh I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (although I wished Elizabeth had chose Jack Sparrow because come on, who wouldn't love Johnny Depp?!).

Well I think that's all for now! Over and out blog universe :)

xoxo Allie
