"Hello, my name is Shawn Spencer, official psychic of the Santa Barbara Police Department, and this is my partner, Gus 'Silly Pants' Jackson." Little did I realize before watching it, Psych  was the TV show with everything I could ask for. Super-observant slacker Shawn Spencer tips off the Santa Barbara Police Department to the point where the officials believes he may be a part of the crimes he gives info of. They call him in to interrogate him and to find out where he gets his sources, because, frankly, no one should be able to get all that information just by watching the news. Desperate not go to prison, Shawn tells the cops that he got the information through visions, then claims himself to be a psychic. To keep up the psychic act and earn some cash, Shawn brings in Burton "Gus" Guster and opens up a psychic detective agency called Psych, where they are hired by the department and public many times to help solve numerous cases, mostly those of

My only regret when reading this book was that I didn't read it before I read  The Last Olympian . Percy Jackson's life isn't exactly the easiest. Being the son of a Greek god, Percy has to deal with monsters hunting him down, the gods of Olympus wanting his help with their own problems, and might even have to help his demigod cousins as well. The Demigod Files  is a collection of short stories tying into the  Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and also builds up to the finale. In the first story, The Stolen Chariot , Percy must help Clarisse retrieve her father's stolen chariot from her immortal siblings, the minor gods of fear. In the second story, The Bronze Dragon , an innocent game of Camp Half-Blood's Capture the Flag turns into Don't Get Killed By The Bronze Dragon when Percy Jackson and Chris Beckendorf accidentally stumble upon the dragon's remains. Finally, there's The Sword of Hades , in which Percy, Thalia, and Nico are summoned

Don't judge me. I only read this because it was the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Young Adult Novel of 2014. However, I have to disagree. Meet the Sinclairs: A perfect family. No one is poor. No one is starving. No one is a criminal. When seventeen-year-old Cadance Sinclair returns to the family summer island of Beechwood after her accident that caused amnesia, she notices things have changed since she was last there two years ago. At least, from what she could remember and what her mother told her. Cadence tries to have a fun summer, with her cousins: eccentric Johny and soft Mirren. She wants to get back together with a long ago love, Gat. However, Cadence knows that information is being kept from her about what happened on the summer she can barely remember. Something big. So big, in fact, it might just blow your mind.* I'm not in the target audience, but I'll try to make my review as unbiased as possible. However, I really enjoyed the main  plot (the part

It's sad when a good series ends. You're left there to say good-bye to the characters, good-bye to the adventures, good-bye to their world. According to The Great Prophecy, something big happens when Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, turns sixteen: He would have to make a choice that will either save or destroy Olympus and our world. Unfortunately for Percy, his sixteenth birthday is only a week away. Even more unfortunate, Kronos, the Titan Lord of Time, is almost fully revived and is using Luke's body as his temporary shell, and all efforts to stop him from reaching New York only end in losses. Just when things couldn't possibly get worse for Percy, the gods leave Olympus unattended to stop the rampaging storm known as Typhon, leaving Percy and his friends to fend Olympus themselves and take on Kronos demigod-to-Titan. The perfect final installment to an amazing series, The Last Olympian  delivers explosive action and touching moments as readers say farewel

"Haters gonna hate, and ain'ters gonna ain't." With all the controversy surrounding the movie, curiosity overwhelmed me to check out this movie. In fact, I looked forward to it, and I think the same could be said about most of the other people who watched it. TV talk show host Dave Skylark (James Franco) and producer of the show Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) have been working together for ten years, producing a thousand episodes of the hottest celebrity gossip. However, Aaron feels like they should move in a different direction, start covering real news like politics but keep the charm of Dave Skylark. Dave then comes up with an idea to land an interview Kim Jong-Un, leader of North Korea, who happens to be a huge fan of the show. Once this news reaches the public, the CIA contact Dave and Aaron, wanting them to "take out" Kim Jong-Un. The Interview  is most certainly a goofy comedy, but plays it off very well. The jokes are clever, both well though
