Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptune
This book took off right where it left us in the previous one, but in Percy's point of view!!!!
Percy gets to the roman camp, makes some excentric friends and gets a quest. A typical day in the life of a demigod. Especially if your name is Percy Jackson.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
I have to give this film five stars even though I wasn't completely satisfied with it. To be fair when critiquing this film, you need to judge the film on its own merits and not just compare it to the book it was based on. Even though the film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two" took many, many, MANY liberties with J.K. Rowling's book, the end result is still a spectacular and entertaining film that really delivers everything audiences have been expecting. It's filled with action, drama, suspense, and an amazing ending to a story that's captured moviegoers' hearts for the past decade.

As someone who has studied Lincoln and books on the assassination since I was a child, I figured I'd give O'Reilly's book a try, assuming that since he had written it so shortly after some great Lincoln books (Abraham Lincoln: A Life, by Michael Burlingame; Blood on the Moon by Edward Steers) that there must be something unique about it. Unfortunately, I came away not really seeing what the new approach was.

The Lion King (Diamond Edition Blu-ray & DVD)

The Best of Me
The Best of Me is the heart-rending story of two small-town former high school sweethearts from opposite sides of the tracks. Now middle-aged, they've taken wildly divergent paths, but neither has lived the life they imagined . . . and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever altered their world.

Star Wars: The Complete Saga
Just received the blu-rays today and watched sections of each of the movies to check out the quality of the HD video. I had no problems, even with the "pink" light saber light. (The pink is on the fringes, and the "red" light saber light is actually white with pink edges. Looked realistic to me.)

Just Dance 3
Having a busy work schedule, the Wii represents a large portion of my workout routine. When the original Just Dance came out, it quickly became my favorite Wii game. Just Dance 2 provided many improvements over its predecessor, including better motion detection, better graphics, and downloadable songs to keep the game interesting.
