Movie Recommendation for this week: Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D!

Ok. This movie is not new but it is being re-released in 3D!!!

Consensus: A stunningly original and visually delightful work of stop-motion animation.

Side Comment: I would also recommend Saw VI if you are current on the newest installment of the Saw series. The reviews are never spectacular but people still go to see what twists the movie has to offer.

Movie Recommendation for this Week: Black Dynamite

This movie is probably under the radar for most people, including me.

Consensus: A loving and meticulous send-up of 1970s blaxsploitation movies, Black Dynamite is funny enough for the frat house and clever enough for film buffs.

Here is the Trailer:

Sex in Dorms Requires Courtesy

If you go to Tufts University, you may have to check out a hotel room nearby to handle your business.

The rule is as follows:

1. If your roommate is around, No Sex.

2. No "Sexiling"= No banishing your roommate when you need to have Sex.

Students at the University are not sure what to think, except that it is common courtesy for a roommate to excuse themselves when they need the room.

What If Your University Tried to Implement Similar Rules?

Must See Online Recommendation: Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood

I know this is not something I would usually blog about or even think of posting but I will make a post if I think its worth mentioning. If you watch anime or at least know what it is. You need to check out the revamped Full Metal Alchemist series called Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood which supposedly follows the Manga more closely. It is extremely good and just gets better every episode. It will not disappoint.

I watch all or most of my anime at NarutoWire, You can check it out there.

Game Review: Drake Uncharted: Among Thieves

I do not personally have a PS3 but I saw the review for this game and was blown away by it. If you have a PS3, you need to have this game. Wow! that's all there is to say.

Movie Recommendation for this Week

I had not heard about this movie until watching a sit down interview with Chris Rock and Nia Long. But this movie has gotten good reviews and is pretty funny.

Go see it. If you still need more proof...Click on the title of this post.
