Good Deal: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON Blu-Ray/DVD Pack for $13


Since I have Music Mondays and Linkulous Fridays, I think I'm going to try to have Good Deal Wednesdays. I've already been posting Good Deals, but not on a regular basis. So here begins Good Deal Wednesdays!

One of my favorite movies from last year, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, is now available for only $13 on Blu-Ray/DVD. It made it on my Top 15 Movies of 2010 List, so I definitely think it's worth the money.

It's a great coming of age story about believing in yourself and going your own way, filled with laughs. I saw it in 3D, and while it was a great experience, watching it on Blu-Ray was just as fun to watch. The animation is beautiful no matter what dimension you watch it in.

You can buy it from Amazon below:

Awesome Fan-Made Retro X-MEN: FIRST CLASS Credits Sequence


The 60's set X-MEN: FIRST CLASS has not focused on the fact that it's technically a period piece. Looking at the posters and trailers, they've followed closely along what has been set forth in the previous, contemporary-set X-MEN films. Some fans have taken it upon themselves to create materials that reflect the look of the 1960's and this fan-made trailer is my favorite of the bunch.

Watch the slick credits and find out more about the creator after the break.

Music Monday: Miami 2 Ibiza by Tinie Tempah


This Monday was tougher than usual for me. After a weekend in Vegas, I feel like I need another weekend to just catch up on sleep! This jam helped wake me up today, thanks to its rocking beat and catchy lyrics. I caught Tinie Tempah's first US show a couple months ago and am not surprised that his "Written in the Stars" track is blowing up. This was my favorite song from his performance, so it just might be his next big single since it's already got a music video.

Catch the sexy music video, featuring a crazy night of partying in clubs and then some topless swimming from his lady companion, after the break.

ABDC Season 6: Ke$ha Challenge


This week, the remaining 5 crews are performing to Ke$ha hits. Last week's episode was so strong with IaMmE Crew and Street Kingdom. We'll see which crews shine through this week.

The group performance to "We R Who We R" was even better than last week's! Again, each crew got a chance to take center stage, and I think Instant Noodles and 787 Crew were the standouts for me. Iconic Boys were instantly recognizable because of their size and youth. It'll be interesting to see if a crew so young can stand equal with the big boys (or girls).

Crew: FootWorKings
Ke$ha Song: Tik Tok
Background: Footworking is a Chicago style that has Mike N Ikes, Dribbles, and Erk N Jerks. You basically move your feet to every beat of the song. Dancing to Ke$ha, they have to worry about making sure they feet can keep up to the beat.
Routine: The backflips at centerstage were great since he just went right into the footwork and was able to stay in time with the others. I loved the last move where the girl, "Lil Bit" ended as the only one standing. She definitely works hard to stay in time, keep up with the quickness of the guys, but also stand out since she is the only girl. JC pointed out a dangerous "ankle break" move that I would not have noticed without that slow-mo. D-Trix thinks this footwork is the future of hip hop and is glad they're showing it off to America. He's already a fan and I think I am too.
