Hailing from Canada as one of the most creative bands of our time is Do Make Say Think with their new album You, You're a History in the Rust. Advancing on their techniques from previous albums and drawing on other influences from Canada such as Broken Social Scene (which the members of Do Make Say Think fill about half the roster) and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the band has put together one of their most solid and enjoyable albums. Do Make Say Think continues to do what they do best, create captivating music with its dominating bass lines, spacey electronics, and jazz like drumming, including new elements such as the use of acoustics and some vocals.

If you're looking for a brilliant piece of cinema, stop right here. But, if you want to find out what Busta Rhymes' biggest influences are, look no further than The Last Dragon, one of media mogul Berry Gordy's mid 1980's efforts to bring Kung Fu to a Black Audience. Follow the legend of Leroy, a young man with a love for kung fu and out of place in New York City. No one understands him except the beautiful V.J. Laura Charles. Watch to see if Leroy takes out Sho'nuff, the evil Shogun of Harlem and ask yourself, have you got the glow? Look for seasoned actor William H. Macy as he makes a brief appearance as JJ the make-up artist.

Put yourself in the shoes of Ashley J. Williams, Ash for short. The hero of the popular cult series Evil Dead is brought to life in A Fistful of Boomstick where you can actually take control of cult icon Bruce Campbell. Playing the game isn't so much for the gameplay, that's mediocre at best, but rather for the quotes you get out of the game. It's just Bruce Campbell making snyde and witty remarks for every moment you play the game. And here's the best part, every level change brings a new environment and new weapons and stuff like that, but it also just brings more quatoble remarks from Bruce Campbell.
