“Life, the Universe, and Everything” Update
No, there’s no direct connection of the title of this post to the content; I just liked how it sounded. :)
In the past 2 days, I’ve seen a total of three movies: Zathura, Revenge of the Sith, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I’ve done a review for the second, but I’ll quickly cover the other two here.
Zathura is, at its core, Jumanji in space. That’s not a bad thing though because it’s entertaining throughout, and that’s all a decent movie really needs to accomplish. Score: 7/10
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actually came out this summer, but the DVD came out this past week. I personally loved it, but since it is a Tim Burton movie after all, this one can’t really be judged for the masses. Score: 8.5/10
This upcoming week is my last full week of classes for the semester. Next week is only three days because of Thanksgiving (it should be two, but UTD is very anti-holiday it seems), and then the following Tuesday exams start and go through December 5th. I registered for my spring classes this past week, but since I’m not sure what the CLEP tests I’m taking next month will give me credit for, it may or may not be my final schedule.
Even though I don’t plan on getting an Xbox 360 for about another 6 months, I went ahead and added my Gamer Card over to the sidebar just to be proactive. Even though I rarely ever play anything on Live, I’ll keep the Gold account anyway for the times when I do feel like playing something.
