Go Army? or Go Home? Should the Army Recruit at College Events?

My community college occasionally holds events in the quad for students. Usually its a mix of loud music, free pizza and clubs seeking new members. Today, during the sports themed event one more thing stood out: the army. They set up a table and rock climbing wall. Bulked up Men in fatigues awaited their opportunity to draw in the college crowd.

Tim Gunn's Guide to Style: New Bravo TV Show!

Bravo just premiered a new TV show with Project Runway's Tim Gunn called Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. At first glance this show appears to be "another makeover program" but upon deeper examination its so much more! Its about making a lifestyle transformation. The gist: fashion-challenged women aren't just provided new outfits they are re-styled and taught how to bring the best of themselves out. At first, Tim can be harsh calling one woman's clothes "slutty" to her face and others outfits a "disaster" but after a one-week process Tim and his assistant former model, Veronica Webb, help turn one fashion-challenged woman into a fashion maven!

For more information on time(s) that this show airs as well as bio's, blogs, message boards and fashion tips check out Tim Gunn's Guide to Style Bravo Website.   

DVD Review: Possession with Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart

Possession is 2002 DVD based on the book of the same title by author A. S. Byatt. It intertwines the present and the past melding two love stories and a quest for literary gold. An American in England Roland Michell (Aaron Eckhart) finds unsent letters by a (fictional) Victorian poet. He connects with Dr. Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow) to try and find answers to his questions, who was the poet writing to?

As more letters are unearthed Roland and Maud discover a hidden romance between two Victorian poets.

This movie is no action-adventure; it is a true story with believable characters and seamless transitions. The scenery is beautiful and the period clothes are magnificent. It's especially fantastic for those who enjoy movies/books like Pride and Prejudice and North & South. Extra's on DVD include director commentary.
