Album: Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors – Big Boi
Release Date: Dec. 11

The brilliance of Outkast is obviously well established. Let’s face it though, Andre 3000 was the one getting a lot of the creative credit. Since going their separate ways, Big Boi has shown that there’s more to him than a great beat. This latest album is a great example of just how experimental he’s getting. This album is a little erratic. I really dig “Lines” off the record, but it’s a little out there. The album has plenty of that classic Outkast feel with some of the newest sound out there today.

Movie: The Hobbit
Release Date: Dec. 14

Peter Jackson and friends return to Middle Earth for another go around, much to the delight of LOTR fan-boys everywhere. Expect this a much more light-hearted film than the previous series. It won’t take itself as serious as some will be anticipating. But for those who just want to experience another romp through the forest with Hobbits, Dwarves and Elves, this shouldn’t disappoint.

Out on DVD: Sleepwalk with Me
Release Date: Dec. 18

It’s a true-ish story about a strugging stand up comedian who is frustrated with his stalling life. Oh yeah, he’s a chronic sleep walker too. It’s a smart comedy with some seriously great writers pitching in (Ira Glass). The cast is talented and well-suited for their roles.
