Drive Angry 3D Blu-ray Disc Review
The 3D Blu-ray edition of "Drive Angry" blasts its way into your living room with tires screeching and guns blazing. The plot is thin, but it makes it up with great muscle cars and "comin'-at-ya'" 3D effects that are actually well executed. Although there is some minor intermittent ghosting, the 3D holds up well. The 3D has a lot natural depth and does not suffer from "paper doll" effects. In addition, the soundtrack complements the over-the-top action well. For more details, read my review.

About Today: What to Wear When It's Hot

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
After what feels like two months of rain, it's finally summer. But don't worry, because I can find something to complain about in all types of weather. Today? It's that I don't have anything to wear.

Find Your Dream Dress
Seriously, I feel like I used to have summer clothes. But judging by my closet, I entirely imagined that, because there is nothing, but nothing, for me to wear in there now that it's 80 degrees out.

The Best Shorts for Your Body Type
When I was younger, I never wore shorts. Of course, there was absolutely no reason for it, but I suffered all summer long in pants because I thought my legs were hideous. Now that I'm older, I know two things: 1) my legs were not hideous and 2) there is no reason to be uncomfortable because you think people are looking at you.

Shoes for Spring and Summer
The beginning of summer is also the beginning of sandal season, i.e., the best season of all.

20 Summer Product Must-Haves
One of my least favorite seasonal challenges: Trying to keep my makeup on my face and off my shirt.
