FILM> Ghost Town 
In the comedy "Ghost Town," Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais) is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni). more

MUSIC> Girl Talk - Night Ripper
Since DangerMouse released the infamous Grey Album there has been a hoarde of professional and amateur DJs trying to do their own mash-ups.

But in the remaining 1% there are DJs like Girl Talk, a genius in mixing different genres in original and surprising ways. more

FILM> Be Kind Rewind
The idea behind Be Kind Rewind is fantastic – two buddies, Jerry (Jack Black) and Mike (Mos Def), accidentally wipe all the videos in the store that Mike works in and decide to recreate them on the shoddy equipment they have available. more
