Cameron Crowe’s Deep Tiki Postponed; Iron Man 2’s Production Title
The untitled Cameron Crowe tropical comedy starring Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon (read about the plot here) has finally been titled “Deep Tiki“.

10 Worst Science Fiction Remakes [Movie Detritus]
The worst thing about Hollywood's plague of crappy SF remakes is, you get numb. You forget just how epically awful some of them were, even compared to Keanu/Klaatu. Here are the ten absolute worst remakes.We're not just talking Day The Earth Stood Still bad. I know, I know — your head is still throbbing from the severe mediocrity and that slow, slow slide into the drool pond that happens after Klaatu takes off to travel around Upstate New York. But really — Keanu's insult to your senses is just the most
You Ain’t No Picasso interviews Daniel Martin Moore
Elizabethtown, Kentucky — population of roughly twenty-two thousand — spawned a movie of the same name after a young Cameron Crowe experienced a significant event in its limits. Years later it helped form me into the curious person that I am today. At roughly the same time, Elizabethtown was also home to Daniel Martin Moore, one of Kentucky’s finest young musicians. Daniel has traveled the world, written an album of songs that was released on Sub Pop records and brings a chair

Sarah "Barracuda" Palin and the Heart of the Matter
According to Sarah Palin's sister (CNN interview) the VP nominee's nickname of Barracuda was a result of tenacious d. on the hardwood (we're talking basketball, not Jack Black).Ann and Nancy Wilson, the sisters/mothers/working women behind the rock band Heart have a different opinion of the name, and as such wrote a little song about it (Like to hear it? Here it go!). The song "Barracuda," as anyone that has ever been in the same room as me and a radio can attest, is quite
