Monday: Be Kind Rewind If you can't wait until Sunday to see the Michel Gondry–directed episode of Flight of the Conchords , check out his most recent, enjoyably lo-fi film. Two video store clerks (the excellent Mos Def and grating Jack Black) remake movies like Ghostbusters and Rush Hour 2 us...

You will excuse me if I am a little down right about now. I just watched my Iggles choke once again in an NFC Championship game to the stinking Cardinals. THE CARDINALS!
