Two things struck me about the film on this particular viewing, the first was how far Michael Shannon and Anthony Mackie have come since their roles in this film. Both actors, who were still relatively unknown at this point, have gone on to be prominently featured in indie films like Take Shelter and The Hurt Locker as well as mainstream films. The second thing that crossed my mind is the lack of films about hip hop. Despite the fact that 8 ...

In bizarre news, rock musician Jack White has fired some shots at a very unlikely source, the Guinness Book of World Records . Yes, you read that correctly. In a conversation with Interview magazine, White brought up a "secret" show that he performed in Canada while he was still a part of the White Stripes with Meg White where they played a single note, therefore claiming the "Shortest Concert of All-Time" record. However, when White contacted Guiness to include the performance in their record books, the attempt was denied. "The thing is, though, that the Guinness book is a very elitist ...
