1. The Lazy Reader’s Guide to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Could this be the start of a new trend, like the “for dummies” phenomenon? We’re anxiously awaiting the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Zombies).

2. The Televangelist: ‘Lost’ episode 12 (What is Ben smoking? Or should we say, what’s smoking Ben?)

3. Cool Cinema at Midtown: Purple Rain, Puuurrrple Rain (A little stage humping goes a long way.)

4. It’s business time: Flight of the Conchords’ five best videos (Honorable mention: Bret’s Footloose-style “angry dance“)

5. Atlanta Film Fest rock docs (Chad Radford gives the down and dirty on the much anticipated We Fun and I’m Like This Every Day.)
