This classic pseudo-documentary of a British rock group was so on target in its satire, many viewers initially took it for the real thing. It's since become a cult classic and its title a cultural catch phrase. Spinal Tap (Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean) are an aging British heavy metal band limping their way across the U.S. while Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) makes a "rockumentary" film about their long, strange history.

  • Our favorite star-crossed Loch... | Today's News: Our Take | 10/18/2005
    Our favorite star-crossed Loch Ness Monster hunters are back together this week, hot on the trail of the Big Bad Specimen A that Laura managed to tag last time. Seriously, if these two aren't MFEO (that's Made For Each Other) in their obsessive-compulsive Captain Ahab routine, I don't know who is. When Rich gets a load of Laura's shrine-o'-newspaper-clippings, he tells her, "I thought I'd gone overboard." Guess what, Surface cast? I'm instituting a dollar-a-pun rule — it's a crisp greenback in the jar every time you spout a bit of cutesy, water-related dialogue. (Uh-oh. I don't owe a buck for "spout," do I?) After some death-defying highway hot-doggery, the pair manage to score their first above-water sighting — alongside an entire marina full of tourists. We've got monster on tape! Oh wait, no we don't. Thanks a lot, electromagnetic superpowers. Whose side are you on, anyway? Hip! Hip! Hooray for the B-story: Nim's loose in the Piggly Wiggly! Now this is the sort of read more
