Nacho Libre Jack Black is one of those actors who is excruciatingly annoying if in the wrong role (Orange County), or stupidly-hilarious if in the right one (School of Rock). Enter "Nacho Libre" -- Jack plays a priest who becomes a Mexican wrestler in order to save the orphanage. more inside

Mark Jenkin's Storker Project is a fascinating sort of urban grafitti. Jenkins makes life size babies out of packing tape then abandons them in urban, suburban and rural areas. The final result is absurd, eye catching and occasionally even poignant.
