Dubbed Araki's "heterosexual movie," the film starred then-newcomer Rose McGowan as Amy Blue, a tough-as-nails, filthy-mouthed, self-proclaimed virgin in love with one Jordan White ( James Duval ). Their rather mundane lives are thrown through the ringer when they help out a strange boy named Xavier ( Johnathan Schaech ), who leads them through an insane road trip of unintended violence. A trip, mind you, that showcases a slew of names from all walks of life -- Skinny Puppy (band), Margaret Cho, Dustin Ng  

Recently, we were inspired by 'Parks and Recreation' to write a feature listing TV shows that overcame a rocky launch . Sadly, the reverse seems more common: shows that start strong but finish weak. Our latest inspiration is the ongoing death spiral of 'Heroes.'  

The North Somerset town of Portishead has shunned the tradition of a celebrity turning on the Christmas lights by picking a shop worker. Nigel Parker, who is employed by a DIY store in the town, will throw the switch on 30 November 2009. Mr Parker, who said he was "amazed" to be picked, was chosen because of his "friendly approach and helpful advice".

The entire series is available online , and it's well worth watching to see Supermans, the Last Son of Kryptar (played by a guy in what appears to be a child's Supergirl costume), using both his super-powers and a switchbladeknife to battle it out with his arch-foes Spider-Man and Lex Lucifer and rescue Luis Lane. Similarly, Italian Spiderman is a 70s action film parody that is no way Italian, and only tangential related to Spider-Man, unless somehow Peter Parker turned into a fat, mustachioed oddball in  

The Knicks bench came up big as they erased a 19-point deficit in the second-half on their way to picking up their second victory of the season. Al Harrington led the way with 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting, while Larry Hughes added 22 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Hughes has trumped both Nate Robinson and Toney Douglas at the 'two' and continues to look like a safe add.  

PORTISHEAD has ignored the standard option of getting a local celebrity to turn on its Christmas lights this year.

Nigel Parker, who works at Homebase, impressed residents so much with his great customer service that they set up an internet campaign calling for him to get the honour.

The latest Spidey speculation involves Julia Stiles . The actress, wrapping up her Broadway debut come January with the unexpectedly early closing of David Mamet's play 'Oleanna' (starring opposite Bill Pullman ), is reported by Ugo.com's movie blog to have met with casting directors in New Yo
