Nacho Libre is the first production by Black and White's Black & White Films--"and it's kind of a model of what we want to do," says...

When I compared the HD DVD of last year's sci-fi cult film Serenity with its DVD, the difference was powerful. I called my wife in as a witness, and she immediately noticed the richer detail and deeper color. That's just on a 42-inch HD set. The differences grow the bigger your...
DIED. Fausto Vitello, 59, founder of the cult punk-skater magazine Thrasher, who in the late '70s sparked a thrill-seeking urban subculture of skateboarders who jumped curbs and railings instead of just ramps in specialty parks; of a heart attack, while riding his bike; in Woodside, Calif.
