By Alison Willmore on 09/29/2008
"Nick and Norah"'s playlist may be infinite, but for a movie, making soundtrack choices can be like putting together the world's most high-pressure mixtape.

By Alison Willmore on 09/01/2008

"Bangkok Dangerous" finds Nicolas Cage becoming the latest to join the ranks of these sad assassins, and in honor of the film, this week on the IFC News podcast we look at the many reasons movie hitmen tend to be so tragic.
