  2. Beastie Boy Adam Yauch has directed Gunnin' for that #1 Spot, a doc about high school basketball prospects in Harlem.

  1. Deceased scribe Hunter S. Thompson is analyzed in the Johnny Depp-narrated doc, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
  2. Comedian Michael Ian Black has penned My Custom Van: And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays that Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face.
