Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a dynamite bundle from British writer-director Guy Ritchie. Even when the accents are as indecipherable as the plot, Ritchie keeps the action percolating and the humor on high. In London's grubby East End, Eddie (Nick Moran) is staked to a card game by his mates Bacon (Jason Statham), Tom (Jason Flemyng) and Soap (Dexter Fletcher). Then Eddie loses to Hatchet Harry (P.H. Moriarty), a porn king who puts a lien on the bar run by Eddie's dad, J.D. (Sting, in a quirky cameo). Eddie's plan to save the day involves the theft of two antique guns. But Harry's bagman, Big Chris (soccer star Vinnie Jones is one scary dude), intervenes. Confused? So what. It's the spirit that keeps this wild thing smoking.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
