Anderson’s ‘Pompeii’ By Angie Han/Aug. 20, 2013 2:30 pm EST Kit Harington spends most of his screentime on Game of Thrones buried under a pile of furs, since it’s cold and getting colder up beyond the Wall.

Guillermo Del Toro Introduces Japanese ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/May 2, 2013 10:56 am EST The recent Japanese trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s monster-smashing summer movie Pacific Rim doesn’t have much in the way of new footage.

Here’s Rooney Mara On Stage With The Black Lips For Terrence Malick’s New Film By Russ Fischer/Oct. 12, 2012 5:43 pm EST Briefly: This is audience-shot video (by me) from a few rows back during the Black Lips set at the 2012 Austin City Limits festival. As the set kicked off, I could see Ryan Gosling off to the left side of the stage, behind the stacks. Then a small camera crew walked out, following Rooney Mara wearing a guitar....

Mandy Moore To Star In ‘Buried’ Writer Chris Sparling’s Directorial Debut ‘Falling Slowly’ By Angie Han/March 1, 2011 11:30 am EST Back in the late ’90s, when Mandy Moore first appeared on the pop music scene, I would’ve never predicted she’d still be an active famous person in the early 2010s. Of course, I also dismissed Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and everyone in ‘NSYNC as one-hit wonders destined to fade into obscurity by about 2001, so that shows what I know....

Watch The Muppets Appearance On ‘WWE Monday Night Raw’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 2, 2011 12:30 pm EST This is a bit weird. The WWE show Monday Night Raw has turned into a hotbed of movie cross-promotion. Hugh Jackman recently appeared on Raw to help promote Real Steel, and the results were sometimes difficult to watch. Now it is the Muppets turn.
