Ad content continues below Youre reprising your role as Jenny Lewis this Saturday what brought you back toPrimeval? And I got to do it, which was excellent.

Jennifer Garners ill-fated movie career? All the fault ofAlias. That big red ball of liquid inStar Trek?Alias.Losts seat of the pants plotting?Aliasdid it first. This post-Buffyspy romp lives on in DVD and download form, and is long overdue a bit of appreciation. She gets in, she kicks ass, she gets out again. Except, when she gets captured, in which case the ass-kicking is slightly delayed. LikeLost, its difficult to predict....

Heres Harrys pick of the 10 games to look forward to in 2011… And if you wanted a silver jumpsuit, you could make one out of tin foil and CDs.

Yeah, its all to do with the script. Initially, its all to do with the script. In that sense, youve collaborated with a handful of name writers, such as Hanif Kureishi.

Did you train as a dancer for the part? Not to be a ballet dancer, actually, but I thought it was a complement for an actor. So, I believed it, and thats why I trained.

Have you ever been manipulated by a director in the way that your character manipulates Natalies? I would never let that happen!...

Vince Vaughn and Kevin James join forces in Ron Howard’s new comedy, The Dilemma. Ronny is tall, handsome, and long on charisma, despite being short on brains. Nick is short, pudgy, and as smart as he is awkward. Now Ronny faces the dilemma that is at the heart ofThe Dilemma.

With Drive Angry 3D on the horizon, we celebrate the cinematic majesty of Nicolas Cage in full flow.
