The Tracey Fragments Movie Trailer And Poster By Peter Sciretta/May 20, 2007 12:25 am EST Are you an early adopter? I bought my first DVD player for like $400. I’m that guy.

Anne Hathaway Named Best Actress On Golden Globes Website By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 8, 2009 11:34 pm EST Earlier today people noticed something strange on the Official Golden Globe’s website — Anne Hathaway was marked as the winner for Best Actress in a Drama.

Miller as Hud, the frazzled cameraman/comic relief in Matt Reeves’ Cloverfield. Turns out that since that performance, Miller has been angling for a role in the forthcoming adaptation of Yogi Bear.
