Simon Pegg says he wouldn’t want to play two of his memorable characters — Shaun, from “Shaun of the Dead” and Nicholas Angel from “Hot Fuzz” — again, but he could see himself growing old in the role of Montgomery Scott in the “Star Trek” franchise.

“I should be so lucky — I’m already growing old in it!” said the 43-year-old Pegg. “It’s funny to think that we might be playing this again and...

There’s a moment when you’re watching the latest installment of Marvel Comics’ “Iron Man” superhero franchise when you realize that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is not really wearing the Iron Man armor that often. And you’re totally fine with that.

That’s...

NYC cartoonist Lucy Knisley grew up with a mother who was a chef, so its not surprising that her sophomore graphic novel would be a foodie treat.

“I’ve grown up among a family preoccupied with food,” she says. “I’m delighted that I can make comics — my favorite medium of storytelling — to celebrate food, my favorite topic.”

“Relish” is one part a graphic memoir of her life, but it also...

In and out of the squared circle, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has faced off against a number of opponents, from Vin Diesel in "Fast Five" to wrestler CM Punk, who he defeated at the WWE's "Royal Rumble" in January to land the WWE Championship belt.

When The Rock's not defending his title (which he did successfully this past Sunday at the WWE's "Elimination...

'Argo' The big talk about this terrific film is how star-director Ben Affleck was snubbed by the Oscars. But that discussion is pointless. Affleck's lack of a Best Director nomination hardly detracts from this wonderfully crafted thriller, based on a true story, about hostages trapped in Iran and the man (Affleck) who devises a clever plan to get them out. (DVD, $28.98; Blu-ray/DVD combo, $35.99)...

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Comedian Anthony Jeselnik - best known for his extremely dark humor - is actually a pretty nice guy.

But nice guys can't get away with joking about some of the conventionally taboo subjects he frequently riffs on.

To get away with making these jokes, Jeselnik developed an ultra confident stage persona, which gives him a lot more freedom.
