Allie Merriam — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:38:21 PST

Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara made their latest The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo press stop in NYC last night. The stars of the film reconvened at the Big Apple's Ziegfeld Theatre for their stateside premiere after also showing off the film in Stockholm and London this week. Rooney's promotional tour style has included lots of cutout dresses, and yesterday's was similar. She rocked a black frock from Prabal Gurung that featured a sheer back. Her big sister, actress Kate Mara, showed her support in coral Christian Dior.

We caught up with a number of Daniel's and Rooney's costars on the red carpet. Joely Richardson said you see a lot of Daniel, the person, in this performance, while Stellan Skarsgård thinks playing Lisbeth Salander will change Rooney's life. Christopher Plummer stepped out a few hours after earning a Screen Actors Guild Award nod for Beginners. He said, though, that he doesn't celebration nominations, just wins. Additionally, Embeth Davidtz told us that Daniel's character in the movie, Mikael Blomkvist, has one important thing in common with his James Bond - they're both handsome! Stay tuned for our red carpet report later today on PopSugar Rush.

HappyThankYouMorePlease: Pleasingly Precious

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:34:30 PST

HappyThankYouMorePlease is the directorial debut of How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor, who wrote and stars in the indie romance. He plays Sam, a writer living in New York City in his late 20s. En route to a meeting, he happens upon a young boy named Rasheen, who's been left alone on the subway. Not sure what to do, Sam becomes Rasheen's reluctant guardian for the next few days. As ill-equipped Sam deals with his new charge and finds a possible love interest (Kate Mara), we meet his friends: unlucky-in-love Annie (Malin Akerman) and couple Mary Catherine and Charlie (Zoe Kazan and Pablo Schreiber).

Radnor's first feature is an impressive effort; the individual stories are only moderately compelling, but the slice of life he portrays makes for a disarming and completely enjoyable experience. To find out why else I liked about HappyThankYouMorePlease, just

read more. The entire cast is charming, and each character is likable (even when Sam has a tendency to dip into stereotypical jerky male tendencies). The way he treats Mississippi (Mara), vacillating between puppy dog infatuation and freaked-out dismissal, is maddening, but only because it's how many men his age would behave. For her part, Mississippi's behavior is also realistic; she's charmed by Sam at first but wounded when he disappoints her. Akerman is believable as the single Annie, who is affected by Alopecia, but even more afflicted by her poor choices in men. It's nice to see Akerman de-glammed and expressing real vulnerability. I appreciate it even more that Annie suffers from emotional pitfalls, but she's still a strong woman with multiple dimensions. But perhaps the movie's great standout is Kazan. As Mary Catherine, she's hit a wall in her current relationship with her boyfriend, who's mulling a cross-country move for work. The struggle comes through in Kazan's eyes, even when she's cracking jokes to hide her true feelings. She's matched closely by Schreiber, who is caught between his love for Mary Catherine and his desire to move his life forward. The real gems in Radnor's script lie in the documentation of mundane aspects of his character's lives. Their dialogue about dating and relationships feels authentic, and sometimes frighteningly familiar. Some lines are so relatable that you can't help but laugh. That's also Radnor's other strong suit; the script is often funny, and it's the humor that saves a lot of the contrived situations. Some of his plot points, like Rasheen's entrance into Sam's life, feel forced, while others feel overly cutesy. Still, the lens of optimism that's present throughout the film keeps it all afloat.

Malin Akerman and Kate Mara Talk Risking It All For Romance and Convincing Josh Radnor to Hire Them!

PopSugar — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 07:00:00 PST

Malin Akerman and Kate Mara play two important women in the life of Josh Radnor’s character, Sam, in the upcoming HappyThankYouMorePlease. We talked to the actresses at their recent LA press day for the film, and both admitted that it took some convincing before Josh would cast them in his directorial debut. Their persistence paid off, though - not only was the movie one of our favorites at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, but it gave both stars the chance to stretch their boundaries. Malin sports a bald cap to portray a woman with alopecia and Kate debuts a lovely singing voice in the movie, which is in limited release this week. Check out our interview with the leading ladies and find out what Josh had to say about his costars.

2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Kate Mara

BellaSugar — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:48:33 PST

Kate Mara must be a member of the Blair Waldorf fan club, because she certainly loves a good fancy headband. Wearing a dress that's Herve Leger but somehow looks very Valentino on the bottom, she's got her getup accessorized with the aforementioned headband, a tight bun, and plenty of bold black eyeliner. It's eclectic, but do you think it works?Vote on all of our Screen Actors Guild Awards polls here!

Peep World Trailer: Michael C. Hall and Rainn Wilson Are a Dysfunctional Family

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:42:10 PST

The trailer for Peep World makes it look a lot like The Royal Tenenbaums, if one of the Tenenbaum kids had written a book about the family and infuriated everyone. Youngest child Nathan Meyerwitz (Parks and Recreation's Ben Schwartz) has just published Peep World, exploiting the lives and problems of each of his siblings. The casting of the brothers and sister is its biggest draw: Michael C. Hall, Rainn Wilson, and Sarah Silverman make up the Meyerwitz family, and if those actors aren't enough to get you interested, there's also Judy Greer, Taraji P. Henson, and Kate Mara in the supporting cast.

The predictable family fight at the dinner tables ensues, relationships are tested, and resentment continues to build toward Nathan. Still, there are some very funny moments in the preview for the indie comedy, so check it out when you
