‘Snitch’ Trailer: Dwayne Johnson Doesn’t Get Stiches
Dwayne Johnson has got a busy 2013. 'Snitch' is his first film of the year, which will be followed by 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation,' then 'Pain and Gain,' and finally this summer's 'Fast Six.'

If you're Marvel Studios, you've got a reason to feel a little cocky. Their film 'The Avengers' was 2012's biggest hit by a wide margin, and they've already set up a game plan of films that stretch into 2015.

Robert Chew, AKA Prop Joe, Dead at 52
The massive achievement that is HBO's 'The Wire' is such that even supporting players left a lasting impression on pop culture.
