Cobie Smulders is not accustomed to being singled out. The How I Met Your Mother star and Marvel universe apparatchik tends to operate in the company of others, which is why she found herself somewhat stricken with panic earlier this year at the Sundance premiere of her latest film, Unexpected, which opens in theaters and on demand this Friday. "Oh shit," she recalls thinking. "I'm in every scene."
It's true, she is — though it's about time. Fans of her CBS sitcom, which concluded its nine-season run last year, might agree...

About the films:
From the very beginning of his incandescent career, the New German Cinema enfant terrible Rainer Werner Fassbinder refused to play by the rules. His politically charged, experimental first films, made at an astonishingly rapid rate between 1969 and 1970, were influenced by the work of the Antiteater, an avant-garde stage troupe that he had helped found in Munich. Collected here are five of those fascinating and confrontational works. Whether a self- conscious meditation on American crime movies, a scathing indictment of xenophobia in contemporary Germany, or an off-the-wall look at the dysfunctional relationships on film sets, each is a startling glimpse into the mind...

Gigi Stopper is the fiesty, opinionated, widowed Texas dame who enjoys a stiff drink as much as she loves church. Annie Potts, who portrays Gigi on the freshman ABC dramedy "Gcb," calls her "the hostess with the mostest ...belle of the ball ... Auntie Mame." Potts has been a steady presence on television for the past quarter century with regular series roles on "Love and War" (Emmy nod in 1994), "Dangerous Minds," "Any Day Now" (SAG bids in 1999 and 2000), and most famously "Designing Women." She co-starred with Dixie Carter on that long-running CBS comedy and is now using some of her late friend's traits on "Gcb." In a video chat with senior editors Rob Licuria and Chris Beachum, Potts said, "Because I knew her so well, this is very much in character for her.
