Movie City News has added rough, uncut video interviews to its mix of blogs. Up currently is a three-part chat with Vinessa Shaw, who strolls self-consciously through Palisades Park in Santa Monica gabbing with her friend Amy, who is off-camera. Shaw, who played the friendly street prostitute in Eyes Wide Shut, talks about her role in the remake of The Hills Have Eyes and her experiences as a pretty face and child of Hollywood.
