Moviegoers flocked into theaters in support of "Rio!" The animated family film featuring the voices of Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg claimed the top spot with an impressive $40 million box-office take, giving it the best debut so far this year.

It's a weekend of good and bad for Russell Brand. The comedian's "Hop," where he voices the character E.B., continues to dominate box-office for the second-straight weekend with $21.7 million.

I truly mean it when I say, I adore this young actress! Since seeing her in "Atonement," I’ve always admired Saoirse Ronan’s talent. And she is equally amazing in "Hanna" where she plays the mysterious title character.

Meeting Eric Bana for a second time was a delight! I interviewed the actor for 2009’s "Star Trek" and now, I’m blessed to sit with him again for "Hanna" where he plays the title character’s father figure.

Joe Wright received rave reviews with his Academy Award-nominated films such as 2005’s "Pride and Prejudice" and 2007’s "Atonement." This time, he’s ditching period films to embrace the action genre with "Hanna."
