"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" sold $42 million worth of box-office tickets for the three-day weekend.

As a general rule in the movies, dysfunction is better offered as a side dish rather than a main course, accenting what’s really a story of grieving and letting go, or coming of age, or self-acceptance.

Australian director George Miller’s Happy Feet was one of the surprise pleasures of the 2006 moviegoing year. The story was simple: A young Emperor penguin who has no skill for singing, a necessary skill in wooing a mate, discovers instead that he has a flair for dancing.

It was such an honor finally meeting Robin Williams. I’ve been a huge fan ever since "Mork & Mindy" so it was a thrill talking to the Academy Award-winner about his role in "Happy Feet Two."

I love, love, love Elijah Wood! He was very sweet and accommodating in person, and he’s exactly how you imagined him. Oh my gosh…it’s Frodo! Wood returns to the role of Mumble, he’s now a father and having a hard time connecting with his son Erik.

Not only is Hank Azaria a great comedian, he’s also a fantastic voiceover actor. In the new movie "Happy Feet Two," he voices the mysterious Sven, a penguin who can fly.

In 2006, Happy Feet became a critical and commercial success culminating with an Academy Award win for Best Animated Feature. In 2011, the franchise continues to tap dance its way into our hearts with a brand new sequel that stays true to the spirit of the original.

"Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family" edged out "Water for Elephants" but both movies were no match for "Rio." The animated film sold $26.8 million tickets to remain as the No. 1 movie in America for the second-straight weekend.

Even though CinemaCon was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, the actors visiting us in the press room before the awards ceremony on March 31st were promoting spring and summer films that hadn’t been released yet. In fact, most of these movies still haven’t been, so it seems like a good time to share what they had to say.

I'm happy to report that I just saw Relativity Media's
"Take Me Home Tonight" starring Topher Grace, Anna Faris, and Dan Fogler from director Michael Dowse.
