"Meatballs" Continues To Rain In Theaters

28 September 2009 1:36 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Meatballs still pour at the box office. The Sony Pictures Animation film "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" stayed at the top spot after two weeks with .6 million.

The all-star voice cast - Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Neil Patrick Harris, James Caan, Bruce Campbell, Andy Samberg, Mr. T, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Benjamin Brat, Al Roker, Lauren Graham, and Will Forte - managed to beat iconic action star Bruce Willis' sci-fi offering "Surrogates," which landed at second place with million.

Also new this week is the 2009 version of "Fame," which collected million at 3rd place, a paltry sum compared to the hype surrounding the loose remake.

The sci-fi/horror flick "Pandorum," starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster, also debuted this weekend, finishing at sixth place with .4 million.

'Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs': Spaghetti Tornadoes And A Chicken Army

18 September 2009 8:21 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »

'It looks fantastic,' star Bill Hader says of the movie's effects.

The classic children's book "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" spins a tall, tasty tale about a mythical land in which the sky rains orange juice and storms hamburgers, while every so often a pea-soup fog rolls in.

The how and why of this culinary weather — the meat and potatoes of the story, if you will — is never explained in Judi Barrett's slim 1978 book. All we know is that the deliciousness turns suddenly dangerous for the townsfolk of Chewandswallow — massive school flattening pancakes! Salt and pepper winds! — and they're forced into survival mode.

The new 3-D animated adaptation of "Cloudy" dreams up an origin story for the mouthwatering climate — a loony young inventor named Flint Lockwood creates a machine that turns water into food — but »

Exclusive Video: Anna Faris & Bill Hader Report on Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs

17 September 2009 12:40 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

You know, some things never go out of style and that certainly seems true for 3D animation. Starting with this summer's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and continuing later this year with James Cameron's highly anticipated Avatar and even Disney's re-release of Toy Story on IMAX 3D next month, it definitely seems to be a popular trend these days. Not to be out done, Sony Animation is now releasing their version of Judi and Ron Barrett's classic children's story Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on IMAX 3D, in theatres everywhere on September 18th. I had the chance to speak exclusively to the stars of the film, Anna Faris, Bill Hader and Bobb'e J. Thompson about this delicious movie that will leave you asking for seconds.

The film features Saturday Night Live star, Bill Hader as the voice of Flint Lockwood, a hapless inventor longing for the approval of his Father, »

Brushing Off the Dust of Comic-Con 2009 Part 2

Brushing Off the Dust of Comic-Con 2009 Part 3

We shut Dick's down. As some of the party moved towards the Hard Rock, we decided to call it a night. It was the only sleep I got the entire trip, as I was to be up and going at it full bore on Thursday with no plan of stopping for a second. 10:00 am was the Masters of the Web panel. Paulington was at the table, and all the guys arrived in their tway Twilight gear. Kevin Munroe, director of Dead of Night, moderated the presentation, kicking things off with an open discussion directed towards the audience. The framework of this verbal essay was on par with what we've seen in earlier years. The same old hobo backwash about running your own site, getting paid, and not getting laid. »

Sneak Peek: 'Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs' Looks Mostly Sunny

20 July 2009 6:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Yes, we're aware that's a cheeseburger.

Cinematical got a sneak peek at several of the scenes from Sony's upcoming CGI film Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs recently, and about the worst thing we can say about it is that it's Pixar ... ish. Which is a bit like saying, "Gee, your watch sure looks like a Rolex." Not entirely insulting. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and Cloudy looks extremely sharp, the jokes are funny, and it made me very hungry. Plus it has a great voice cast featuring Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Bruce Campbell, Neal Patrick Harris, Andy Samberg, Tracy Morgan, James Caan, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Will Forte and Mr. T (!). So who's complaining?

Writer/directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, creators of the gone-before-its-time Clone High (which I can't praise enough -- unfortunately it's only available via bootleg, or in Canada), took us through the story »

With Michael Jackson's death occurring just three days before the Bet Awards, the show's organizers quickly overhauled it to become a tribute to the singer. And from covers of the singer's hit songs to clips from his iconic music videos to poignant tributes from leading artists, the ninth annual Bet Awards became a full-blown celebration of the life and music of the King of Pop.

The nearly four-hour show kicked off with New Edition performing a medley of Jackson 5 hits like "ABC" and "The Love You Save" that garnered a standing ovation from the packed auditorium. Then host Jamie Foxx came onstage dressed in copies of Jackson's iconic red leather jacket and single sparkling glove for an abbreviated performance »

Bobb'e's Bro Mitzvah

8 June 2009 6:03 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

IMDb says that Bobb'e J. Thompson (Role Models) has been a rapper since the age of 5. Shocking then that only now do I stumble upon this video of him. Anyway, here he is rapping about how he wishes he was Jewish so he could have a Bar Mitzvah and make some money. It probably won't win him a Grammy, but possibly a place in your heart, alongside your mother, Sarah Mclachlan, and myself. »

Boos! and Whoop-doos!: The Epic Origins of a Future Summer

1 June 2009 10:54 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The Origin Film? Whoop-doo!

The origin film has dominated the box office for most of May. We learned how Wolverine got his claws, how James T. Kirk came to captain the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, how John Connor came to lead the Resistance, and how Robert Langdon settled for that goofy-ass hairdo. Despite these tales being repetitive and unnecessary, they've pulled in record grosses. Some have been enthralling; others have left their fans irate. But all have been successful on some level. That can only mean one thing in Hollywood: More of the same. For each origin film that tops $100 million in ticket sales, another five are being placed into production. Why are they so popular? Because they breed familiarity. They are an easy sale item. Even though we know these epic myths and legends by heart, that won't stop some lofty director from churning them out »

Butt Grabs, Brad Jokes and Bruno Galore at the Spike TV Awards

1 June 2009 7:45 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards was filmed on Saturday night in La and started with a bang when Mel Gibson came out riding a horse and wearing a viking hat. He introduced Brad Pitt to induct Fight Club into the Guy Movie Hall of Fame. Brad kept it sassy saying, "Thanks sugart*ts," making a jab at Mel's DUI arrest in 2006. Halle Berry and Jamie Foxx continued the trend of fun and silliness, going at it on stage after she won the "Decade of Hotness" title. Sacha Baron Cohen got all decked out as Bruno to accept a trophy as Robert Downey Jr. and Clint Eastwood posed together backstage. Quentin Tarantino cozied up to Rosario Dawson when he accepted "Most Man-ticipated Movie" for Inglourious Basterds and Mickey Rourke received "Guy of the Year." Other winners included Megan Fox and Mila Kunis and we'll get to see all the fun »

In order to be nominated for Breakthrough Male Performance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, you had to be foreign, dreamy, British, funny or a combination of all four.

The category also finds Dev Patel nominated for his role in the Oscar-winning flick "Slumdog Millionaire." Then there's Bobb'e J. Thompson for his hysterical turn in "Role Models," Taylor Lautner in "Twilight" and Ben Barnes in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian."

Patel might have starred in one of the biggest films of the past awards season, but it's going to be hard for him to beat out Pattinson. The same goes for Barnes, »
