By The Huffington Post News Editors George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Bill Murray lead the voice cast of "Fantastic Mr. Fox," adapted by director Wes Anderson from the Roald Dahl children's book about a poultry-thieving fox and three evil farmers. 5. "Michael Jackson's This Is It," $5.1 million.

By Marshall Fine Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) is a family man with a larcenous heart. His instinct tells him to raid the local chicken coops - but his love for his wife (Meryl Streep) has made him promise to give it all up and settle down, working a less dangerous job. (The irony, of course, is that Anderson g...

By Randy Shaw While Michael Moore's efforts to dramatically increase his Sicko audience through a film critical of capitalism may fall short, his ambitions stand in sharp contrast to that of Hollywood's many other "liberal" filmmakers and actors.

By The Huffington Post News Editors This year, the film that has generated the greatest buzz is "Up in the Air," the latest by Reitman, director of the hits "Juno" and "Thank You for Smoking," and son of Hollywood director Ivan Reitman ("Ghost Busters").

He plays a corporate terminator - no, not a hit man but a guy whose company is hired to handle large-scale lay-offs for companies without the balls to do the firing themselves. It's the best performance of Clooney'...

Still, I'll wait for the reviews instead of my tiny sampling of opinion. I see Hollywood Reporter has already raved about the Coens film, which I imagine will be the first of many at the very...

By Michael Giltz THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS * 1/2 out of **** This George Clooney comedy is based on the true-ish stories of the US military's exploration of psychic abilities and the paranormal as potential weapons for war.

The A...

By The Huffington Post News Editors You haven't heard the message we had?" Clooney asked Sarah Larson, when they were sitting on the sofa in L.A. "It's about you, you know." The hunt hit a dead end, according to the NY Post. Clooney also talked about advice from Steven Spielberg:
