Robin Williams is doing press for Happy Feet Two, and he's apparently in a mood to reminisce. Moviefone got him talking about a lot of his early projects — including how his alien sitcom Mork and Mindy got off the ground: More »

In honor of Moon, opening today, we went kinda loony (get it?) coming up with our favorite lunar scenes in film and TV. (We restricted the list to our own planet's moon; sorry, Saturn and Endor fans.) Watch them here. More »

The Old World tells the story of the last human assassin, in a world where all the other assassins are robots now. Here's hoping it's as twisted and thought-provoking as The Final Cut, but without quite so much heavy-handed speechifying. And maybe a pinch less Robin Williams. More »

If you could replay all of a person's memories like DVDs, would you be God? Or just a shriveled up voyeur? In the movie The Final Cut, almost everybody has a brain implant that records every experience, from birth to death, and then when you die, Robin Williams edits your entire life into a sanitized 90-minute compilation, for your family and friends. But in his spare time, Williams' character watches the memories of his girlfriend Mira Sorvino's dead boyfriend, to pick up some hints — and she's not too thrilled when she finds out. Of the several Robin Williams-creepy voyeur movies from the past decade, this is one of the best, although maybe not as awesome as Brainstorm. [IMDB] More »

Director David Fincher has a movie coming out in November called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, based on the story of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald (you know the guy who wrote The Great Gatsby, that book you read in AP English). It's about a man who is born in his 80s and ages backward. If you think this sounds familiar, then you're probably remembering Mork From Ork's son Mearth from Mork & Mindy. Come on, admit it. You know you are. We compare and contrast the two below. Nanu Nanu! More »

Must-see TV shows are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale. More »
