This weekend "500 Days of Summer" became my favorite movie of the season. The film's non-linear style of romantic storytelling works incredibly well. Jumping back and forth through various days in Tom and Summer's relationship is a fascinating way to get to know the couple.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Tom with an awkward charm that other lovesick fools can identify with. Much like a typical heartbroken lover, Tom finds himself bogged down remembering the positive parts of his relationship but forgetting the trials and tribulations.

While the film is not a typical love story filled w...

Voice acting is a much more lucrative business than one might imagine, with the actors in question providing their voice for animated movies, video games, television shows, voice overs, and anything else that requires a voice but no face. Some actors do only that kind of work, giving themselves a certain amount of fame in that industry, such as "The Simpsons" cast.

Everything changed when voice acting became a business not only for unknowns, but also an attractive fad for celebrities who wanted to broaden their horizons ... or make a movie "for the kids." Now it seems that no animated...

Emily Blunt and Jason Segel have been tapped to join funnyman Jack Black in a new movie version of fictional adventure book Gulliver's Travels.

The pair are reportedly negotiating with bosses at Twentieth Century Fox to co-star with Black, who signed on in November to play a travel writer who gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle and washes up on an island of tiny people. The film, to be directed by Shark Tale's Rob Letterman, will give a modern spin to Jonathan Swift's classic 18th century tale.

However the role may mean Blunt will have to give up a potential role as femme fatale t...

Jack Black had no hesitation in accepting an offer to lend his voice to upcoming animated movie Kung Fu Panda, because he enjoys the easy life of a voiceover artist.

The 37-year-old, who has previously lent his talents to cartoon films Ice Age and Shark Tale, loves not having to go into make-up each morning.

He says, "It's such a sweet gig. There's no hair and make-up. You just roll out of bed. I'd say, 'You guys cool starting at the crack of noon?' I'd show up with a little KooKooRoo rotisserie chicken with the creamed spinach. I'd ease into it, do five hours and call it a day....

Pop superstar Christina Aguilera is to appear in hit TV show CSI: New York, and plans have already been made for a darker theme for the episode.

Aguilera will put her fledgling acting skills to the test in the Crime Scene Investigation series, having previously only voiced a small part in the animated movie Shark Tale.

Executive producer Anthony Zuiker says, "Christina's a fan of the show, and we're excited to have her. The episode will probably explore the topic of battered women."

Aguilera has been an avid campaigner against domestic violence after revealing her father phys...

The film will reunite Jolie and Black after having voiced lead characters together in the hit 2004 animated comedy, Shark Tale.

Jolie will play Tigress, a martial arts master who joins in training Black's Po the Panda in the art of kung fu. "Kung Fu Panda" features Jack Black as Po the Panda, a lowly waiter in a noodle restaurant, who is a kung fu fanatic but whose shape doesn't exactly lend itsel...

Jack Black dined on a grasshopper enchilada while filming his new movie, Nacho Libre. The 36 year-old (star of King Kong and Shark Tale) tried the exotic insect dish in Oaxaca, Mexico, where he is filming the Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) movie.

Jack Black mused to comic book magazine Wizard, “Dude, I did have some grasshopper enchilada! Here’s the thing: It tastes good, but you’re not going to be able to not think about it because you’re eating it and, ‘Now, yes, I distinctly tasted a wing.’ Or, ‘Okay, that was an elbow joint of a bug. That was its skull. I just crushed its skull.”
