Longtime rabble-rouser Michael Moore's latest, 'Capitalism: A Love Story,' touches on subject matter that's been near and dear to Moore's heart since his breakout hit documentary, 'Roger & Me.' With the recent economic meltdown, Moore's look at a system he calls "immoral" and "undemocratic" couldn't be timelier.

Moviefone dished with the controversial director about why he thinks folks take their money out of the bank, what could keep him from making another movie -- and what three traits overweight people seem to share.

Rumer Willis, the eldest of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's three girls, is so far the only one to follow in the footsteps of mom and dad (and stepdad Ashton Kutcher). In her first two roles, at 7 and 8, she played it pretty close to home -- she was Demi's daughter in the '96 movie 'Now and Then' and again in '97's 'Striptease.' Her next two roles after that were in Bruce's flicks 'The Whole Nine Yards' and 'Hostage.'

Now Rumer -- who recently turned 21 -- is making her own way as an actress. She stars in the ensemble horror flick 'Sorority Row' and has a recurring role on the upcoming second season of the CW's '90210' remake. We chatted with the second-generation thespian about her nerdy side, advice from the 'rents ... and which hair color really has the most fun.

While I certainly won't deny that many (if not most) pop stars should stick to singing and leave the acting to people who can, um, act, you must admit that there are a few examples of singers who really are double threats. My colleague Kevin Polowy looked at the flip side in his post '5 Reasons Pop Stars Shouldn't Make Movies,' and now I want to give the topic a positive spin -- because that's just the kind of gal I am.

'Funny People' director Judd Apatow has pals who show up again and again in his projects. But of all his acting crew, Leslie Mann is, undoubtedly, the one who's nearest and dearest to his heart. She'd better be -- she's his wife and the mother of his children.

Apatow's not the first auteur who's directed his wife or lover, but unlike many famous Hollywood couples who work together, Apatow and Mann were already married with two daughters when they first collaborated professionally. Here are some top celeb couples making beautiful (or not) movies together -- and the sometimes-messy details about their relationships.

'Astro Boy': Family Fare or Fanboy Fave?

Fanboys and families alike should get ready for 'Astro Boy.' The Japanese anime icon -- apparently he's the Mickey Mouse of Japan -- is getting his first feature-length film. It's not out till Oct. 23, but we recently got a sneak peek. Though we won't speak for the manga-loving crowd, we can (and will!) say that in terms of kid appeal, 'Astro Boy' looks to be ready for his close-up.

You're surely familiar with Astro Boy and his side-spiked 'do, whether from the comic book that originated in 1951, the black-and-white TV show in '63, the reincarnations of the series, in '82 and again in '03 ... or at the very least, from hipster T-shirts or ironically iconic lunchboxes.

You won't find this summer's breakout star in short shorts on magazine covers (if you do, we want to see that) or see his every move chronicled across the web. In fact, you may not even know how to pronounce his name -- it's Zach Galifianakis (Gal-i-fa-NA-kiss) -- but you probably recognize him as the scene-stealing man-boy Alan in the surprise hit raunch-fest 'The Hangover.'

Now the improv genius brings his talents to far more family-friendly fare, the guinea pig-superspy caper 'G-Force.' We caught up with the busy funnyman and dished about acting with green screen, old folks ... and Brad Pitt?

Hmm ... a movie with a ridiculously long title featuring a boy hero based on a children's fantasy novel series -- sound like anyone we know? ('Harry Potter,' we're looking at you.)

The upcoming 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,' due out in Feb. 2010, is adapted from 'The Lightning Thief,' the first novel in the 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' series by Rick Riordan. Its young leading man, Percy, discovers that he's the son of a Greek god ... and the adventure begins.
