Look out, 'Breakfast Club,' Zoe Kravitz and the rest of her 'Beware the Gonzo' cast (including 'Greek' star Jesse McCartney and Ezra Miller) are coming to get you when it comes to competition in the teen comedy category.

Kravitz -- yes, the daughter of Lenny and Lisa Bonet -- sat down with Moviefone to talk about 'Gonzo' (which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival), how hysterical the set was, and what she loves about her hometown of New York.

Oscars 2010 Show Review: Decent, But What a Drag

The 2010 Oscars had a handicap before the show's broadcast even began, and it had nothing to do with a Cablevision blackout that was eventually lifted. The real rub lay within the actual awards and nominees, as all four acting categories required little to no discussion as to who might have a golden night and go home with some shiny hardware. So how do you salvage an awards show in which the majority of the nominations that viewers care about aren't even worth a debate? The 2010 Oscars did their best, and at times, it worked well. Others, not so much, which led the show to a sluggish, incongruous anticlimax.

When one has an interview with 'Capitalism: A Love Story' director Michael Moore, you expect certain things: Political talk and outspoken points of view come to mind ... but declaring 'Avatar' as an Iraq war movie was the last thing we expected to hear coming out of the Oscar-winning director's mouth. But, as fate would have it, that's exactly what Mr. Moore said -- among other things -- declaring that he's a huge fan of the James Cameron juggernaut and hopes it prevails at the Oscars. We also spoke about the DVD release of 'Capitalism' this week (Buy it here!), the current state of our economy and if he'd ever make an anti-Obama documentary.

The opening of 'Shutter Island' this weekend marks the fourth collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese -- a pairing of Hollywood powerhouses that have come to prove themselves as the movie duo of the millennium. Whether Leo's playing a special agent trapped in a psych ward (as he does in 'Shutter) or a revenge-seeking son a la 2002's 'Gangs of New York,' it's obvious that Marty has found his new muse, and that Leo -- 32 years his junior -- is willing to go wherever the acclaimed director takes him.

Leonardo DiCaprio is kind of a big deal. With 'Shutter Island' set to blow the collective minds of moviegoers across the country, we had a chance to sit down with the film's stars -- Leo and Sir Ben Kingsley -- to talk about all of the intensity and drama that went into shooting the Martin Scorsese-directed film.

So what did we learn? For one, Leo would never compare his acting skills to those of Robert De Niro and also that he could hold his own in a Boston pizza parlor. As for Sir Ben, we get into his brain about playing a psychiatrist and also how Leo held up against the Oscar winner.
