As Hurricane Sandy pelts the East Coast, everybody has the storm on their minds.

The Wizard of Oz is a perfect movie to get your mind of the current climate.

And Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is literally the most delicious story you could ever eat.

Watch Zoe Saldana talk about future Avatar and Star Trek sequels.
