The Lyons Den

It has been six years since their supernatural show went off the air, but David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson still have that Mulder-Scully chemistry going. As The X-Files: I Want to Believe opens this week, I sat down with the stars to talk about fast-growing facial hair, their characters' relationship and, like, how they feel about Amy Winehouse. Check the clip to get the full story.

Semi-Pro, Walk Hard and now Step Brothers—Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have bee­n on a blue streak with R-rated comedy after R-rated comedy. So what's the deal? Do they hate kids, or what? I asked them this week, so check the clip to find out what they said.

In Step Brothers, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly play—you guessed it—40-year-old stepbrothers still living at home with the 'rents. When we sat down recently to chat, these two funny dudes let loose about how painful it can be making physical comedy. Plus, Ferrell offered a few tips on how to make it big with your own FunnyorDie.com. Hit the clip to get the full story.

Big week for Batman, and star Maggie Gyllenhaal has obviously thought about The Dark Knight even more than the rest of us. She tells me why the movie goes far beyond just "fun," and she shares what it's like filming one of the scariest scenes with Heath Ledger. Check the clip to get the full story.

And if you missed 'em, catch my interviews with the rest of the cast—and director Christopher Nolan—after the jump.

Finally! It's here! Starting tonight, The Dark Knight invades more than 4,300 screens—many of them IMAX—bringing the return of Batman, one of the most beloved characters in American pop culture.

After Christopher Nolan teamed with Christian Bale to relaunch the franchise in 2005, there's been new interest in the billionaire vigilante. And that, combined with the truly breathtaking performance from the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, has created a hysteria around the film. Midnight screenings are sold out and theaters are adding hourly showings from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.

So look for The Dark Knight to pull in a weekend total of $112 million. Only reason I'm not calling it higher is because it's not a holiday, kids are still away at camp, and Hancock, Hellboy II and WALL-E will still put up strong numbers.

What do you think? Can Bruce Wayne close an even bigger deal? Drop your numbers in the comments!

When I sat down with Gary Oldman, who plays the iconic Commissioner Gordon in The Dark Knight, he had plenty to say about his fellow Batstars. But check this clip to see which of his other recent costars left a big impression.

You wouldn't know it from the marketing, but there are actually two villains in The Dark Knight—and Batman foes don't get more different than Heath Ledger's Joker and Aaron Eckhart's Harvey "Two Face" Dent. I sat down with Eckhart recently, and he dished about what brought him to Gotham and that thing Christian Bale's got that the rest of us don't. Hit the clip for the full story.

Batman has some "serious issues," according to The Dark Knight star Christian Bale. No kidding! When I sat down recently with the intense actor, he dished on how real Gotham City looks, how Heath Ledger vanished onscreen and how he'd like to get totally fat for a role. Also, remember Treasure Island and American Psycho, you guys? Anyway, hit the clip and hear what the real Bruce Wayne has to say.

Obviously, topic A in movies right now is The Dark Knight, and much of the talk is about Heath Ledger's mind-blowing performance as the Joker. Same story when I sat down with the cast—they all had plenty to say about their late costar and his freaky villainous turn. Director Chris Nolan also explained what he saw in Heath before even casting him for the part.

Hit the clip to see what I mean, and keep checking back for plenty more Bat coverage this week.

Haven't you noticed? It's the Summer of the Fanboy, with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Wanted and next week's The Dark Knight bringing all kinds of superhero action. Now comes the return of visionary director Guillermo del Toro, with his twist on the genre, Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

The first film was a modest success in 2004 ($60 million domestic, with a $23 million opening weekend), and del Toro has since blown up huge: His Pan's Labyrinth scored six Oscar noms (and three wins), and he recently landed the gig directing two movies based on The Hobbit.

So look for Hellboy II: The Golden Army to surprise the industry and pull in $32.5 million this weekend. The first one has been huge on DVD, and heroes rule the summer.

Plus, does anybody care about a little Eddie Murphy inside Eddie Murphy? Gimme a break. Put your numbers up in the comments, and we'll see who's really, like, super.

They're billing the new Paul Rudd-Jason Segel flick I Love You, Man as a "bromantic comedy," so I had to hit the set to find out what that even means. Check out the clip to see what the boys—plus Jaime Pressly and Jon Favreau—have to say about bromance, Iron Man and Rashida Jones.

The Wackness is, no doubt about it, the freshest indie flick of the summer. But when I sat down with star Josh Peck, he didn't feel like such a hot property. Check the clip to see which of his costars clocked in with the highest cool factor.
