The Forbidden Kingdom is where Jackie Chan and Jet Li will duel it out onscreen for the very first time! Expect some awesome ass-kicking! I'm not a big fan of the kid though. He looks a bit too goofy (and out of place) in this action film.
A discovery made by a kung fu obsessed American teen sends him on an adventure to China, where he joins up with a band of martial arts warriors in order to free the imprisoned Monkey King.

The short version from IMBB:
The mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth, so Hellboy and his team must save the world from the rebellious creatures.
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it’s up to the planet’s toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it’s time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).

As promised yesterday, 3D Realms has given us a quick glimpse at what Duke Nukem Forever may look like, that is, if it ever appears on the market. It isn't much, but from the looks of it, Duke's been keeping fit all these years. Still, I'd prefer some shots of Duke kicking ass to a couple of aliens screaming at me.
I'm looking for some alien toilet to park my bricks. Who's first?

Here's the second Wall-E trailer that isn't even on its official site yet. Like the last Wall-E teaser, there's no dialogue, only wonderful lively background music. The plot goes a bit like this -
On an abandoned Earth where trash has taken over, a robot named WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) accidentally finds the means for humans to return to their planet. Another machine, EVE, leaves to tell humanity the good news, and WALL-E follows her into space. (rottentomatoes.com)

Will Smith's upcoming film, Hancock, is about him starring as a super-laid-back superhero. How much of a bum is he, you ask. Well, just click play to find out. Don't miss the wicked ending!
After laughing my way through it, I'm sensing that Hancock = the movie version of What if Superman was one of us (song: What if God was One of Us by Joan Osborne).

I'm a bit late on this one but here's the crappy 6:30 minutes in-film cam footage of the Dark Knight aka the IMAX Prologue (I'm sure you can guess why). This short clip is all about the Joker and his crew, so fans of the Dark Knight himself may be quite disappointed. Not a problem for me though, although I'd prefer the rest of it as well. :D
As for the official high-res trailer (Death trap), you can also watch and download it at A Taste For The Theatrical.

Apple just released 3 more iPhone ads in addition to the 3 commercials that I posted earlier. It continues along the same theme about how the iPhone helps in the users' everyday lives. But I bet you're more interested in Kristin Sloan (or her official website) or the play, My First Time (may not be work safe).

PopSci has a look at a working prototype of Texas Instruments' cellphone projector, the Pico Projector. If you had no idea what that meant, think of a laser pointer. Except that instead of a tiny little dot on a screen, it's a full blown image of anything you want to show. Vacation pictures, Youtube videos or even game/movie trailers.
It would be pretty cool if a camera handphone like the iPhone got equipped with one of these mini projectors. Throw in a slideshow function and some simple transition effects, and you've just got yourself a bunch of Flickr folks who would be dying to get their hands on one.
[Video from PopSci]
And while you're drooling over the Pico projector, here's the latest Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer for your viewing pleasure.

And here's the song featured in the World in Conflict video - Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. A great 80s group by the way.

And the second Halo 3 ad is out! No dialogue this time, just some melodramatic music and who is that at the end? Why it's Master Chief himself, but who or what is beside him? Well, like it says you just have to "Believe".
So you've seen both ads, and wonder how it was made? Have a behind-the-scenes look in the making of Master Chief John 117 Monument. Almost makes you feel sad for the fella.
Edit: You may also want to check out Halo 3 wallpapers here.

What happens when your perfect life is threatened by a kidnapper? What would you do? How far will you go? What would you risk? This thriller, starring Gerard Butler, Maria Bello and Pierce Brosnan is not just another kidnapping movie. The characters aren't really sure of the kidnapper's motives, plus there's a twist in the ending. An IMDB rating of 9.5 from 300+ people surely says something about Shattered.
Even if you're not planning on buying or playing the Simpsons Game, you should watch this trailer of the upcoming Simpsons Game. Why? For starters, it's the Simpsons. And it's a wonderful parody of Medal of Honor, complete with black and white footage, supported by serious orchestral music. It's best to keep quiet now, lest I spoil the experience for you. Perhaps this will change your mind about the Simpsons Game.
