“Legendary martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li come together onscreen for the first time ever in director Rob Minkoff’s time-traveling take on the Monkey King fable that finds an American teen transported back to ancient China after wandering into a pawn shop and discovering the king’s fighting stick. Once there, the adventurous teen joins an army of fierce warriors who have sworn to free their imprisoned king at all costs. In addition to appearing as the mythical Monkey King, Li assumes the role of a silent monk, and Chan appears in the role of the monk T’sa-Ho. Famed action choreographer Yuen Woo Ping presides over the fight sequences. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide”

Thinking his days of war and bloodshed are behind him, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) lives a peaceful life in the jungles of Thailand. Even when Christian aid workers ask the former warrior to take them up the Salween River into Burma to deliver medical supplies, he refuses because he knows how dangerous a trip like that can be. The missionaries go anyway, and when they don’t come back, Rambo crosses the border himself and dispatches Burmese soldiers with his traditional gusto to save the kidnapped innocents.

From YEEEAH — Thanks to one talent of a cellphone videographer, YEEEAH brings you the new Batman trailer. See it before it gets taken offline, after the jump!
The trailer for the new Batman flick “Dark Knight” has been leaked online, and as of 12:31 EST Warner Brothers hasn’t yanked it from the Daily Zoom, so knock yourselves out. It’s kinda hard to tell exactly what’s going on in the trailer — what with the no sound and bootleg quality and all — but my reporter’s instinct leads me to believe that a lot of shit is blowing up and that also, Batman has a pretty kick-ass bike. My instincts also indicate that Heath Ledger’s Joker must have been in the middle of spirited bout of “World of Warcraft” or maybe reading aloud some of the free verse from his journal when his mom forbade him from going to the Fall Out Boy concert that night. And thus is born one of the most notorious superhero villains in history. Rated PG-13 for violence, language, and overt gayness.

Are singing chipmunks really so different from Britney Spears?
In “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” our furry, little singing friends have been turned into something like tiny Justin Timberlakes. They use phrases like “sup playa,” perform with Madonna-style headset microphones and even suffer from that chronic tour-canceler: “exhaustion.”
No, they don’t enter rehab, run over paparazzi or suddenly shave off all their hair. But here, Alvin, Simon and Theodore are young pop stars, beholden to their songwriters and susceptible to the whims of label management.
