Cool new trailer for strange animated movie.Post-apocalyptic burlap zipper boy roams the world. Kind of a Lord of the Rings meets Terminator. — Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Acker's distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman. When 9 (The Lord of the Ring's Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

Benazir Bhutto's Daughter Pays Tribute With Rap Song and Video.
Yo. Close inspection will show that no malt liquor was dumped for homies or otherwise during the making of this video.
Bakhtawar is her name. Rapping for the slain Pakastani Prime Minister is her game. —
Benazir Bhutto's eldest daughter released a rap song tribute to her slain mother who was murdered in December of '07. (Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state having twice been Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996). She was Pakistan's first and to date only female prime minister.)
So it's strange that her daughter would not only go public with a song. And a RAP song, to boot.
The song, written and performed by 18-year-old Bakhtawar is being broadcast regularly on Pakistan's state-run television, part of a flood of tributes paid to the former prime minister a year after her assassination.
"You have beauty and intelligence, everything you did have relevance," sings Bakhtawar, with a borrowed Brooklyn accent, over looping beats. "Shot in the back of your ear, so young in 54th year, murdered with three kids left behind, a hopeless nation without you, you are in all their hearts."

2008. A year in movies.. A retrospective.Watch. — I love movie montages. It's my favorite part of the Oscars and they always have a good one at the beginning. Here's one of the movies from 2008. You'll see some pretty recognizable scenes and shots - many that have become iconographic (like Heath Ledger's Joker sticking his head and half his body out of police car in the early morning light). The music is a little too touchy-feely but it's a cool way to look back on all the images and remember what a good year it was for film.

Breaiks silence to silence rumors.
Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs, a survivor of pancreatic cancer, said that a hormone imbalance is —
The 53-year-old said in a public letter that his thinness had been a mystery even to him and his doctors until a few weeks ago, when 'sophisticated blood tests' confirmed that he has 'a hormone imbalance that has been `robbing' me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy.'
Mr Jobs said he will undergo a 'relatively simple' treatment and will remain in charge of Apple.
