The second teaser for Astro Boy is up, and squeezes in quite a few new goodies in only 30 seconds: you’ll hear Astro Boy’s voice for the first time as well as meet Dr. Tenma and Cora.

A new, meatier trailer is up for Monsters vs. Aliens: the first half is focused mostly on Ginormica, but you’ll learn more about all the characters (including the big, bad alien invaders).

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Goldfinger re-release, Quantum of Solace is now available on Blu-ray (and DVD); you’ll get full 1080p video and DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio.

Stuffed to the brim with over-the-top visuals, this full 138-second trailer for Goemon is unabashedly epic; it’s directed by Kazuaki Kiriya of Casshern fame and opens this May in Japan.

Classic 1964 Bond movie Goldfinger is coming to Blu-ray tomorrow; you’ll get a widescreen edition with director commentary, DTS-HD audio and the best bond chick ever: Pussy Galore.

Set in an alternate reality 1914, War of the Worlds: Goliath is a steampunk fan’s dream, with humans piloting steam-powered tripods and 1500 foot zeppelins made with Martian tech.

If you liked Forrest Gump in One Minute, the U of York folks are back with Kill Bill in One Minute; it includes both Part 1 and Part 2, all in a single, glorious hack-and-slash filled take.

As much as we like the T-600 endoskeletons, we actually prefer this 1:6 scale John Connor figure; the details are smokin’, from the tactical body harness to the M4A1 with sight.

Empty out your bank account like it’s Judgment Day: the Terminator 2 Complete Collector’s Set (available 5/19) nets you six discs including Blu-ray and a 14″ T-800 Endoskull bust.

NSFW: we’ve always wondered why Arnie had to transport in his birthday suit, and this video by CollegeHumor explains why; never, ever put fashion designers in charge of time travel.

If you’ve got mild ADD like we do, this one-minute, single-take rendition of Forrest Gump is perfect; it was shot by the U. of York Filmmaking Society for the One Minute Film Festival.

Easily the best X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer yet, there’s quite a bit more to sink our teeth/retractable claws into, with more plot exposition and tons of X-Men character reveals.

Above is the second full-length Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer; we agree with VideoETA in that it takes on a darker (but more accurate) tone than previous trailers.

Previously debuted at WonderCon (and today for Watchmen), the latest Trek trailer is fantastic; it lends real gravitas to the movie, elevating it from intergalactic joyride to a bonafide “star trek.”

From the same studio that brought us Full Metal Alchemist, Kurau Phantom Memory’s 24 episodes are available as a DVD box set; you’ll get both English and Japanese audio plus subtitles.

Hype for the upcoming Watchmen film is hitting a fever pitch, but we couldn’t resist sharing this tongue-in-cheek t-shirt by Rocky Davies; it’s screenprinted on an American Apparel tee.

Easily the best trailer yet for Terminator: Salvation, enough juicy details are revealed that it borders on spoiler territory; appropriately, it emphasizes the human side of the story.

The Physics of Superheroes author and professor James Kakalios explains the science behind Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan above; it’s “not strictly correct… but cool nonetheless.”

Whatever your politics, we like that Sundance winner Sleep Dealer takes risks with modern issues; it presents them in a dystopic thriller that mixes Blade Runner with A Brave New World.

If you liked Fanboys, get to know real Star Wars fans (and detractors) in The People vs. George Lucas, a documentary due out in 2010 which takes a grand tour of the Republic franchise.

The humans are the bad guys in Battle for Terra, an animated flick due out May 1st that pits us against some uber cutesy aliens; the plot is a mashup of Titan A.E., Wall-E and A Bug’s Life.

Night at the Museum 2 may not be sophisticated comedy, but there’s just something about historical figures, dinosaurs and biplanes lose in the Smithsonian that makes us grin ear to ear.

Our favorite cinematic spoilsports, The Fine Brothers, return for an encore performance: Movie Spoilers: Oscar Edition is an Academy Award-worthy followup to 100 Movie Spoilers.
