- Cinematical has links to a couple of really cool items: a new trailer for Star Trek (which is actually the same as the first one, but with a new surprise ending), and a Flash poster for Terminator: Salvation.
- Download Squad picks six movies you could buy for the geek on your holiday shopping list.

- Sony has picked up the rights for a film called Chef, which will be directed by David Fincher and star Keanu Reeves. Apparently there is no more information available about the movie at this juncture, but the three things we do know (the title and the two major creative participants) have no business being together as far as we're concerned, so we're very curious to hear more.
- The new version of Google's Chrome browser has a bookmark manager, amongst other updates.
