If you ever need a tour guide for the wonderful city of Bangkok, Thailand, look no further than the eccentric Mr. Chow of the two "Hangover" films. He'll show you all the best parts of the country: the motor bikes, the other motor bikes and the site of his first killing.

In this exclusive clip from the Blu-ray/DVD release of "The Hangover Part II," currently in stores as of today (December 6), Ken Jeong travels in character as Mr. Chow through the streets of Bangkok, pointing out the sights along the way. He knows the city well and shares every happy memory with you in the featurette.

As Jeong is known for, the extra featurette from the video release is the actor just improvising his way through the clip, playing off what he's seeing on the street in his usual hilarious fashion.

Last year we premiered the trailer for the aptly-titled "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus," and it wound up being one of the highest-viewed videos we've ever run. Since then we've seen "Mega Piranha" and "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid." Those were pretty good, but they just couldn't match the intense craziness of "Mega Shark." Well, now we're going back to the basics...

Asylum Home Entertainment has given us the exclusive trailer premiere for "Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus," and if you thought a shark taking a bite out of the Golden Gate Bridge was crazy, wait until you get a load of what two mutant creatures can do. Yup, that's a giant croc below ravaging a convention center. And, yup, that's Jaleel White, a.k.a. Steve Urkel all grown up, battling him in the trailer. So click on the video to watch and let us know what you think in the comments. And don't forget to mark your calendar for the DVD's release on December 21: Click here to Netflix it and here to buy it.

"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" was a summer spectacle filled with every type of action scene you'd hope for in a blockbuster. But those fight scenes didn't come without hard work, as you'll see in this behind-the-scenes featurette from the new DVD and Blu-ray, which chronicles Jake's training leading up to the film.

Check it out below, and catch the disc in stores now.

Zac EfronAttention "High School Musical" fans...your Zac Efron parties are about to getting a little more exciting. That's because Disney is set to launch something called the Disney BD Live Network, coming soon to a Blu-ray player near you.

The free service (included on every Disney Blu-ray disc starting with "Sleeping Beauty" on October 17) will connect BD Live-enabled movies to the Internet, allowing a variety of interactive features to be downloaded to the disc. Among the most impressive? The ability for folks to sync their players together and (provided everyone owns the movie) watch the film in real-time together with on-screen chatting capabilities. This means the next time a "High School Musical" flick hits Blu-ray, teens can hold a virtual party with friends anywhere in the country, chatting together and pausing to gush over Zac's mezmorizing wink. Or even more OMG-worthy, that Disney can hold a live viewing for fans with Zac and the cast, with everyone's machines sync'd together across America as they provide commentary and respond to questions.

Well, there goes the high-definition format war. Warner Bros., which lays claim to the biggest film library of them all, has announced that it is dropping support for HD DVD and will support Blu-ray exclusively come May 2008. The news comes a day after I convinced fellow blogger Josh Horowitz to lay down cash for a Toshiba HD DVD player, and a month after I purchased my own unit (the saving grace is it was pretty cheap and it's still good for upconverting regular DVDs).

The decision more or less dooms the HD DVD format which was launched in 2005 by Toshiba and Microsoft (who back it through their Xbox 360 console), and which now counts Paramount, DreamWorks and Universal as its only exclusive supporters (and since Universal isn't under a contract, it has the ability to switch to Blu-ray should it wish to). Blu-ray, on the other hand, will have Sony (who created it), Fox, Disney, WB, New Line, Lionsgate and MGM. The news will hopefully mean a price drop for Blu-ray players which have traditionally been more expensive than their HD DVD brethren. Read Warner and Toshiba's respective press releases after the jump. Read More...

eli_rothWhen Eli Roth stopped by to talk about his new "Hostel" DVDs, he had plenty to say about murder, Metallica and pissed-off fans. The only subject that quieted him up seemed to be "Trailer Trash," the top-secret "Grindhouse"-inspired film he's working on.

Which is why we were all the more amazed when we actually got him to spill some significant beans.

"When I made that fake trailer for "Thanksgiving," it was the most fun I've ever had shooting anything. It was just off-the-hook for two days ... I thought, 'God, there are so many ideas that I have, that I don't think I could stretch out to a feature film, but that would make a fantastic trailer or even a fake movie,'" he explained. "You could take your most terrible, terrible idea that you're so embarrassed to tell anybody, and turn it into a trailer for a terrible film - and it would be an awesome comedy." Read More...
