Rockstar updates its site for GTA: San Andreas (due out Tuesday) with a new trailer and an interactive map of Las Venturas (Las Vegas), the third of the game’s major cities. In case you missed them, Los Santos/LA and San Fierro/San Fran are also worth a gander.

(Not-so) Dirty Dozen.
The trailer for Ocean’s Twelve also hit today, and it looks as fun, well-crafted, breezy, and instantly forgettable as the first outing.
Heroine.
If Hero didn’t satisfy your quota for arthouse kung-fu in 2004, the teaser for Zhang Yimou’s House of Flying Daggers is now up, and it looks to be more of the same aesthetic…hopefully, with less jingoism this time around.
Two-Ring Circus.
When you die, you see The Ring. Ok, well, you might see 2 Rings. Or maybe just the teaser for The Ring 2. Alright, you got me…I have no idea what you’ll see.
Lemony Snicket, Sour Byck.
In today’s movie bin, a post-Eternal Sunshine Jim Carrey returns to hamming it up in the full trailer for Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Sean Penn (with the aid of 21 Grams co-star Naomi Watts and Don Cheadle) resurrects Samuel Byck (also featured in Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins) in the international teaser for The Assassination of Richard Nixon.
MMXLVI.
The french trailer for Wong Kar-Wai’s 2046, alluded to here, is now back online. Looks beautiful, if nothing else.
It’s All Greek to Me.
The final trailer for Oliver Stone’s Alexander hits the web. I dunno…I like Stone’s movies more than most, but I’m getting a serious Moreau-vibe from Val Kilmer, and Angelina Jolie appears to be channeling Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing.
Life after Shrek.
If The Incredibles doesn’t satisfy your itch for CGI-animation this fall, it looks like there’s much more to come. First, Ewan MacGregor goes all Threepio in Robots (also with Halle Berry and Robin Williams), while Ben Stiller, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Schwimmer, Chris Rock (and, surprisingly, Ali G) speak for the animals in Madagascar. I’m not really feeling either of these, to be honest. Madagascar in particular looks like a cutscene from Monkey Island.
Amelie: Resurrection.
Also in the trailer bin today is the first look at Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s A Very Long Engagement, starring Audrey Tautou. Somehow, I don’t really see Amelie-whimsy carrying over to the WWI trenches, but we’ll see.
Welcome to the Jungle.
“Cock-a-doodle-do, we’re a huge corporation. Cock-a-doodle-do, we can’t be stopped…” Rockstar continues its tantalizingly slow rollout of GTA: San Andreas with an interactive map of San Fierro (a.k.a. the Bay Area) and a spiffy new trailer (which reveals that G’n’R, at least, is on the game soundtrack.) As with Los Santos, the map is ripe for exploration. It already seems pretty clear this game is going to eat my life for a few weeks.
