J.J. Abrams, the mastermind behind TV's Lost and the upcoming Star Trek reboot, finally unleashes his top-secret monster movie. Check out the heart-racing trailer at cloverfieldmovie.com. (Jan. 18)

8 Rock Band

Build massive guns while perfecting that drum solo. Created in the same vein as the massively popular Guitar Hero, this new Xbox 360/PS3 video game comes with a virtual guitar--as well as bass, drum, and microphone controllers--to help you work those biceps and jam to more than 45 tunes licensed from the likes of The Who, Metallica, and the Ramones (with more new downloads available each month).

9 THE OSCAR

Too bad theAcademy'refuses to add a "fittest actor" category. Matt Damon deserves an award for his ass-kicking heroics in 2007's best movie, The Bourne Ultimatum. At least perennial funny guy Jon Stewart returns as host, which should be reason enough to tune in. (Feb. 24)
