Some lucky people got to attend a test screening for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, in Chicago.

Here are the details on the film, from a reviewer. I’ve also mentioned some important details I know, thanks to podcasts.

SPOILER WARNING!
DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW THE DETAILS.

**Some points about the film, I caught while listening to all the podcasts covering the event:

-The Warner Bros. logo apparently looks rusted and tarnished in this film, perhaps to give it a battle-worn look, showing the significance of the open war in the Wizarding world.

-Unlike most of the previous Harry Potter films, the Harry Potter logo isn’t shown as immediately following the WB logo. We see a montage of Harry, Ron, and Hermione in their respective homes before that.

-It LOOKS like we won’t see Dudley and Harry shaking hands. According to the podcasts I’ve heard, we just see the Dursleys getting in the car and leaving Privet Drive.

Paula Abdul is leaving “American Idol” after eight seasons of damaging the show’s credibility while simultaneously helping its popularity, a fascinating accomplishment.

Her departure, which she announced Tuesday night via Twitter, is the best worst thing that could happen to America’s most-popular television show. It will leave the show forever changed, either sending it quickly toward its inevitable end in a few seasons, or jump-starting a new era in which it refocuses on music instead of personality.

Back in 2002, when “American Idol” debuted, Paula Abdul was brought on board for her 1980s pop-star background, to bring the program both credibility and name recognition.

Today, seven years later, she’s defined a reality competition judging archetype, the supportive mentor, although no one has come close to offering her brand of emotional and genuine but also odd concern for contestants.

Hold on to your hats, because this is about the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. It’s the new teaser trailer for Tron Legacy, shown this week at Comic Con. The first movie, as it turns out, was probably a bit too far ahead of its time. But the sequel, some 30 years later, is still in front of the curve, but not by as much.

Last year at Comic Con, Disney unveiled some test footage for what was at the time referred to as TR2N. However, we all now know the film is titled Tron Legacy and is a sequel to the 1982 original starring Jeff Bridges, Beau Garrett, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner and Garrett Hedlund.

When the film was introduced last year it was done using a 3-minute piece of test footage showing a pair of combatants battling it out on the game grid in Tron City on their Light Cycles. Unfortunately, the footage was then only bootlegged online and never officially released to those that weren’t in attendance… until now.

Yesterday at the Comic Con panel I told you they showed the footage once again, only this time in 3-D, and along with that Disney has now officially released the footage to the online masses. Check it out directly below

And who better to pull off such a feat than family-friendly Disney, which gave us an endearing rodent culinary whiz in Ratatouille in concert with action-meister producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean)?

The powerhouse coupling means you can count on chases and explosions, plus a distinctly cute and cuddly factor.

The film’s casting, for both its in-the-flesh performances and vocal talent, has some bright spots. Bill Nighy is having fun playing the villainous billionaire, Saber. And the trio of guinea pigs, voiced by Penelope Cruz, Tracy Morgan and Sam Rockwell, are lively.

The script has a few funny lines. For the parents and other adults in the audience, there are grown-up movie allusions. But the look of the cute, computer-generated guinea pigs, hamsters and mice will be the main hit with kids, especially in 3-D.

Zach Galifianakis is Ben, a nerdy scientist. He has trained rodents to work for the federal government as accomplished spies. Not only do they talk, but they also carry out espionage plots. The three guinea pigs do most of the legwork: Darwin (Rockwell) is the no-nonsense leader, Juarez (Cruz) is a sassy martial arts expert, and Blaster (Morgan) is a weapons expert.

The critter experiment is inexplicably shut down by officious federal agents (headed by Will Arnett), just as they are about to crack a case involving an appliance mogul (Nighy). World domination is at stake.

Characters are broadly drawn, and a few have faintly disturbing racist undertones. It’s hard to know whether the trio of chirpy mice in a pet store is ripped off from the mice in 1995′s Babe or simply an homage.

G-Force is unlikely to keep anyone older than 10 on the edge of his seat, and the bathroom humor may annoy adults. But the message of unity, while unoriginal, is consistently sweet.
