As was metioned a little while ago, there was an advanced screening of Shanghai in NYC on March 19th,
IMDb user gg6471-1 posted a fairly extensive review. You can read the whole thing here.

I took this excerpt because this is where it talks about Jeff's role.
Obviously, spoilers.
"The plot was hard for me to follow, especially since going in I didn’t know anything about the movie. From what I have gathered, the plot is a WW2 drama. It takes place right before America joins the war and Japan attacks China and Pearl Harbor. John Cusack and Jeffery Dean Morgan are spies for America in Shanghai trying to figure out what Japan is doing there and what's going on with the war. (I didn't figure out that they were spies until the end of the movie). John Cusack's cover up is a journalist, and throughout the movie he kicks a lot of ass. I was shocked because I didn't think a journalist could be so bad ass, and then I found out he was actually a spy and it made a little more sense. Anyways, Morgan gets involved with the Japan's army commander's mistress and gets wind of attack plans on Pearl Harbor. He passes it on to Cusack who tries to gather enough evidence to prove it to his superiors so that they can be prepared for an attack on Pearl Harbor. He gets involved with the Mafia leader played by Yun-Fat Chow, and his wife played by Li Gong and together/secretly/behind backs figure out what Japan and Germany are up too."

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as John and YED
This short little vid has been around since, oh, I guess the end of Supernatural season one, before season two started. Since it's so old, you may have missed it.
Now I have a very soft spot in my heart for John Winchester, and "Dead Man's Blood" and "Devil's Trap" are my two favorite John episodes, so when I came across this again this evening, I HAD to share....
I just wish it wasn't SO dark.

Vote for Jeff
Play Starpulse's 'Celebrity Madness 2009 - The Men' (Round 1, Group 2)
March 19th, 2009 1:02pm
http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/....madness_2009_3#
Cast your votes for your favorite male & female celebrities in Starpulse.com's First Annual "Celebrity March Madness" showdown! In the spirit of the NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments, we bring you two celebrity tournaments throughout the month of March that will determine the number one male and female celebrity - chosen by YOU!
All you have to do is cast your vote in the poll under the picture for one of the two celebs in each matchup! At the end of the round, we'll tally the votes and get the next round underway. There's even a bracket (updated after each round) with all the match-ups that you can print out (link below) and use to play along with your friends, create an office pool, or just keep track of all your own picks.
For the next two weeks we'll bring you six rounds of celebrity match-ups to vote on, much in the same style that the NCAA does: First & Second round, Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four and the final Championship round to determine YOUR pick for the number one Female and Male celebrities!
The Matchup
#1 Brad Pitt vs. #16 Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Brad Pitt, well, we all know who Brad Pitt is. He was recently nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; and we all know that his girlfriend is Angelina Jolie because they're all over the news all the time. That's what happens when you're a couple of really good thespians who are both hot. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is no slouch though, especially not in his role as The Comedian in Watchmen. Who cares what the fanboys and critics say, the movie was great. And who knows, could Jeffrey be this year's Cinderella?
The schedule:
First Round Voting: March 19-22
Second Round Voting: March 23-25
Sweet 16 Voting: March 26-28
Elite Eight Voting: March 29-31

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and The Losers
Jeff is still in negotiations to do The Losers, after he does The Resident with Hillary Swank. The deal isn't 100% yet, as reported here:
http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com....16&article=6414
“It’s a project that we are in negotiations with right now,” said Morgan. “Certainly I’m hoping that everything works out and I’ll be in Puerto Rico shooting that thing in a couple of months.”
I, however am going to stick my ingers in my ears, and Hum Very Loudly, because I'd love to see Jeff in this movie.
So, to fed my curiosity I went looking, and found the first issue in pdf format. Here 'tis! Hope you enjoy!: http://www.dccomics.com/media/excerpts/1687_1.pdf

This is what I call a movie review!
It's a long one, so I'm going to just put a couple of excerpts here.
The Motion/Captured Review: 'Watchmen'
Posted by Drew McWeeny
http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/2008-12-6-mo....review-watchmen
The second viewing, I was over the shock. I sat down to watch it as a movie, as something that has to live on its own now, something that has to play for noobs and the faithful alike. And taken on its own, Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" is a profound work of art, a beautiful, deliriously weird, meditative spin on a genre that is as American as jazz. It is adult, sober-minded entertainment, visually ravishing and loaded with more ideas with a typical Oscar-season, and even when it doesn't work (one element in particular falls flat, and I'll get into that below), the ambition and the density of it is breathtaking. "Watchmen" will not be the sort of commerical juggernaut that "The Dark Knight" was, but it's a stealth weapon. You'll be feeling the ripples from this one for years to come, and I have no doubt this is ground zero for a wave of filmmakers-to-be who will one day cite this as the moment they realized what they wanted to do with their lives. Although this may not be the comparison Warner's accountants want to hear, I'd say that this is the closest thing to a "Blade Runner" I've seen in recent memory. It's a film that confounds mainstream expectation by design, a film that works as both text and meta-text, and one of the strangest things I've ever seen a major studio release.
~*~*~
And, amazingly, it works as a movie. It has its own rhythm, taking its time to lay out this complicated story, but it constantly delights with details both small and grand, and the cumulative impact is far more emotional than I would have expected. This isn't a case of a film being "good enough," and I'm not "just glad there's some version of it finally." It is a triumph, a movie that amazes on its own terms, and a major jump forward for Snyder as a filmmaker.
