My MacBook Pro seemed to get hung up in Chrome. Was able to quit Chrome and all other apps running (Mail and TextEdit) and tried to restart. Screen went black, trackpad still moving cursor but didn't restart. Tried to force it by holding down power button but now it won't shut down either. Also tried command-option-eject with no effect. Can't get to Apple Store until tomorrow. Aside from waiting/hoping for battery to drain is there any other way I can force it to shutdown or restart.

Sounds like your SMC is broken.
As last resort I would remove the battery.
