Another trailer, more story.  I don’t really have anything more to say about this one.  The cast is glorious and the sets are amazing.  I’m not one for horror movies or thrillers, but this looks very good.

This is an “international trailer”,  in other words the subtitles are in another language, in this case french.

Salt is an interesting movie.  I starting having doubts about it when Tom Cruise dropped out of the project and Angelina Jolie was recast in the lead.  Objectively that should be good.  I don’t like Tom Cruise and I do like Angelina Jolie, but it concerns me that a script can be so casually and drastically changed.  Beyond that craziness this film looks like some simple, mindless fun.  It doesn’t look as bad as Wanted, but it’s hardly going to be one the most exciting movies next year (for me).  I do want to know what happens, and I guess that’s the point of the trailer.  By all accounts it looks like she’s quite guilty, but that’s going to be pretty hard to sustain throughout the whole movie.  There have got to be some serious twists.  We shall see.

I’m slowly catching up on my trailers.  I watch a lot of trailers and make a lot of notes about which ones I like.  I try to post them as soon as I watch them, but at times I watch unfinished trailers, some without posters, some without titles.  And then I forget about trailers.  This is one of those trailers

This movie seems to be a western about two little kids who are abandoned on their little homestead.  Quite awful, kinda like the Blue Lagoon… but way better, and without the awkward sex. Also there seems to be something behind the attic door.  That should probably add to the tension.

I’m quite sure that I won’t enjoy watching this movie.  As I recall, the portion of Babel where the kids are alone in the desert almost killed me, that was way too stressful.  This is a movie all about that.  It’s going to be rough.  I still want to watch it, but it’s definitely going to be an experience.

I just wanted to add that the scene where the parents are driving away (presumably) and the kids are chasing.  That was beautifully done.

Here’s an odd one.  This is a movie about an elite, rogue soldier fighting against his own government and uncovering multi-layered conspiracies.  It stars Matt Damon and is directed by Paul Greengrass.  I won’t be the first person to say that this is essentially a Bourne prequel.  It most definitely isn’t but it might as well be.  That’s not to say that it isn’t worth watching, I absolutely loved the Bourne movies, and especially the last two (the ones Mr. Greengrass directed).

This movie is something about W.M.D.s and Baghdad, I don’t really know, I have no interest in war stuff.  It also starts Amy Ryan, Greg Kinnear and Brendan Gleeson.  I kinda wish Amy Ryan wasn’t a successful film star, but Only because I want her to go back on The Office.  Brendan Gleeson appears to be playing an American in this movie.  That should be interesting.  I love the guy, especially his accent, but without the accent I’m afraid he might just come off as extremely effeminate.  We shall see.

This trailer is far more exciting than the last one.  Obviously all the good things about the last one are still here, the awesome cast, the beautiful sets and the fact that the writers and the director didn’t sellout.  It would have been very easy to make a ridiculous Werewolf movie set in modern times with teenagers and maybe, if we’re lucky, Paris Hilton.  But fortunately the movie didn’t take that route.

Now let’s all hope that this movie doesn’t get delayed… again.

This is Christopher Nolan’s next movie.  I find that he does an extremely good job of keeping his audience uncomfortable, that is the common thread in all of his movies.  There’s anticipation but mostly you are just dreading what’s going to happen next (it could be the lack of color in his movies).  This movie is sure to be a success, at least for a week.  It stars Leonardo DiCaprio (does anyone even remember when this guy was a heart-throb?  Thank got those days are over.)  It also Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Collitard and Cillian Murphy.  That’s quite an awesome cast.

This is just a teaser, so don’t be too worried if it’s utterly mystifying.  The trailer will come soon enough (likely October), and it will have more about the story.  (I’ve also read a spoilery synopsis, and it sounds good).

I actually had no desire to see a movie about werewolves even if it was a remake of the classic movie(s).  But when they announced the cast I was suddenly interested.  This movie stars Benicio Del Toro, an extremely underused actor; Emily Blunt, a very plain looking, but very talented actress; Hugo Weaving, who’s eyebrows could get Oscar nominations; and Anthony Hopkins, I’d probably enjoy watching him do absolutely anything.  Anywho, the point is that this is a story I am totally uninterested in but it is completely redeemed by extraordinary casting.

Oh yeah, the studio has absolutely no confidence in this movie, so it’ll probably be released sometime early next year and there will be no promotion for it.  So if you want to see this movie you’ll have to pay very close attention to your local indie-style theatre.
