Movie Trailer of the Week - The Box

This movie looks really creepy and really good. Richard Kelly directed The Box and, thankfully, it looks closer to his first film, the cult classic Donnie Darko, than his second Southland Tales. I will definitely see it, but my one complaint is the cheesy accents. James Marsden sounds fine -- he spends enough time in Tennessee to know how to sound (he married a Gladeville girl, just like I did) -- but Cameron Diaz I'm not so sure about.

S. Darko

I love Donnie Darko but I don't know about this. A sequel called S. Darko, named for Donnie's little sister Samantha, is set to release April 28. I think the only actor from the original is Daveigh Chase in the title character role. And the original director/writer/creator Richard Kelley is not involved. The casting of Elizabeth Berkley, star of Saved By the Bell and Showgirls, doesn't make me any more likely to think it will be good. Neither does the fact that there is a character on the film's IMDB page named "Barfing Girl / Waitress". The spiritual aspect intrigues me though. What do you think? Here's the trailer:
