Movie Trailer of the Week - "It's Kind of a Funny Story"

Movie Trailer of the Week - Catfish

Wow. This looks like...well, I mean...um...is it a documentary?
Oh, no it's like a Blair Witch type thing.
Entertainment Weekly called it a documentary.
Oh, no it's fiction.
Or...um. Huh?
What's it called?
Catfish.
Why?
No idea.
Does the Facebook page say more?
No, not really. Well, maybe.
The poster says, "Don't let anyone tell you what it is."
What is it?
I don't know but it looks good.
Yeah, it does!

Movie Trailer of the Week - "Monsters"

From firstshowing.net: Monsters is written, produced and directed by Gareth Edwards, a big up-and-coming filmmaker who shot this on a shoestring budget in Mexico and did all of the visual effects on his own computer. Visit the official website: monstersfilm.com.

Movie Trailer of the Week - "The Company Men"

Movie Trailer of the Week - The Social Network

When I first heard there was going to be a movie about the creation of Facebook, I thought, "Why?" Then I heard that it was being made by one of my favorite directors, David Fincher. Fincher got his start with music videos, making some of the best, including George Michael's "Freedom 90", Billy Idol's "Rock the Cradle of Love", most of Paula Abdul's hit videos and several of Madonna's including "Vogue" and "Express Yourself".

His theatrical debut (Alien 3 ) notwithstanding, I would count his films as some of the finest of the past twenty years. Fincher directed (in this order) Se7en , The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Mouse over the links to watch the trailers.

So, I have high hopes for The Social Network. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker. The film hits American theaters October 1.

Movie Trailer of the Week - "Ready, Set, Bag!"

"Amateurs practice 'til they get it right. Pros practice 'til they can't get it wrong."

Movie Trailer of the Week - "Jack Goes Boating"

Movie Trailer of the Week - Red

Red stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Mary Louise Parker as retired CIA hitmen (well, hitpeople). This looks goooood. The stellar cast also includes Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and Ernest Borgnine.

Movie Trailer of the Week: Rob Reiner's "Flipped"

Movie Trailer of the Week - Inception

This is the third trailer for the Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight) film Inception. I posted a teaser earlier this year. This trailer tells us more about the film. And I am still intrigued. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that the trailer for This trailer does all the more.

As a Kentucky boy, I can not wait to see this. Diane Lane looks gorgeous as ever, and John Malkovich as quirky as ever. This looks like Oscar fodder to me. I'll be there either way.

Movie Trailer of the Week - The Adjustment Bureau

This looks great and reminds me of Dark City (read my thoughts on that film and watch the trailer here). Check out Matt Damon and Emily Blunt in The Adjustment Bureau.

Movie Trailer of the Week - Get Low

Movie Trailer of the Week - Paper Man

I remember a movie starring Jeff Daniels as an author of a hit book who can't seem to write a followup. It was called The Answer Man. It was just okay. Paper Man is not a sequel, and it looks a lot better.

Movie Trailer of the Century - "Movie Title"

A commenter over at Stuff Christians Like noted that the "Sunday's Coming" video that I reposted may have been inspired (well, she said the words "rip" and "off") by this gem from BritAnNick.

Movie Trailer of the Week - The Other Guys

The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson in a buddy cop movie. Yep, sounds about right. Oh, did I mention the main stars are Mark Wahlberg and none other than one mister Will Ferrell? The Other Guys re-teams Ferrell with Adam McKay, who directed him in Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Step Brothers.

This won't win any awards, but it looks like a truly funny summer popcorn flick.

Movie Trailer of the Week - No One Knows About Persian Cats

Movie Trailer of the Week - The Thorn In The Heart

Movie Trailer of the Week: Please Give

Please Give looks interesting. The film centers around the all too real "problem of how to live well and be a good person when poverty, homelessness, and sadness are always right outside the door."

The cast is excellent. I've always loved Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, and Amanda Peet. And Rebecca Hall was excellent in Spanglish. The elderly lady in the film is Ann Morgan Guilbert, who played next door neighbor Millie on The Dick Van Dyke Show. The film was directed by Nicole Holofcener who helmed the first movie in which I remember seeing Keener, Walking and Talking and later went on to direct her in Friends With Money .

Please Give premiered at Sundance in January. It hits theaters on April 30.

Movie Trailer of the Week: Legend of the Guardians

I figured if I'm going to post a trailer the day after the Oscars, I should try to find something that might be nominated next year. The Legend of the Guardians is a shoo in for nomination in the animation category. It comes to theaters on September 24.
