I’m still interested, but this second trailer had more dull moments than the first. Still quite a few laughs tough.

I now bring you this shocking statement: Will Ferrell is really funny. That is all.

I think that the big question with Funny Games is whether it is actually worth watching the remake instead of just renting the original, considering that they both share the same director. But I have little doubt that this will make fr a very good, if somewhat disturbing, film.

The word coming out of Toronto is that Juno is excellent. Having just watched the trailer, I totally believe it. Seems like the type of off-beat family comedy that can be truly funny and still have a heart.

Consider me sold.

I’m cautiously excited about Youth Without Youth. Coppola is undoubtedly one of the greats, but he hasn’t worked in a long time and it’s been a while since he really hit one off the park. So I’m hoping that it will be a return to form, but I’m not getting my hopes up too much before I see some truly great reviews.

The trailer itself simply doesn’t show enough to allow for any kind of opinion. I love getting a taste of the movie, but I’ll need a lot more in order to get more or less excited.

Man, this looks like a sad movie. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Sad movies, much like happy movies, came in two types: good or bad.

This trailer isn’t enough for me to make my mind about which type Grace is Gone is. But the reviews have generally been positive, so I’m hopeful.

I used to think that the idea of an Aliens Vs. Predator movie was really cool. But then I saw the Paul W. S. Anderson directed Aliens Vs. Predator and the movie turned out to be, much to my amazement, boring. Now, I’m sure that is in large part Anderson’s fault, but I can’t help but to be much less excited about the sequel.

And the trailer didn’t get me any more excited. Sure, it looks like it might be better than the first. At least it should have more violence to keep the audience from falling asleep. But that is like saying sawdust tastes better than toilet paper, not exactly high praise. Nothing about the trailer say “yes, they got it, they know how to pull it off.”

Consider me skeptical.

I’m going to guess I’m not the only one who is reminded of 21 Grams by watching this trailer. I think Reservation Road will be a very different from 21 Grams. For starters it won’t jump around in time. But the similarities in the storyline and in the tone a certainly there.

I really do love these heavy dramas. reservation Road doesn’t strike me as being something that is likely to be among the best of its kind, but I’m sure I’ll eat it up anyway.

This seems like the kind of story that could make for a great movie in the hands of a great director and a great writer. Unfortunately I don’t think that James Gray (The Yards) qualifies as either. But I do think he is competent enough to turn this into a tight and thoroughly enjoyable little thriller.

‘ve come to trust George Clooney’s choice of roles. Although I haven’t loved all of his recent movies, they are always interesting enough to be worth watching.

This one looks a lot like some kind of mix between The Insider and The Firm. Although I don’t expect it to neither as deep as the former nor as entertaining as the latter, it should still make for a worthwhile movie.
