The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

I saw this trailer for the first time during last Friday's Presidential debate as from what I saw, it looks pretty good. Awesome cast, cool visual style...nice. Supposedly, this is the film that will win the Fresh Prince an Oscar (but remember, so was The Pursuit Of Happyness) but we'll see. Check it out and let us know if you think this is the one for Will Smith.

Lot of trailers today (I guess the studios are expecting Eagle Eye to do big this weekend) and here's David Fincher's newest. A lot of speculation that there's beef happening between the director and the studio heads over the cut of the film but who knows how this'll end up. Some early reviews have been not so nice. Check out the trailer over here at Apple and see what you think.

Perfect way to start off debate night! This a very extended trailer for Oliver Stone's comedy/drama/satire project. Is this going to be the sneak attack film of the season? Who knows but it looks good so far. And I'm not a huge Stone fan either!

Damn, that was a pretty bad ass trailer. The music, the cuts...yeah, cool as hell. Through all the trouble this production has been through, it's cool to finally see something that really gets me hyped up on the film. Hurry up and check out the trailer over here at Yahoo! and let us know what you think.

Well, the W. teaser came out and now here's the first full trailer. Oliver Stone doing George W. Bush. Right there, your either really wanna see this or you really wanna protest it. Either way, you can go over to Yahoo! here to check it out and let us know what you think.

And here it is. The big screen version of the life of Biggie Smalls (aka Notorious B.I.G.) has dropped a teaser trailer and although it doesn't show too much, some of the actors portraying Lil' Kim, Diddy & Tupac look pretty faithful to the originals. Check out the trailer over here at Yahoo! & let us know what you guys think? Is this gonna just be another crappy Hollywood biopic or is this the real deal?

I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce that first word so don't worry if you are too. So Charlie Kaufman is one crazy mofo. The reclusive writer of such cool films like Being John Malkovich, The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind & Adaptation comes another one of his trademark quirky (love that word) films and this time, Kaufman is in the drivers seat as director. I wonder how his writing will translate but from the looks of the trailer, so far so good. What do you guys think? Oh you haven't seen the trailer? Well check it out here at Yahoo!

Reminder: Redband = NSFW. So put dem headphones on and check out what, if the patterns with these red band trailers continue, could possibly be the funniest parts of this film. NYUP!

I've never been a huge musical fan but I'm anxiously waiting for something to change my mind (I have an idea for one but not exactly sure how to tackle one) and blast my brain outta my head. Repo! The Genetic Opera looks cool but I'm not totally sold on it. It's cool to see SpyKid Alexa Vega getting work as well as Sarah Brightman but Paris Hilton very presence in the film is scary (yeah, that's her up there). Check out the trailer for yourself over at Yahoo! here and let us know what you think.

That was a great screenshot, huh? Anyways, this is Clint Eastwood's latest film and is based on a true story taking place in the early 1900's in LA. Looks "meh" to me but who knows. Check it out for yourself over here at Yahoo! and you decide of my future ex-wife will get another Oscar nod this year.

Strong Oscar buzz with this one but the trailer seems to sell the film in a whole other way. Not too sure about this one. RDJr. is always good, Foxx is hit & miss for me. You can go here at the LA Times site to read to story that inspired the film. Check out the trailer here at Yahoo! & let us know what you think.

Yup, new trailer and it's got some pretty dope shots in it. Since the other big November release has been pushed back, it will be the month of Bond if this trailer is any indication. I loved Casino Royale and this just looks dope. Hopefully I won't be disappointed. Check out the trailer over at Yahoo! here (don't forget to check out the Behind The Scenes feature here) and let us know what you think.

Oh, man....I've been waiting for this one. Glad they decided to make the first trailer a red band. Can't....wait....for...Halloween! Stop reading and watch the "Porno" already! Oh and don't forget, red band means NSFW so be warned!

I know that God didn't invent them, but damn are Pluots delicious....Oh, didn't see you guys there. Well after taking it easy for a week due some insane deadlines at work, everything should be back to normal this week....somewhat. Anyways, besides working most of this holiday weekend, lets recap some of the coolness:

Can't vouch for the films themselves, but red band is always a good way to see how the film is going to be.....yeah, not too sure about these end of summer gems. But the Van Damme talking poster was good. So if you had to choose one to see, which one would it be, based strictly from these 2 trailers? Lionheart!

Also available in HD over at Yahoo! here. So does that bearded Leo bother anyone else?

Beautiful Losers film trailer from beautifullosersfilm on Vimeo.
In the spirit of DIY this week with all things swede going on, this trailer appearing (thanks to Kirk for the heads up) kinda encapsulates the whole movement. Beautiful Losers showcases artists such as Terry Richardson, ESPO, Ed Templeton, Shepard Fairey & Harmony Korine in it's celebration of the subcultures which were offspring of skateboarding, hip-hop, surf, punk & grafitti. No word if we'll get it here in town (I'm guessing not) but I'll def keep an eye out for it. Go to the official site for screening info or check out some clips over at Vimeo here.

Some good buzz building around this film and is set to premier at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Lately, I've been watching Arrested Development (what a great show! It truly sucks that it was cancelled....guess I shoulda watched when it was on the air) and Michael Cera has his delivery that hasn't gotten old and seems to humanize him. Not sure how much longer he can keep pulling that off before it gets old but this film will certainly only help his star burn brighter.
