Amazing. If that doesn't make the film, I will boycott it altogether. Pass on my best wishes to your friends!

Have a nice da-ay!

Trailer for Baz Luhrman's Australia (2008) here. Looks visually impressive but what's the matter with Kidman's accent? She sounds very fake indeed. Sort of like Adam and Joe's Hello from the Big British Cahhhstle jingle.

I'm not a Luhrman fan at all but I would quite like to see this film.

Guy Ritchie to direct SHERLOCK HOLMES

Hmm. I'll go with 'What is the definition of "fail"', Alex.

WALL-E Movie Review - no spoilers

Ok, I'm really excited about this now, and that's unlike me.

Not sure how he can rank 'Finding Nemo' higher than 'Monsters Inc' though.

No prizes for guessing who I'd like to see as Holmes.

Zoe?

Madonna?

I am unaware of any Guy Ritchie connection. And I see her as more of a Moriarty.

A role I'm sure she'd accept if my dream casting of Stath took place. It's about time Holmes took his shirt off in a movie.

That looks fantastic - the fact that they used an Elbow song in the trailer makes me like it even more.

But that they used George Clooney again makes me affraid that it could end up like Intollerable Cruelty.

Finally got my iTunes to cooperate with this one and I only have one thing to say.

David fucking Rasche. Don't mess with the Sledge.

Or it could end up like O Brother Where Art Thou


Actually I like Intolerable Cruelty.

Yup, George Clooney is great in O Brother.

And I too like Intolerable Cruelty. It's more mainstream than some of their other films, but it still stands up as a fair to decent little rom-com.

Clooney is great in almost anything.

Same here. Clooney is excellent.

Except Batman & Robin. By his own admission, he's terrible in that.

(He's great in everything else I've seen him in, certainly)

Intolerable Cruelty

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I saw the latest trailer for M. Night Shyamathingy's 'The Happening' right before 'Gone, Baby, Gone' tonight. I'd already seen it once before, but for some reason it really struck me this time and has rekindled my previously snuffed out interest. The first trailer was oblique to an almost parodic extent. The new one offers just enough information to be tantalising but still keeps just enough hidden in the shadows. This has moved from a ''I might see it on TV at some point in the next 10 years'' to a ''I might go see that at the cinema if I can find the time.''

YES!

I thought exactly the same thing. Even though I feel I've heard and read the 'twist' or more accurately 'concept' since day one, the new trailer is so compelling.

I hope he's as surprising as Moffat was tonight. I love thinking I know everything and being proved wrong.

I think that had they released that trailer first, The Happening would be one of my 'must-see' films of the summer; it's just so creepy, exciting and has just the right level of mysteriousness to it to pique my curiosity. Just goes to show what good a great trailer can do and what harm an mediocre trailer can do.

Also, the award for 'Trailer That Has Annoyed Me The Most By Giving Every Bloody Thing Away' goes to the one for 'The Mist.' I'm glad I've already seen it, since the trailer gives away at least three of the best moments in it that really took my breath away. If anyone goes to the cinema in the next few weeks and you see a trailer that begins with a little kid talking to his parents next to a lake, close your eyes and cover your ears, otherwise you'll have an ace film pretty much ruined for you.

I haven't seen the trailer for 'The Mist', but I totally get where you're coming from.

'The Incredible Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's really bad. When I saw it, my first thought was ''that's even worse than the second trailer for Sunshine.'' You know how the first trailer for Sunshine was just the opening shot of the movie, with the sun apparently getting closer then it being revealed that it was actually just the reflection in the front of the Icarus II? Remember how foreboding and elegiac that trailer was? And then how the second trailer went through every fucking plot point and revelation so you were left in no doubt as to what was going to happen? It's like that.

To this day, I'm incredibly grateful that I got to go to a press screening for Sunshine and didn't see the second trailer until after I'd seen the film.

The Mist is ace, though.

Oh, and the trailer for The Edge Of Love is quite bad. It's just about bearable for the first minute, even if it is pretty much screaming ''I'm like Atonement, you liked that, right?'' but by the end of the second minute I'd lost any interest in the film whatsoever. Except for the fact it had Cillian Murphy in it. A trailer would have to be pretty terrible to kill my interest in a film he stars in (Red Eye).

It's also a terrible indication of the sort of internet-meme fueled conversations I have at work that the first thing that came into my head when the words ''Two Women'' came up was ''One Cup.'' Don't look it up.

Choke

Looks a rather promising adaptation of Chuck Palanhiuk's book. Looking forward to this one.



edit: really liking the look of The Happening based on the red band trailer too.

Double post, but hey ho.

Religulous

This looks great. I half expected the TV preacher halfway through the trailer to say "Shiny!" too.

Teaser trailer for The Transporter 3 arrives or "You Can't Keep a Good Stath Down"...

I think I heard Sostie's shout of excitement from here.

Ooh! Thanks for this. I can't watch it at work, but when I get home, I'm slipping into something nice and silky, preparing myself a cocktail and will sit back and enjoy.

I find it somewhat disturbing that I can visualise you doing that . . .

I'll save you the time and put on a webcam.

That's okay, we all remember the Crank 2 announcement pole dancing incident.

To celebrate the release of the Death Race trailer I will be running a nude mile.

Which bizarrely reminds me that we got in the Crank 2 one-sheet teaser posters this week. I assume you want me to nab you one?

Ooooh yes please. I'm game for most teasers, but especially that one (Don't suppose you have any Watchmen teasers?)

Not yet, according to the rep they should be out at the end of the month.

If they are the ones I've seen already they are very nice

Oh lordy! OK so my Stath love may make me a bit biased but this looks great. Stath in a suit, Stath out of a suit, Stath with his pole in his hand and The Stooges!

I released a little bit of wee!

I'm not wholly sure about this, but City of Ember looks potentially amazing...

Most trailery trailer ever.

Entirely appropriate under the circumstances.

Hey, it worked on me. I wanna see it.

Feel the love.

Redbelt A David Mamet martial arts movie!

A David Mamet martial arts movie starring Tim Allen.

And Chewie, of course. But Tim Allen! In a David Mamet film! Never mind the subject matter...

Oooh. That looks quite fun.

Sounds like the film follows suit

Empire are a little more favourable

I'm going to see it at the IMAX in about half an hour, so I'll give my opinion tomorrow. Though I expect that will just be summised as "pretty entertaining" or "pretty naff".

The Times main critisisms seem a bit silly... since a couple of 'well worn scenes from other pictures' seem to be things that happen within The Incredible Hulk story anyway.

I will be going to see it tonight and hopefully they are wrong.

I'd align myself with the Empire review. It's got some good bits and kept me engaged throughout, but it wasn't teh best eva. I like Ed Norton.

Not really a spoiler but I'll cover it for the sake of it - look out for Michael K Williams (aka Omar) dodging a thrown car in the final fight scene.

That's sold it to me.

Yeah, the trailer had me saying "meh", too. Although, this sounds amusing.... at one point Hulk tears a police car in half and fashions it into a pair of makeshift boxing gloves

Feel the love.
