Sweet Trailer…'Savages'
Oliver Stone is one of the biggest and most respected names in Hollywood. Though his last few films haven’t lived up to the films that made him famous, he’s still prety great at what he does crafting tense stories to explore with multifaceted and fractured characters. In his new film Savages, the girlfriend of two pot growers has been kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel…I’ll stop there because as you’ll see in the trailer, it gets so much deeper and more intriguing from there. Starring the kind of ensemble that Stone films are known for, Savages has quite an impressive cast to say the least. Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Benicio…

Sweet TV Spot…'The Pirates! Band of Misfits'
Taking a cue from the brilliant parody trailers from The Muppets, the marketing team behind Aardman/Sony Pictures Animation’s The Pirates! Band of Misfits is having just a little fun with The Hunger Games. Aardman Animation has given us hours of laughter and light-hearted chuckles from their signature Wallace & Gromit series as well as their forays into computer animated films. This is just a TV spot but still gives a glimpse at the fun to be had from this delightful looking film. So with that said, let the games begin… Featuring the voice talents of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, David Tennant and Imelda Staunton, The Pirates! Band of Misfits is directed by animation legend Peter Lord. Aardman, Columbia and Sony…

Sweet (Red Band) Trailer…'Ted'
Below is the red band trailer for the new comedy Ted which is written, directed and starring Seth MacFarlane. A master of comedy and one of the more edgy and brilliant minds in entertainment, MacFarlane is never one to pull punches with his material. If you ever had a teddy bear as a child forget your cute and cuddly friend as MacFarlane goes places that are all sorts of wrong imagining if what if that Teddy bear (brought to life as a result of a childhood wish) continued to grow up with you. For those of you interested, hope you’ll get huge laughs from this NSFW red band trailer… Ted: Restricted Trailer…

Sweet Trailer…'The Giant Mechanical Man'
From Dallas native Lee Kirk comes this charming and quirky ensemble romantic comedy akin to Little Miss Sunshine or Garden State. Playing the titular Mechanical Man is Chris Messina (one of the standout performances in Devil) as he and Jenna Fischer help each other to realize that in this crazy world it only takes one person to make you feel important. Behold, The Giant Mechanical Man (disclaimer: not a real mechanical man or sequel to The Iron Giant…bummer). Written/directed by Lee Kirk, The Giant Mechanical Man stars Jenna Fischer, Chris Messina, Malin Ackerman, Topher Grace, Bob Odenkirk and Lucy Punch and is set to play at the Tribeca Film Festival next month (hmmm,…

Sweet Trailer…'Free Samples'

This deliciously indie-feeling and quirky drama stars Jess Weixler as Jillian, a Stanford law-school dropout, who is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. On the day of her college boyfriend’s birthday, she finds herself stuck running an ice cream truck fending off Los Angeles locals and oddball friends alike.

Sweet Trailer…'Sleepless Night'
The first US, not to mention highly praised, trailer for Tribeca Film’s Sleepless Night has hit the web. Written & directed by French filmmaker Frédéric Jardin and co-written by Nicolas Saada, the film follows a police officer (played by Tomer Sisley) who gets mixed up with a night club owner/drug lord. When he’s double crossed and his son Thomas is taken hostage, he goes all out to rescue him, facing obstacles both good and bad, from Internal Affairs to the drug lord himself. There’s more quotes and praise than actual edge-of-your seat action but still, the sources quoted and the soundtrack make a good case for this even if it…

Teaser Trailer…'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2'
Today we get the teaser trailer for the last chapter in the Twilight Saga. No this isn’t that preview of the teaser for the teaser, this is a full on 50 second teaser…don’t really see the point of those teaser previews, but anyway. So it all comes down to this as Bella is now a vampire, has a child (Renesmee) and holds the fate of the vampire kind in her new sparkly hands…or something like that. Behold… Renesmee is misidentified as an “immortal child” which leads the Cullens gather other vampire clans from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Bella’s daughter is not an immortal child. Doesn’t sound incredibly exciting…

Teaser Trailer…'The Host'
Now that the saga of the Cullens is breaking dawn, I mean winding down (and we’re not going to see The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner on the big screen) what will fans of Stephanie Meyer do? Well there’s always fan-fiction and aside from reading/watching the series again and again, they can start getting excited about Meyer’s other fairly popular novel The Host. Going for a sci-fi angle this time, Meyer’s story is about an alien invasion and focuses on one of the last humans who chooses to fight back. Not much to it but it’s got an interesting premise. Have a look… The Host stars Saoirse Ronan as Melanie Stryder the girl who takes a…

Sweet (Red Band) Teaser…'Cosmopolis'
David Cronenberg is undoubtedly a visionary…even if most people don’t get or understand his vision. Still, just to make it through any number of his films, like Naked Lunch or Videodrome for instance, deserves a pat on the back. His last film A Dangerous Method didn’t seem all too Cronenbergish but don’t worry dear fans, he still has weird on the brain. Case in point. The upcoming film Cosmoplolis which stars Robert Pattinson who plays a young billionaire Eric Packer. Recently faced with losing his empire, he begins to uncover clues that lead him to a more dire and terrifying secret: his imminent assassination. All you R-Pat fans, be advised, this teaser is weird and more importantly NSFW.…
