In October, the full trailer for the new Jason Reitman film Young Adult hit the web. It was quirky, funny and most of all it reminded us that petty high schoolers grow old but they don’t always grow up. Today we get a small taste of what is really in store for us as we see the beautiful Charlize Theron channeling Diablo Cody’s not so beautiful writing. For those faint of heart, have look at the green band trailer. For those of you who need a short but bitter mid-Tuesday wake up shot, look no further… Charlize plays Mavis Gary the foul-mouthed divorcee returning to her old life in small-town suburbia and…

Sweet (and Spooky) Trailer…The Woman In Black
From director James Watkins (Eden Lake) and screenwriter Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class) comes the adaptation of Susan Hills’ atmospheric novel The Woman in Black which follows young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) as he travels to a remote village to organize a recently deceased client’s papers. But an evil presence lurks and there he encounters the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance. It’s got just the right mix of creepy settings and boo scares so have a look at this shorter but still effective trailer… Radcliffe will be starring alongside the likes of Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer, Roger Allam and The Woman in Black has been slated for a release date of February 3rd 2012. Mrs. Go,See,Talk saw a 2…

Sweet Trailer…'Brave'
Brave tells the tale of Scottish Princess Merida, an unruly daughter of royal nobility who is not content living by her family’s rules (sound like any other Disney Pricesses we know??). Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. Going in the “way back machine” this excitingly looks in the same vein of the other recent and fun medieval stories like Legend of The Guardians or How To Train Your Dragon and that’s got my fires stoked! For those of you who were on board for the teaser trailer back in June behold, the full length trailer…now with more Scottish accents. Enjoy! Originally Brave was to be directed…

Sweet Trailer…'Being Flynn'
It’s been a while since Paul Weitz gave us About A Boy (an endlessly charming family-centric film if I do say so myself) and unfortunately as of late his track record has been on par with the once mighty Shamhammer (read: Shyamalan). While no one was expecting anything of merit from Little Fockers, the most recent in a series of underwhelming films from both Weitz and De Niro, the two reunite in the adaptation of offering a story about another of a troubled broken family looking for some semblance of normalcy. Below is the trailer for the Robert De Niro led film Being Flynn. Have a look… So far, I’m game. The unassuming…

Sweet Trailer…'Snow White & The Huntsman' – UPDATED
Wow! I knew this other Snow White movie was going for a larger and grittier tone but I wasn’t expecting this. From Universal Pictures comes the Rupert Sanders directed take on the Snow White story we all know…or think we know. Combining the looks of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with a scale on par with anything Ridley Scott has ever done this just floored me. Enough words, just watch…oh and sorry for the short ad below. Enjoy!! Going for a rather heavy and dark spin on the famous fairytale this looks, as I kind of imagined, waaay more interesting and captivating than the upcoming Tarsem Singh film Mirror, Mirror. Can’t say much…

Sweet Trailer…'Pariah'
From writer/director Dee Rees comes the feature length expansion of her award-winning 2007 short film Pariah. After the screening last night, I’d have to say this is probably the most surprisingly heartfelt and enjoyable film I’ve seen so far this half of 2011. Sporting a talented cast led by Adepero Oduye (and no less than 9 producers including Spike Lee), Pariah is a finely acted and written film, I’d seriously suggest you check out this honest and inspirational film… 17 year old Alike (pronounced ah-lee-kay) is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the sometimes boisterous support of her best friend, out lesbian Laura (Pernell Walker), Alike is especially…

Sweet Trailer…'Shame'
From writer/director Steve McQueen comes the controversial and sexual drama Shame. It’s about Brandon, a 30-something New Yorker, who’s private life (which allows him to indulge his sexual addiction) begins to unravel after his sister moves into his apartment for an indefinite stay. Starring Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) and Carey Mulligan (Drive) this trailer gives just a hint at the anxious intensity to be expected in McQueen’s follow up to Hunger. Have a look, it’s pretty riveting… Wow huh? Seemingly in the same vein of Black Swan and other dark but powerful films like it, McQueen’s latest feature is a courageous exploration of modern life’s extremes. Despite the controversy around the…

Sweet Trailer…'The Devil Inside'
With found footage films making a resurgence as of late the next film coming down the pike (but sadly not in time for Halloween) is The Devil Inside. The first we heard of this was in the creepy viral video/911 call released last week and now we have a full on trailer which looks to have found footage goodness (well faux-documentary if you want to get specific) written all over it. Let’s just hope the final product comes out as good as it’s teasing. Have a look for yourself and enjoy! In the same vein as the Eli Roth produced film The Last Exorcism this hopefully will offer something worth…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'The Avengers'
Oh boy comic fans, today is a very special day. The teaser for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers just hit the web and it’s got fan boys (and girls) excited for what is probably the largest superhero movie ever created. Assembling the members one by one in semi-interweaving origin stories Marvel (and now Disney) has taken one helluva chance on the success of this ensemble film. I have a feeling that it’ll be awesome but you probably don’t need me to tell you that right? So until we get a full trailer, another and the endless TV spots, have a look at what Whedon will be bringing us next May. Man, I know…

Sweet Trailer…'The Lady'
Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen something from Luc Besson that looked this good! The Lady is a film adaptation chronicling the life of pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi and the academic and writer Michael Aris. It’s a true story of love set against political turmoil that really really looks like a stunner with tons of emotional weight behind it. Have a look for yourselves… The Lady stars Michelle Yeoh (as real-life Burmese political leader Aung San Suu Kyi) and I’m glad to see her taking a role that’s against type. I’ve been saying it for years that sure she can high kick but she can also act…
