New Trailers

Okay, new here not totally new new in the grand scheme of things! Anyway now on the trailer bar to the right:

State Of Play - the new Kevin Macdonald film is looking pretty good. Have to admit i never saw the TV show so excited for this one.

The Young Victoria - looks a little shakey to me and the fact it is releasing fairly soon but did not release to qualify for awards season when it is so clearly awards bait rings of Other Boleyn Girl-like lack of confidence. I like Emily Blunt and Paul Bettany so i hope it's better than i suspect it's going to be.

The Informers - red band trailer for the interminably delayed Bret Easton Ellis adaptation, filmed back in 2007. Not sure about this one. Wasn't a huge fan of the film version of American Psycho. Rules of Attraction was better but not stunning. This looks somewhere in between. Still Mickey Rourke's in it so i'll watch it.

The Boat That Rocked - I make no bones about the fact i hate Love Actually. Hate it. It had a few funny moments sure but the whole is a baggy mess. Richard Curtis clearly needed an editor with some balls because he can't self edit. On Four Weddings and such he had another director to see the flaws in the script and bring the best of it out but jettisoning the extraneous. Not so in Love Actually which is weighed down by as much tedious crap as it has funny bits. I hope he has learned and that this one may be better. Damn it the idea combined with a cast of PSH, Nighy and Nick Frost out to bring the funny but the trailer is kind of underwhelming!
