New trailers


I'm not bothering to post all the links in here because for now they are all on the trailer links panel on the right, but today i've put up 6 new trailers and wow are they a mixed set of movie types.


The only one i'm linking to is a documentary i'm now desperate to see, Facing Ali:
Boxing has always been a sport that makes a back-drop for great films, including my all-time favourite Raging Bull, and probably my favourite sports documentary is another Ali focussed one, Leon Gast's brilliant When We Were Kings. Facing Ali looks to be another fascinating doc and i pray it gets UK distribution or at least a slot at the London or Raindance Film Festivals.
Also new on the trailer board today:
Antichrist - Lars von Trier's Cannes competitor looks suitably intriguing, but like all Trier works could go either way. But i've liked the last few: Dogville, Manderlay, The Boss Of It All so here's hoping.
Armored - for anyone who unashamedly loves Judgement Night (starring Emilio Estevez, Stephen Dorff, Cuba Gooding Jr and Denis Leary) or Trespass (starring Bill Paxton, Ice Cube, Ice-T and William Sadler) comes this year's b-list ensemble fun, starring Columbus Short, Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Skeet Ulrich etc. I'm sorry but this looks really entertaining! I hope it is.
The Girlfriend Experience - new Soderbergh on Bubble type mode. Looks interesting but like Antichrist could go either way.
Paper Heart - could be funny, could be sweet, could be irritating as all hell! A faux documentary starring Knocked Up's Charlyne Yi and the ubiquitous Michael Cera.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - new trailer shows a lot more plot and is the most passable yet, but i'm still not sold.
