14, count 'em 14, new trailers!

Yes, i'm back. It's been over a month and work insanity has been keeping me away but i am determined that this week and next will see a sudden explosion of new posts on here.

There will be a new side-bar dedicated to spoof trailers making its debut.

A whole host of films seen over the past 6-7 weeks will finally get reviewed (in mini form).

I will be pondering the whole 10-film best picture category at next year's Oscars and throwing out my thoughts on what the 10 might be.

But first: new trailers.

I won't post all the links here but you will find a brand new set of 14 trailers in the trailers to catch side-panel. All the old ones have been swept away so everything there today is new on here today. I also hope to add the new 2012 trailer later this week when i track down the link for it - saw it today but now can't find it!

Anyway to those featured today. We have a very mixed bunch; something for everyone. The three that are getting me most excited are Ponyo, (500) Days Of Summer and The Informant.

Ponyo, as the new American title has it (Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea for those of us that track the every move of Japanese animation god Hayao Miyazaki), is the trailer for the English-language version of the film featuring the voices of Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Tina Fey and others but most obviously Liam Neeson.

(500) Days Of Summer features one of my favourite young actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt and one of my uber-crushes Zooey Deschanel in what looks to be a "delightful" romantic comedy type. Sign me up my friends, sign me up!

The Informant is Soderbergh and Matt Damon in wacky mode. Think the Coen Brothers version of The Insider and might be just about there. This won't appeal to all but damn this trailer makes me chuckle and the idea of Scott "Quantum Leap" Bakula in a significant role is worth the price of admission alone!

Also new today we have:

Amelia - Hilary Swank looks for Oscar #3 in a bio-pic of Amelia Earhart which, despite being directed by Mira Nair, actually looks quite reasonable.

The Box - can Richard Kelly redeem himself? This thriller certainly looks like it could deliver.

Brothers - how it has taken this long for someone to cast Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire as siblings is beyond me. This looks a tad melodramatic but i like Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman and Sheridan's In America is one of my favourite films of the 2000s so i know i'll be seeing this one.

Couples Retreat - looks like it could bring the funny

Daybreakers - someone gave the Spierig brothers a budget. Hoping they deliver.

District 9 - new full trailer for this intriguing looking sci-fi

Fame - want to hate it but damn i think this trailer is kinda fun!

Funny People - red band trailer for the Apatow channels Brooks film looks slightly less Brooksian

Invention Of Lying - perfect Ricky Gervais subject. Could be fun.

Jennifer's Body - red band trailer for the Diablo Cody written horror

Old Boys - i shouldn't admit this made my laugh but it did so there, judge me!
