New trailers: 13 (including new Jonze, Wes Anderson, Gilliam & Coens)

Where The Wild Things Are - DAMN! This looks so set to be my film of the year. It's been on my most anticipated all year and the more i see the more excited i get. Can't wait. Latest full trailer below and (as usual) on trailer bar, right:



The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus - wow! This looks stunning, everything i wanted from the new Gilliam film. I just hope it can live up to the promise of this trailer and the fantastic cast.



The Fantastic Mr Fox - The further you get in this trailer the better it looks. Took me 30 seconds to get past the look which threw me to start with but this does look very funny. An animated film from Wes Anderson with voice cast including Clooney, Streep and Bill Murray is too intriguing for words.



It's Complicated - speaking of Streep! Okay, i'm sorry but i loved What Women Want and really enjoyed both The Holiday and Something's Gotta Give! I know, i know i have no excuses, i'm just a sucker for these films and this one looks like another winner to me. Streep is on a phenomenal run at the moment, Alec Baldwin, usually consistent, is peaking right now and Steve Martin seems to bringing that old comedic charm rarely seen since the early 90s. Sign me up.



The Blind Side - okay, so i'm obviously just in a sappy mood today because i kinda want to see this too (though it's partly because i like Bullock). It looks classically run-of-the-mill but i know i'll give it a shot.



The Boys Are Back - ah-ha, the real me returns, 'cause this looks like a sap-fest that will iritate the hell out of me. Lousy all the way, not helped of course by the wooden presence of Clive Owen.



A Serious Man - woo-hoo! You got to love the Coens (in fact i'm seeing Big Lebowski again at the cinema tonight). This looks in the wacky fun side of the brothers school as per Raising Arizona - perhaps almost squarely landing between Barton Fink and Intolerable Cruelty!



Dorian Gray - this trailer starts badly but gets better. I'm not sure. I don't like the style, and it is VERY stylised. But the presence of the wonderful Rebecca Hall will alone guarantee i watch it.



Tron Legacy - ah, 80s reminiscers (it that a word?!) rejoice. Flynn is back, and in 3D no less!



Did You Hear About The Morgans - aarrgh! This looks horrible. As if a comedy with Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't enough reason not to watch a film this trailer would have to be the convincer!


Gentlemen Broncos - I've never heard of this but with Sam Rockwell, the usually reliable young actor Michael Angarano and from the director of Napoleon Dynamite i'm ashamed to say so. Especially as this looks hilarious. Enjoy.



New York, I Love You - after Paris, Je T'Aime comes another set of all-star vignettes, this times odes to the Big Apple. Looks good, but these vignette movies are always hit and miss. We'll have to see.



Law Abiding Citizen - and what would a new set of trailers be without a cheesy thriller than looks hugely entertaining!
