trailer break: ‘I Can Do Bad All by Myself’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh god, Tyler Perry is at it again. I mean, at exactly the same thing again.

trailer break: ‘Sorority Row’

Based on the acclaimed novel by the Dalai Lama and winner of this year’s Palme d’Or– no, wait, that was another movie. And people say there are no roles for hot women in Hollywood– no, wait, they don’t say that. I bet Princess Leia is the killer even though the trailer makes it look like … more…

trailer break: ‘Crude’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Huffington Post called this “the film Chevron doesn’t want you to see” — and it’s easy to see why.
