American Hustle trailer: David O. Russell has a new movie! David O. Russell has a new movie!
I don’t even care what it’s about, I’m there.

The Selfish Giant trailer: so, not a fairy tale, then
Well, this looks depressing. Not that that’s a bad thing, of course.
The Monuments Men trailer: glorious bastards
Oh, this one is going to tick a lot of boxes for me: art and culture, men in uniform, World War II, the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, and George Clooney.
Capital trailer: old money
That “in a world” voiceover narration makes it come across as a film from 70s-era Costa-Gavras (when he won his Oscars)…
Escape Plan trailer: the Escapables?
This is what The Expendables hath wrought. Now we’ve got 70-year-old guys thinking they’re plausible as the toughest alpha-male badasses among the worst guys on the planet.
Romeo and Juliet trailer: not another teen romance
These kids today, with their blood feuds and their dueling and their all-night masquerade balls.
Philomena trailer: give Judi Dench back her son!
Steve Coogan, Judi Dench, Stephen Frears. So much goodness in yet another story about the inhuman awfulness of the Catholic Church. Hooray, I guess.
Le Week-end trailer: ah, Paris!
Ah, Jeff Goldblum! Ah, Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan!
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit trailer: reboot in name only
If they really wanted to do something different, here’s an idea: Jacqueline Ryan.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug new trailer: here be Cumberbatch
The Hobbit 2 is like a joke title meant to highlight Hollywood’s vacuousness. Jackson’s gonna have to work hard to live that down.
