trailer break: ‘Miracle at St. Anna’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Spike Lee’s got a new movie, and it looks to me like he’s trying to save Private Ryan or something… Miracle at St. Anna opens Friday, September 26.

trailer break: ‘Nights in Rodanthe’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I thought about maybe going to a screening of this tomorrow, even though I should be spending the day packing and getting ready to leave at like 4am on Wednesday for my trip to England. And then I discovered that this is based on a novel … more…
trailer break: ‘My Best Friend’s Girl’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Not screened for critics (and so currently has a Freshness rating of N/A on Rotten Tomatoes). I bet it ends up not screening for too many members of the general public, either. My Best Friend’s Girl opens today.
trailer break: ‘Doubt’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Heh: three gods of the screen — Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep and Viola Davis — and one future god — Amy Adams — in a story about how unwavering belief in a god can warp your mind. Doubt opens in December.
trailer break: ‘Ghost Town’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh man, there is nothing worse for a writer than discovering that one of your ideas had been done by someone else. Cuz this was my idea, that the ghost of a dead lover would come back to finish up business with the still-alive beloved. My … more…
trailer break: ‘Appaloosa’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s Unforgiven meets Shanghai Noon… without the laughs! This is the second movie from Ed Harris as a director (after 2000’s Pollack), and — kidding aside — it looks like my kind of movie, full of action and emotion and, well, Viggo Mortensen. I have to … more…
trailer break: ‘Towelhead’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… A girl’s coming-of-age plus hot-button ethnic issues plus that cast (Aaron Eckhart, Maria Bello, Toni Collette), and it’s all from Alan Ball? Excellent! I missed every damn screening of this, but I hope to catch it once it opens. Towelhead opens in limited release September 12.
trailer break: ‘Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I nominate “It’s not you I don’t trust — it your private thoughts that give me pause” as one of the worst lines of the year. (And, oh yeah, I have been collecting notable quotes all year long, and I’ll post what I have so far … more…
trailer break: ‘Proud American’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Please remove your hats and stand for this trailer: Did you count them? Not one, not two, not three, not four: Five. Five stories ripped from the Hallmark Channel by way of the 700 Club. In IMAX. With the stars-and-stripes waving behind them. And Toby Keith … more…
trailer break: ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’ teaser
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s a redband, so maybe NSFW, unless you work somewhere really cool: Aw, and it’s nostalgic: “the porn I liked when I was a kid…” Sweet. It’s Kevin Smith-a-riffic. I might even like Seth Rogen in this. And yes, Han Solo surely did have sex with … more…
