Joel and Ethan get serious.

New Coen Bros project, A Serious Man.
Trailer looks good, I like the way it's cut and builds but I am really pumped to see what they do with The Yiddish Policeman's Union next year. Cant think of anyone more perfect to bring that novel to the screen.

Youth in Revolt


Based on the series by C.D. Payne, Miguel Artera brings us Youth in Revolt.  I have never read the books but the trailer looks sort of like Fight Club for sexually frustrated teens and in no way do I mean that in a negative way.  Michael Cera was starting to get on my nerves a little bit but seeing him as Francois with that distinguished, 
magnanimously-magnum stash makes my annoyance just float away.


Inception teaser

This teaser really shows nothing because well it is just that, a teaser and the film isn't even finished yet.   
First off it's a new Nolan film and my rule for Cameron spans across a few directors one being Mr.Nolan, getting into the cast is almost comical how many heavy hitters signed on:
Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Michael Caine, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, 
Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Lucas Haas, Ken Wantanabe.

Inception wont be hitting theaters for a long while yet, therefore it is destined to leave my hype for it growing like a festering abscess that will not be drained till it's thankfully inevitable release date.  



Avatar

Ok, I have a rule; it's fairly elementary in structure and I tend to adhere to it quite rigidly whenever it arises. The rule is stated as follows: (When James Cameron makes a film...go see it.) 
I've been reading about Avatar for about 7 years, a number which you may think is an exaggeration but in reality it's probably longer than that.
So honestly if you haven't had a look at the Avatar teaser, you must indulge.
And to the sudden outcry by everyone who is pissed their mind wasn't totally blown by this trailer and are now on a mission to tell everyone Avatar is going to suck, and Cameron is a dick and it's land before time 3 or something idiotic and completely unwarranted , just shut up.  Don't judge a finalized film by a small trailer.  
I think it looks very interesting.
