Movie Trailer: Killshot
Looks like a straight forward thriller. I'm not sure how this differentiates itself from the hundred other movies of a similar vein. They'll probably stick to selling this on the coattails of Rourke's rising fortunes. He's getting a lot of fawning press so that will help. The fact is that there's no real hook to draw in an audience and both Diane Lane and Thomas Jane in the leads is a bad sign. Both haven't been picking great projects as of late, I'm not sure Jane ever has, and this is probably just another in their line of stinkers. That's just my perception here, I could be wrong.

Movie Trailer: Hollywoodland
Adrien Brody continues his post-Oscar losing streak by portraying a loser detective looking the strange death/murder of the original Superman George Reeves. The trailer does a fair job of displaying the plodding tone of the full movie and the lifeless performances at its center.

Movie Trailer: Nights in Rodanthe
Finally, a movie about rich, self-absorbed, white people working through problems - let their voices be heard!

Special kudos go out to Viola Davis (Disturbia) who standing in for Whoopie Goldberg as the rich, white woman's singular black friend. She's wise and just urban enough to give that Oprah vibe without being so urban she's threatening to the suburban audience. You go girl!

What's James Franco doing here? Isn't he heading second tier flicks now (Flyboys, Annapolis), why take a turn with the wounded son role? Isn't there some teen from a television drama who could take this on to punch up their film resume?

Is there really any reason to see this film after watching the trailer? As I've said before, be wary of any film that gives you the whole narrative in the trailer.
