Standard Operating Procedure

Trailer for the new Errol Morris documentary on Abu Ghraib prison is riveting. BTW, as some of you might know, we have a category dedicated to the Errol Morris documentary style: recreations, meditative music, eloquent interviewees and detective work disguised as film research.

Pineapple Express Trailer

Anything from David Gordon Green has to be awesome (yes, you can print it). New trailer for an upcoming comedy(!) starring Seth Rogen. The trailer has M.I.A’s Paper Planes song which is ideal for trailers, I guarantee we will see a shitload of trailers doing the same thing.

Watch it (Thanks Amory)

Is this really a documentary? Where did they find this guy? Can’t wait. Produced by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me).

Protagonist

Incredibly interesting.

Explores extremism and the limits of certainty. Inspired by Greek drama, this visually inventive documentary weaves the stories of four men - a German terrorist, a bank robber, an “ex-gay” evangelist, and a martial arts student consumed by personal odysseys.

Reminds me of the Errol Morris film “Fast, Cheap & Out of Control”, which was great.

One of the best books I ever read. I wonder if the movie can live up to it.

Finishing The Game Trailer

Finishing The Game Trailer

The trailer is hilarious, I wonder if they have any jokes left for the feature. The plot:

The unexpected death of Bruce Lee, a worldwide phenomenon and established movie star, came at the zenith of his popularity. Having already shot scenes for his upcoming movie GAME OF DEATH, studio heads decided to complete the film by launching a search for his replacement attracting hopefuls from all around the world. FINISHING THE GAME is an uproarious, poignant, unpredictable and action-packed re-imagining of that casting process for Lee’s replacement and examines the leaps and bounds Asians have taken in media representation - or have they?

Part of Sundance 2007, sounds very promising.

Juno Trailer

Juno Trailer

This should be the Little Miss Sunshine of 2007 (a movie I loved). Ellen Page who plays the title character seems like a star in the making. Her comic timing, at least from the trailers, is impeccable. Can’t wait for this to come out.
