Trailer: My Week With Marilyn

Watch the trailer for My Week With Marilyn (opening November 4th) starring Michelle Williams as the legendary Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, doesn’t it look totally amazing?! I must see this!

In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl. The film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Aurthur Miller (Dougray Scott).

Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The Prince, the Showgirl and Me was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as My Week with Marilyn – this is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

Trailer: Roman Polanski’s ‘Carnage’

Director Roman Polanski promises another wham packed entry into his cannon of notable works with his take no prisoners Carnage. Polanski worked on the script while under house arrest in 2010 with Yasmina Reza, adapted from Reza’s Tony award-winning play God of Carnage. Academy Award-winners Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and Oscar nominee John C. Reilly comprise the only players in the dark comedy, about two adult couples who meet up to discuss a dispute their children had on the playground earlier that day. Interestingly enough, though set in Brooklyn, New York, filming was shot in Paris per Polanski’s inability to entrench on American soil. Also music is by Alexander Desplat, whose credits include Golden Globe-winning work in The Painted Veil as well as BAFTA award-winning work in The King’s Speech. The film will premiere at the Venice Film Festival with a major American release set for December 16th. Watch the just released trailer below, will the film pick up Oscars like the play picked up Tonys?

Get Your Chills On: Dream House / Trailer

Catch the trailer for Dream House (out September 30th) below, it totally gave me a case of the chills! It stars hottie Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, this was the movie that got them together in real-life, he left his fiancee and she left her hubby director Darren Aronofsky, and now they’re happily married but who knows how long that will last, this is Hollywood after all! Hopefully long enough so doing press together for this movie won’t be totally awkward. The film was directed by Irish award-winner Jim Sheridan, which makes me conclude this could actually turn out to be a really decent thriller!

Some say that all houses have memories. For one man, his home is the place he would kill to forget. Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz star in Dream House, a suspense thriller about a family that unknowingly moves into a home where grisly murders were committed…only to find themselves the killer’s next target. Successful publisher Will Atenton (Craig) quit a high power job in Manhattan to relocate his wife, Libby (Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates, he’s not sure if he’s starting to see ghosts or if the tragic story is just hitting too close to home. His only clues come from Ann Paterson (Watts), a mysterious neighbor who knew those who were shot. And as Will and Ann piece together the haunting puzzle, they must find out who murdered the family in Will’s dream house before he returns to kill again.

Teaser Trailer: The Dark Knight Rises

Although we all need to wait until next summer to see The Dark Knight Rises, the third (and apparently final) Batman flick from visionary director Christopher Nolan, here’s the just released teaser trailer! I’m dying to see actress Anne Hathaway take on the role of Catwoman, it’s going to be super hard to compete with the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer (I live for her in 1992′s Batman Returns), Eartha Kitt, and Julie Newmar! I left out Halle Berry on purpose and for a good reason, that 2004 film totally sucked!

Yup, Meryl Streep is still amazing!

Oh look, a teaser for Meryl Streep‘s new movie about Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady, has hit the web and of course, she’s magnificent. She’s always magnificent. I swear to God, the woman must have multiple personality disorder or something because her level of talent is unnatural. Seriously, how? HOW?! Is she a wizard or something? Seriously, if you were to ask me to do a Margaret Thatcher impression, I’d just say “I’m Margaret Thatcher. I’m a lady! I have pearls! Hem hem hem!” in a British accent and then you’d kick me in the balls because I have no talent.

Unfortunately it’s not opening until November 23rd, but I think it’s totally going to be worth the wait!

Meet Monica Velour

OMG! Meet Monica Velour (in theaters April 8th) looks like such a sweet movie, and also stars Kim Cattrall in a role (an aging pornstar) quite different from Sex And The City‘s Samantha Jones! While on the topic of movies, I haven’t been to see one in a few months, I think this is a record for me! There just hasn’t been anything out lately that has spurred me on, I’ve been all about renting flicks and watching TV. But I might need to go see this one, it’s right up my alley.

In this irreverent comedy, awkward teenager Tobe (Dustin Ingram) sets off on a road trip to meet Monica Velour (Kim Cattrall), his favorite ’80s porn star, at a rare live appearance hundreds of miles away. Instead of the glamorous sexpot portrayed on film, he finds a 49-year-old single mom living in a trailer in rural Indiana, performing at seedy strip clubs to make ends meet. A starry-eyed Tobe, still captivated by his crush, befriends Monica, further complicating her difficult life. Kim Cattrall gives a career-defining performance in this offbeat love story that appeals to the dreamer — and the nerd — in all of us.

Saoirse Ronan is ‘Hanna’

I am totally down for the upcoming action movie called Hanna, starring Saoirse Ronan (who I’ve loved ever since Atonement, that movie is amazing, the music alone is chilling!), the incredible Cate Blanchett and cutie Eric Bana! Look for in theaters on April 8th, for now watch the trailer below.

Hanna

Award-winning director Joe Wright creates a boldly original suspense thriller with HANNA, starring Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones, Atonement) in the title role. Raised by her father (Eric Bana of Star Trek), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland, Hanna’s upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.
