Exciting trailer up for the new Danny Boyle movie 127 Hours, with the ever enigmatic James Franco.

Monsters is picking up a lot of buzz recently for it's old-school shocks and clever premise - aliens arrived back on a NASA probe and have been mutating and growing for 6 years.

The movie is a firt-time directorial effort from effects man Gareth Edwards. It's not quite on the same clever-with-the-budget page as Panic Attack, 28 Days Later or Blair Witch, looking more like a low(er) budget version of Cloverfield or even the Dawn of the Dead remake, but certainly attention worhty.

Looking forward to the Don Draper vs Ben Affleck crime drama The Town, directed by Affleck himself.

Trailer up for Let Me In, the US remake of Swedish-Indie-Vampire-Hit Let The Right One In. It's directed by the guy that made Cloverfield - and looks pretty good, though this early review over at AICN might suggest otherwise...

Michel Gondry + Seth Rogen = The Green Hornet. What coud possible go wrong? See for yourself here.

Trailer up for Michael Douglas' once-a-decade come back movie - Solitary Man. With added Danny DeVito.

The making-of featured in Girls of the Playboy Mansion months ago (apparently. I wouldn't know), but now there's a trailer for Somewhere - Sofia Coppola's follow-up to the mis-firing Marie Antoniette, and racist-but-thoroughly-entertaining Lost In Translation. In HD on Youtube and over at Apple.

Hanging out in hotels makes things look nice.

We've totally missed the boat on this one, as I caught the end of it on TV last night - but thought it was worth a few bytes of your time for a couple of reasons:

1) It's the loopiest concept I have seen in a long time

2) The production is also bonkers, shot entirely with hand-held consumer video cameras - mostly at super-fast shutter speeds of 1/1000 or 1/2000th of a second

Check it out here. The trailer's probably enough for most people.
