Trailer Park: Prometheus Trailer Trailer
It's probably that same trailer that was leaked in flakey-cam a few days back, but according to this trailer trailer, iTunes will have the official verison of Ridley Scott's Prometheus trailer on Thursday. The trailer trailer has some epic looking shots in, and my say I'm looking forward to this one.
Some other iinteresting stuff: Wrath of The Titans, Act of Valor and Jack the Giant Killer.
Talking of trailer trailers, it looks like their might be a trailer for The Hobbit materialising tomorrow night (Via AICN).

Thelma and Louise
Stylish feminist road movie that saw a return to form for Ridley Scott. Feminists might disagree.
Halliwell says: Timely, exuberant and off-beat feminist road movie that manages to say something interesting about the relationship between the sexes.***

Promo Promo: Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross & Karen O - Immigrant Song
It's possibly been a while since David Fincher made a promo - but he's knocked up these visuals for the cover of Immigrant Song used in his trailer for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The visuals also make up the title sequence of the movie.

The Bicycle Thief
Italian neo-realist classic, as area man struggles to find work and the necessary tools to do it.
Halliwell says: The epitome of Italian neo-realism, the slight human drama is developed so that it has all the force of King Lear, and both the acting and the backgrounds are vividly compelling.***

New Spidey Poster
still not quite sure what the point of this new Spider-Man reboot is, but anyhow, here's a new poster that suggests Andrew Garfield is also getting some new shadow-play power along with the web-slinging

The Driver
Moody, but flat and dull original car chase movie with Ryan O'Neal. More influential than it is good.
Halliwell says: Noisy melodrama, very proficient in the screeching tyro department but extremely empty as a character.*

RIP: Ken Russell
RIP legendary british director Ken Russell. Was always thoroughly baffled by Lair Of The White Worm as a young film fan. Not sure what I would make of it now either.

BBTF vs Nike Update
Some more info on those Nike Mag trainers from Back To The Future. Robert Zemekis wheeled out Christopher Lloyd for a cameo-packed promo film to launch the fund-raising recreating of the shoe ... and Tiny Tempah was one of the winning bidders, paying $37,500 for the shoes that he will "never wear".

Well handled, tense 80s angst classic, with Penn(s), Walken and Glover amongst the rogues gallery.
