Sorry to start the day off with this heartbreaking trailer, but it has to be seen. It’s the first trailer Lee Hirsch’s documentary Bully which looks at the increasingly troubling issue of bullying in American schools. In the film you will hear stories from parents whose children have committed suicide as a result of the bullying they suffered with. Another story focuses on a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals’ offices
Speaking of bullies, the MPAA gave the movie an R rating for “some language”, but The Weinstein Company will appeal in order to make the film accessible to those who should also see this movie, you know…kids

Here is the very cool teaser trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter with the 16th President as a vampire slayer. The tagline is simple yet badass, much like the film by the looks of it. The use of Johnny Cash’s “The Man Comes Around” (reading of Revelations 6:1) works here, adding a more serious tone to the film, that’s right, this is no joke ala Snakes on a Plane, it’s the real deal folks.
It’s an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel of the same name and is produced by Tim Burton and directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted). Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opens in 3D on June 22nd.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest President, and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the blood-thirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.
UPDATE: The international trailer was released, it’s also below:
Any trailer that uses the song ‘Road to Nowhere’ by Talking Heads is just fine in my books, so here we have Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, that’s an odd combination I must say. The movie is rated R which is great news, because if I knew the world was going to end, I would let the expletives fly!
The cast includes Adam Brody (The OC), Rob Corddry (Children’s Hospital), Gillian Jacobs (Community), Derek Luke (Antoine Fisher), Melanie Lynskey (Away We Go), T.J. Miller (Cloverfield), Patton Oswalt (Big Fan) and William Petersen (CSI).
Set in a too-near future, a man searches for a meaningful connection as humanity’s last days are at hand. Can he find his greatest love at the worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.
Seeking will be released on June 22 and the trailer can be watched below:
The first trailer for The Bourne Legacy is here and all eyes are on Jeremy Renner. The trailer does a good job at telling us to forget Jason Bourne and introduces us to Aaron Cross played by Renner.
The editing still looks the same: fast and furious with a lot of bones breaking, all par for the course in these action movies I suppose. The film also stars Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach, Oscar Isaac, Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, and Scott Glenn.
The Bourne Legacy opens August 3rd, watch the trailer below:
Take This Waltz is the latest effort from Sarah Polley who last directed the fantastic film Away From Her in 2006. Take This Waltz is a funny, bittersweet and heart-wrenching story about a woman struggling to choose between two different types of love.
The film stars Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen as a couple struggling with said fidelity; it also has Sarah Silverman playing Rogen’s sister. Look for a June 29th limited release and watch the trailer below:
Bullhead is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Oscars, and for good reason by the looks of it. Anyone who saw Bronson starring Tom Hardy will instantly be reminded of what a powerhouse he became for the role, much like Mattias Schoenaerts did here. It’s a crime thriller and fight fest which means it will have all my great movie sense tingling.
The trailer will leave you wanting to read the synopsis as it’s merely just a set up of the atmosphere, and what a great job it does.
Domineering cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille (Mattias Schoenaerts), constantly pumped on steroids and hormones, initiates a shady deal with a notorious mafioso meat trader. When an investigating federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions.
Check out the trailer below, Bullhead hits theaters on February 17.
The Amazing Spider-Man has a new trailer and it’s definitely doing a good job at letting people know that this is not another Sam Raimi telling of Spider-Man. I still believe Spider-Man 2 is one of the best films in the superhero genre. So Marc Webb’s reboot of Spider-Man has a lot to prove in my books.
In the new horror movie 7500, passengers aboard a flight to Japan are not alone, and by the looks of things in the image above, all very well groomed. Directed by Takashi Shimizu, the director of The Grudge, 7500 hits theaters on August 31, 2012.
Watch the teaser trailer below to see the odd happenings on this plane.
