American Teen
A modern day Breakfast Club, as the trailer claims (the film’s poster even parodies the classic). The parallels in the documentary between rural Indiana and my current location Fresno, CA, may strike home, as it seems everyone always wants to get out of this “stinky” town. And of course, I’m going too identify with the Geek character in the film. But the film looks like it can go either way at this point. Will it be a “Laguna Beach in Indiana”? Perhaps. But that last shot in the trailer… yeah, that makes me think otherwise. Click here to go back to your high school days, if only for a couple of minutes. And I’m calling that the basketball dude doesn’t make it…

Speed Racer - 4 Minute Extended Trailer
It seems like a new trailer has been released every other week for this film. Not a single one of those has gotten me the least excited about it. This trailer changed all of that (amazing how a trailer can change your entire opinion of a film) and it’s now officially on my Cool-dar®. Check it out in HD over at Yahoo! and see if the Wachowski Brothers have the next big franchise in their hands.

Lakeview Terrace
Oh, Sam Jackson…what will you do next? Dude always has me on edge wondering what his next project is going to be, seeing that he does at least 6 or 10 films a year. I can never get enough of Mace Windu. But for every Unbreakable, we get two The Man’s. So here he seems to be channeling his Grand Theft Auto role of a corrupt cop only this time he’s messing with the neighbors. Will I see this in the theater? Probably not, as Sam Jackson films are usually DVD fodder for me. But check out the trailer here and decide for yourself.
