Men Who Stare At Goats, or How look! It's Ewan!

As I was typing up my list of Top 20 Actors, I bemoaned to myself that Ewan McGregor (who I can't NOT-love after Moulin Rouge!) hasn't had the greatest track record (why must he play second-fiddle to Oscar winners in thankless roles? Yes, I'm looking at you Miss Potter and Amelia!) And then, as if answering my prayers, come the trailer for The Men Who Stare at Goats (which seems like it'd make a great triple feature alongside A Serious Man and The Informant! no?)

I love me some Clooney comedy and some rugged Ewan, so here's hoping the film delivers.

Easy Virtue, or How make room for Kristin

I saw this trailer in front of Sunshine Cleaning and it just made me so giddy. True, I have NEVER EVER anticipated a Jessica Biel film, and never thought I would, but I'd be lying if I said I don't want to watch this asap. That said, the obvious attraction is seeing a certain Ms Scott-Thomas be her icy, cold bitchy British self.

Duplicity or How it's a Closer Reunion!

I know there are some Julia haters out there. To them I say: shut it! 

I know, I know - I can get a bit testy when people I (heart) get picked on. But seriously, how can you hate on Julianne, Anna (x2), Vivian, Erin, Maggie, Shelby and Tess? In any case, that's not the point. The point is I'm digging this Ocean-esque trailer for Tony Gilroy's follow up to his Oscar nominated directorial debut Michael Clayton which starred George and gave Tilda her Oscar. (It seems Gilroy is slowly moving down the Ocean's cast from Matt- he wrote the Bourne movies, to George and here now with Julia - next? Brad, or maybe Casey, or Don?) Sure, I wish it had a more inspired title but you gotta give it props for using Goldfrapp in the trailer and for employing the criminally underused Carrie Preston (love her in Transamerica).

Best line in the trailer? "Do you have any idea how far my ass was hanging out because of you?" (and here's hoping Clive means that literally...)

Best Closer-esque badinage: 

Julia: If I told you I loved you, would it make a difference?

Clive: If you told me or if I believed you?
