Trailer Park Girls

Well we have four (ish) trailers to view. The first features a two time Oscar nominee, one time winner Chalize Theron in what looks like a slushy coming of age story. I could be totally wrong as trailers can be misleading. But I honestly cannot remember a bad trailer that leads to a good movie (always the other way around). Worse yet a lack luster trailer that leads to a good movie.
This is "Sleepwalking" and this has been getting decent notices at Sundance so there still is hope.



Seconlyd we have two time (imaginary) nominee Uma Thurman in what looks like either an eye stabbingly bad attempt of romantic comedy, or something that could be quite endearing...the jury is still out. Uma has three films out this year, so lets hope one can lead her to her second Oscar nom. Doubtful "The Accidental Husband" is it.



Thirdly we have Ellen Page in "Smart People". This looks promising. The cast looks interesting enough, but we will have to wait to see exactly how the chemistry is. I love me some SJP so will give this the bene of the doubt. (Check out the trailer for SJP's other film that seemed to be forgotten, and will now get a 2008 release ""Spinning into Butter"



And Lastly my Goddess come fourth before she takes a demotion to the small screen (you cannot win an Oscar there!!). Toni Collette stars in "The Black Balloon". Well this looks the best of the bunch for me. I am not biased either. Looks like Toni will be giving another wonderful and ignored performance in this. PLEASE GIVE HER AN OSCAR!!



He he...here is Toni again with grown up whale rider Keisha Castle-Hughes in "Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger" Not sure what to think, but hey.

This day will become a holy one: The day AnnaSophia Robb is credited above an Oscar-winner.
