The Troll Hunter is the story of a group of Norwegian film students that set out to capture real-life trolls on camera after learning their existence has been covered up for years by a government conspiracy.

It’s obvious the film is wildly entertaining and thrilling. Reviewers are say it delivers truly fantastic images of giant trolls wreaking havoc on the countryside, with darkly funny adherence to the original Norwegian folklore.

The Troll Hunter was written and directed by André Øvredal. It stars Otto Jesperson, Glenn Erland Tosterud, Johanna Mørck, Tomas Alf Larsen, Urmila Berg-Domaas, and Hans Morten Hansen.

Birger Vestmo of the Norwegian Broadcasting Company gave the film six out of six points, and wrote that “a new Norwegian classic is born.” He also applauded the movie for combining Norwegian cultural elements with Hollywood cinematic flair.

I suggest that you read the subtitles because the dialogue is funny.

The soundtrack for this trailer is so melancholy that it gets under my skin.

Battle: Los Angeles 2011 revolves around a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon’s battle against an alien invasion on the streets of Los Angeles.

In 1942 Los Angeles had a UFO air craft visit them. It was even reported in the LA Times.  You can check out the story here.

“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Scott Glen delivers this line so nonchalant, I love it.  But they are wise words.  Here another: “Begin your journey, it will set you free.”

This trailer is visually satisfying and it speaks for itself. Enjoy it! Oh…stay away from psychiatric institutions! Better yet, close them all down, sucker!

How Do You Know is a comedy from Academy Award-winning writer-director James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets, Broadcast News, Terms of Endearment), starring Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson.

The movie looks promising.  I just hope it’s as good as Brooks can get, which can be very entertaining.

When I first saw the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, I didn’t understand the books because the cartoon drawings turned me off.  Then I saw some boys lining up to purchase the most recent book. I was surprised because it meant boys like the book.

Now it’s a movie and I like the way the trailer looks.  Real people, not cartoons, seems more appealing to me.  I hope faithful followers feel the same way. The story centers on a group of middle school boys. One student named Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is smart, a little small for his age and an old soul.  He is hilarious in the trailer.

Wimpy Kid looks like a boy’s movie. I can’t imagine young girls watching this movie because it’s about boys being…well…boys.

What a stunning trailer with the sound pounding a foreboding curse.  We hear Ellen Page shout “Wake Me Up! Wake Me Up!” 

Yet, Christopher Nolan, director of the movie, doesn’t let us in on the whole story.  Like most trailers these days that dump the whole story in your lap from the beginning, middle and the end.  That is what makes this trailer so cool and inviting.  We don’t get the story, just teasing pieces that barely make sense. I want to see more. Don’t you?

TSALEver since Jake Taylor was a kid, he was the type of guy you couldn’t help but like. For Jake, life is good. He has a ton of friends, a basketball scholarship, a hot girlfriend and a really bright future. Not much to get down about, right?

Enter Roger Dawson. He was Jake’s childhood best friend before Jake’s growing popularity pushed him out. Tired of not fitting in and having a place to belong, Roger walks onto campus and, with a gun in his pocket and pain in his heart, makes a tragic move.

Jake is devastated by what Roger has done, and something in him changes. In seeking answers in his own life, one question plagues him the most: Could I have saved him? He finds himself deeply compelled to reach out to kids on the fringe – kids who aren’t viewed as cool enough. But this decision among other things, threatens Jake’s world. He may lose his friends, his scholarship and even his reputation by asking “What do I want my life to be about?”

To Save a Life opens in select theaters on January 22, 2010!

Season of the Witch seems like a typical movie of the Middle Ages with lots of darkness and a witch for men to contend with despite having her in a cage pulled by horses. But I really like the sound editing in this film.  The horse hooves resounding creates an eerie feeling of doom and death.

The movie opens in March 2009.
