Eagle Eye trailer
After watching this I think my feeling of dislike toward Shia LaBeouf lends itself well to this type of movie, where I get to see him almost die a handful of times. That being said, Disturbia wasn’t so bad. Since this is another D.J. Caruso film, Eagle Eye shouldn’t be disappointing either.

Ghost in the Shell remake
Dreamworks secures the rights to remake Ghost in the Shell into a live-action movie.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That is all.
Art of the Title Sequence
The Art of the Title Sequence is a fresh collection of creative and inspiring title sequences from well-known films and television series. One of my favorites on that list is Cowboy Bebop from 1998.
My other favorites include Se7en, Dexter, Catch Me If You Can, and Planet of the Apes, to name a few.

Ed Norton as The Incredible Hulk
As much as I love Edward Norton, I’m a bit iffy on the trailer. It looks like it’ll be much better than the 2003 Ang Lee version, Hulk, that I would like to very much forget altogether.
Michel Gondry at Deitch Projects
Alongside the premier of his new film, Be Kind Rewind (which, by the way, has an absolutely ingenious and clever site), Michel Gondry has set up an elaborate studio where guests can film their own 5 to 15 minute short. The New York Times covers a bit of the ideas behind his setup at the Deitch as well as questioning his intentions that they are contrasting with his actual film work:
The interactive populism on display at Deitch Projects disguises the mandarin nature of the enterprise. Mr. Gondry’s project is, in fact, a big, ambitious work of conceptual art, in the vein of what the French critic and theorist Nicolas Bourriaud has called “relational aesthetics.”…
It doesn’t add up. Mr. Gondry comes off seeming confused and conflicted — if not condescending, self-serving and intellectually slippery.
I think it’s a bit hokey but it conjures up a lot of spirit his new film embodies. The Times also has a video that walks through the gallery and gets Gondry to share his take on the whole project. If you didn’t catch the trailer when it first floated around the web, you can watch it here.

Pineapple Express
A new Seth Rogan flick from the Apatow clan called Pineapple Express… they’re seriously cranking out those bizarre made-to-profit films. It looks pretty ridiculous but it’s got way more action that a pot movie should ever have. I’ll admit, though, every person has thought of this scenario before: you witness a murder while you’re blazed out of your mind and you don’t know what to do.
