Starring: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambon, Guy Pearce
Director: Tom Hooper
British historical drama starring Colin Firth as King George VI and Geoffrey Rush as his speech therapist, who helped him overcome a debilitating stammer. Guy Pearce plays the King’s abdicating brother, Timothy Spall is Winston Churchill. Directing is Tom Hooper, the former British TV director who made his film debut last year with The Damned United. This is one of the best trailers of the year, packing more emotion, charm and wit into 2:24 than most movies do in two hours. The movie itself has been getting great early reviews.

The Warrior’s Way
Starring: Jang Dong-gun, Geoffrey Rush, Kate Bosworth, Danny Huston, Tony Cox
Director: Sngmoo Lee
Before we get cowboys and aliens next year, we get cowboys and ninjas. The Warrior’s Way is a visually stunning martial arts western starring Korean actor Jang Dong-gun as an Asian warrior assassin hiding in a small town in the American Badlands. There he befriends the town drunk (Rush) and a circus knife thrower (Bosworth), both of whom have powerful secrets. This is an odd and financially risky movie – a $40 million genre-mixing American movie that looks foreign. It also finished shooting back in Feb 2008 and such a delay is rarely a good sign. Maybe they just weren’t sure how to market it.
Black Swan
Starring: Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Psychological thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as rival ballet dancers in a New York production of Swan Lake. The production requires a ballerina to play both the innocent White Swan and the sensual Black Swan. Portman’s character is suited for the former, her rival for the latter and as they compete, she finds a dark side of herself. Considered one of the best films of the year by critics.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Starring: Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, Will Poulter, Ben Barnes, Liam Neeson (voice)
Director: Michael Apted
The movie Disney didn’t want. They gave up on the series after the worrying financial performace of the second movie, but Fox came in as distributor late in the day. The story sees Edmund (Keynes) and Lucy (Henley), staying at their cousin’s house, when they are drawn into a painting of an old ship. There they join the new King of Narnia, King Caspian, on a nautical quest. The movie looks like solid family entertainment. But why doesn’t Aslan’s roar sound anything like Liam Neeson?
The Tourist
Starring: Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell, Timothy Dalton, Haley Webb
Director: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Two of the three biggest stars in the world (Will Smith not present) team up for the story of an American tourist (Depp) visiting Italy to mend a broken heart, who’s used by a sophisticated English woman (Jolie) to flush out her former lover and distract the authorities on her trail. Expect way more double-crossing than is in the trailer. Tom Cruise was originally going to play the lead role but was replaced by Sam Worthington. Worthington then left and was replaced by Johnny Depp. – That’s right, Depp is getting Worthington’s hand-me-downs, how did that happen?

I Love You, Phillip Morris
Starring: Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro
Directors: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa
Comedy-drama based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell played by Jim Carrey. While incarcerated, Russell falls in love with his fellow inmate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). After Morris is released from prison, Russell escapes four times in order to be reunited. This movie has been knocking about looking for distribution for ages. Initially, nobody in the US wanted it until the explicit gay sexual content was toned down. That happened, then there were legal problems, the distributor had a change of heart etc. It’s already been released in the UK, where most critics found it to be offbeat, funny and daring in a good way, with a strong performance by Carrey. My question is, who is saying “sleep ever” at 1:28 in the trailer, cause it sure isn’t Ewan MacGregor.
How Do You Know
Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson
Director: James L. Brooks
A romantic comedy centred on a former athlete (Witherspoon) who’s feeling a bit past her prime at 27 and finds herself in the middle of a love triangle, between a corporate guy in crisis (Rudd) and her current, baseball-playing beau (Wilson). ‘Ol Jack Nicholson in the mix too, in real life she’d surely choose him. James L. Brooks (The Simpsons, As Good as it Gets) is a great romantic-comedy director, so expect this to be a mature, well-observed piece of entertainment.
