Glenn Close has always been a bit mannish. Yes, even when she played the “hot” psychopath in Fatal Attraction.

Harry Potter is gone, but Daniel Radcliffe is still around, and if this new trailer is any indication, he may be around for a while.

In The Woman in Black, Radcliffe stars as a Victorian-era man who moves into an extremely haunted house. That’s the plot, but the marketing team at CBS Films has assembled an absolutely stellar teaser trailer to make it stand out from the rest in the genre.

The first trailer for the horror remake/prequel The Thing is now online. The first thing I noticed: it looks a hell of a lot like the John Carpenter version. The second thing I noticed: it doesn’t look as good as the John Carpenter version. That’s not at all surprising.

Is anyone else looking forward to Captain America: The First Avenger? After Thor, which was good but merely a prelude to something bigger, X-Men: First Class, which was okay but a little disappointing, and Green Lantern, which was… well, it is what it is… Captain America is this year’s last opportunity to deliver a blow-your-socks-off superhero story.

At first glance, it may look like a typical Jason Statham movie. But then you realize Robert De Niro is in it. Oh, and Clive Owen, too. Suddenly, Killer Elite looks just a little bit better.

The first movie trailer for Killer Elite is now online, and it doesn’t look half-bad. The plot involves Jason Statham taking off his shirt and kicking, punching and shooting people, Clive Owen being bad with a nasty mustache and Robert De Niro playing the old mentor who has been kidnapped.
