Week Ending May 4

There isn't much this week to report. We have only six new trailers, two new posters, a new release date and two posters that are now available to purchase. This is a light week and there's nothing new from 2009. Though, the new trailers for Indiana Jones and The Dark Knight (not yet available to link, and thus no reviews) attached to Iron Man this weekend, were exceptionally good. Though, the ones for Prince Caspian and Step Brothers were anything but interesting.

On to the updates. Another new date for Amusement, which just picked up the amorphous Holiday 2008 date; you can now buy the posters for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Mongol. There are new posters up for Kung Fu Panda and Tropic Thunder (two in fact); the new trailers up are for the Marvel Incredible Hulk, the female buddy pic Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, self-help comedy Finding Amanda, period drama Brideshead Revisited, injury revenge drama The Take and fish out of water satire Towelhead.

Week Ending April 27

Our last update for April finds itself relatively limited. We have no new posters, release dates or other major changes. All we have are nine new trailers, two for films from next year.

Starting off with our present year, we have trailers up now for high-schoolers-experiencing-frat-life comedy College, Buddhist-spiritualism-in-prisoners documentary The Dhamma Brothers, Christ-has-a-miraculous-face-on-depressed-guy's-house comedy Henry Poole Is Here, Playboy-Bunny-trying-to-make-nerdy-girls'-lives-better comedy The House Bunny, waiter-finding-Nazi-rule-a-destructive-influence-on-his-career dramedy I Served the King of England, video-tape-of-zombies-in-quarantined-building horror flick Quarantine and girl-must-find-love-while-caring-for-family drama Tuya's Marriage.

And rounding out this update, for 2009, we have Disney Nature's first documentary following three groups of creatures for one year (a polar bear family, a whale family and an elephant family) called simply Earth and the latest Frank Miller stylized comic book movie The Spirit.

-Wesley Lovell (April 27, 2008)

Week Ending April 20

As April drags on, we earn another 2009 preview and several more for 2008.

The 2009 preview is yet another Ice Age. This one is subtitled: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

For 2008, the following new trailers have arrived: Dario Argento horror film Mother of Tears, Julianne Moore drama Savage Grace, two new trailers for summer blockbuster hopeful Speed Racer, youth comedy The Wackness, war profiteering comedy War, Inc., children-in-jeopardy drama The Children of Huang Shi, documentary Glass, a Portrait of Philip in 12 Parts and genre drug/violence flick Loaded.

For posters, we have no ones for Chaos Theory, Fugitive Pieces, Iron Man and Water Lilies. And rounding out this week's updates, we have another release date change for Midnight Meat Train.

-Wesley Lovell (April 20, 2008)

Week Ending April 13

Taking us farther into April, we have a number of new trailers and a few new posters to present this week.

Ten trailers came out this week, one of which is for a film that has now ben pushed to early 2009. United Artists moved studio topper Tom Cruise's Valkyrie into February of 2009, right out of the Oscar race and into likely oblivion while they supposedly work on re-shoots.

For 2008, we received trailers for post-apocalyptic feature Blindness, Indian love story Brick Lane, elderly love story Elsa & Fred, mistaken identity romantic comedy Falling for Grace, prison piano prodigy plotter Four Minutes, high schooler documentary American Teen, obnoxious neighbor thriller Lakeview Terrace, space-bound primate cartoon Space Chimps and relationship comedy Then She Found Me.

On the poster front, we have a colorful new poster for the storytelling fantasy The Fall, Pollyanna-style girl detective feature Kit Kittredge, a poster for the sequel to the popular Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and one for this weekend's of Smart People.

That's it for this week. Enjoy them while you can.

-Wesley Lovell (April 13, 2008)

Week Ending April 6

For the week ending April 6, we have a smattering of new updates.

Sex and Death 101 has an updated release date, Blindsight, Chapter 27, The Flight of the Red Balloon and Shotgun Stories each feature new posters.

On the trailer front, there are eight new ones. Hellboy II is the only film to feature a second trailer, while the others are all new. There's the art world serial killer flick Anamorph, the Nic Cage assassin film Bangkok Dangerous, surf social club documentary Bra Boys, the life-affirming romance Jack and Jill vs. the World, lovable loser romantic comedy Meet Bill, situational comedy Pineapple Express and the titularly exlanatory Zombie Strippers.

I expect within the coming weeks to have more films that are releasing in the summer, but a precise timeframe is unavailable.

-Wesley Lovell (April 6, 2008)

Week Ending March 30

It was a much slower week, so I'll be done fairly quickly with my recap of what's in this update.

We have a new poster for Doomsday, a release date elimination for Midnight Meat Train and two new posters available for purchase for Made of Honor and Street Kings.

As for new trailers, we have modern noir thriller Deception, Murphy-in-Murphy comedy Meet Dave, Kazakhstani war epic Mongol, martial arts thriller Redbelt, Ellen Page search feature The Tracey Fragments and synchronized swimmer coming-of-age story Water Lilies.

That's really all there is. Enjoy the slow weekend.

-Wesley Lovell (March 30, 2008)

Week Ending March 23

Last weekend, I was horribly sick and didn't feel like doing anything, let alone posting the weekly update. So, I saved them all for this week. I don't know if that was a mistake, but it has left me with almost thirty film pages to update.

Only seven of the updates were unrelated to trailers including a new release date for The Wackness, the ability to buy the poster for Semi-Pro and new posters up for Drillbit Taylor, Made of Honor, Meet the Browns, Prom Night and Shutter.

However, the remainder of the twenty-nine updates are new trailers. Twenty-two preview pages were updated as a result. Seven are new trailers added to existing previews: Get Smart put forth a new version of its first non-teaser trailer, The Life Before Her Eyes decided to reveal more about its plot in its second trailer, Mamma Mia! become something watchable in its second, Nim's Island had the alternate effect with its new jumbled preview, Speed Racer got more exciting, as did Wanted and the first full-length trailer for Wall-E also became my favorite trailer of the year to date.

Then there are the new previews: John Lennon assassination pic Chapter 27, poker card sharp pic Deal, stylish fantasy The Fall, narrative drama Fugitive Pieces, super hero reboot The Incredible Hulk, coming of age story Mister Foe, celebrity impersonator drama Mister Lonely, Wong Kar Wai fest favorite My Blueberry Nights, Italian family drama My Brother Is an Only Child, Hatfield-McCoy-style feuding drama Shotgun Stories, Abu Gharib documentary Standard Operating Procedure, stalking horror film The Strangers, family surfer documentary Surfwise, war movie comedy Tropic Thunder, and madcap accidental death comedy Who's Your Monkey.

If that's not enough, I'll be back in a week to give you even more.

-Wesley Lovell (March 23, 2008)

Week Ending March 9

And I thought last week was abysmally quiet. We have only four new trailers this week. And that's it. There's nothing more. Just four new trailers.

The first trailer is also the first non-teaser for the film Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. in a role that seems tailor-made for him.

Following that up is a documentary about modern zombies, real or imagined and supposedly their fight to gain acceptance. The Trailer for American Zombie doesn't do a whole hell of a lot to tell us what it's about.

Also up on the trailer circuit is a Robert De Niro/Al Pacino starrer about cops who investigate the crimes they commit. Of course, the crimes are of those who the law cannot touch, but it's still vigilante justice. Righteous Kill will be at maximum a moderate hit, but most likely a box office loser.

Lastly, we have a trailer for a film called The Flight of the Red Balloon supposedly about the impact the famed Red Balloon has as its flies over a young boy with parental relationship issues. It certainly looks like it could be socialogically interesting.

And that's it. Only four trailers makes for a short week of updates. Enjoy the extra time to yourself!

-Wesley Lovell (March 9, 2008)

Week Ending March 1

A thankfully limited week for new posters, trailers and the like. We have exactly a dozen changes to go over, none of them from previous or future years. Among those are four films with release date changes, two with new trailers and the remaining six with new trailers.

The date changes are largely only week shifts, but all of these movies have found new homes: The Accidental Husband, Amusement, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery and Redbelt. New posters were released for boxing comedy The Hammer and humor documentary Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?.

For new trailers, we have two for films for which we've already seen teasers. Sex and the City based on the HBO TV series and Get Smart based on the 60s spy humor series. The other four are brand new, but like the aforementioned films, hardly worth noticing. Two new documentaries are up. One is about the 70s singing legend Meat Loaf, called Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise, and the other is about the hysteria surrounding the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik, entitled Sputnik Mania. The remaining two are for summer mass audience comedies. Mike Myers is back, now as a hippy, in The Love Guru and Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly team up again for their sibling rivalry/friendship comedy Step Brothers.

-Wesley Lovell (March 1, 2008)

Week Ending February 24

It's time for another update. We had a few less updates this week, but a lot of new posters became available to purchase. Last year's The Bucket List has just such an update as do the following 2008 features: Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who, 88 Minutes (my question is why??), Never Back Down, Sex and Death 101 and Teeth.

On the new posters front, aside from the one for The Bucket List, there's a "cassette tape" imagine for the new film The Wackness. While there aren't any other new posters individually, there are some posted along with new films and new trailers.

As for the new trailers, we have blind rock climbing documentary Blindsight, niche actioner Boarding Gate, M. Night Shyamalan's latest disaster The Happening, French romance musical Love Songs, Spanish-language love story Lovesickness, breakdancing docu Planet B-Boy, extreme fighting melodrama Redbelt, teen relationship sequel The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and life-affirming drama The Visitor.

The only other updates this week are new release dates for Pathology and Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden. Until next week, enjoy.

-Wesley Lovell (February 24, 2008)

Week Ending February 17

The updates have moved to Sunday and will likely stay there for some time. My Saturdays have been busier than usual, as have my weeknights, so I'm shifting the official Previews update day as Sunday.

This week we have more than a dozen changes. First up is the shift of Star Trek XI into 2009, which is based on a decision by the studios to launch it near Memorial Day next year. There's also a new poster up for The Savages in the 2007, which you can also buy.

The rest of the changes, as expected, are in the 2008 area. The Duchess and When Did You Last See Your Father? both have new release dates while Horton Hears a Who has had a simple title change to include Dr. Seuss'. There are nine new posters, three alone for The Dark Knight, all of which you can now purchase. Other new posters available for purchase are for the films Rambo, The Spiderwick Chronicles and 21. New posters not also available for purchase are for the films Priceless, Summer Palace and Superhero Movie.

We have seven new trailers this week including the debut of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Also new in trailers: boxing comedy The Hammer, martial arts fantasy film CJ7, George A. Romero's latest zombie adventure Diary of the Dead, a new trailer for the other martial arts fantasy film The Forbidden Kingdom, the French thriller Roman de Gare and the cop thriller Street Kings.

Week Ending January 12

Studios didn't wait long before cramming my site with new trailers. A dizzying 20 new changes have found their way into this week's update. To cap it all off, I've completed my first 2007 Year in Preview looking back at the Ten Best and Worst Trailers and Posters of 2007. You can find that article in the 2007 section along with the ability to buy a poster for Beowulf if you really care.

As for the 19 2008 updates, eleven are for new trailers, most idiotic comedies or lame romantic comedies. The Accidental Husband, Caramel, Day Zero, He Was a Quiet Man, The Hottie and the Nottie, Never Back Down, Trailer Park Boys, Wanted and Witless Protection are entirely new while new trailers were added for the colon-ates The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery.

Week Ending January 5

2007 continues to wind down. Within the next week or two, I will be putting together my annual retrospective of 2007's best and worst movie trailers and posters. Once this goes up, I will stop posting the updates on the 2007 page (the upper section will be gone. Instead, I will just post any new changes in this update section. For this week, 2007's only new addition is a second poster for Juno.

2008, however, saw several changes. Now that the studios are done with the holidays, 2008 films should be coming more frequently. This week is pretty much all about the boys. We have Hellboy II, Planet B-Boy, Run, Fat Boy, Run, and a film about a boy Billy the Kid. There is also a new trailer for The Signal and a new poster for 21. Three films have shifts in release date. 27 Dresses only moves back a week. Be Kind Rewind finds itsfinds itself pushed back another month and The Pughkeepsie Tapes move across most of the year and wind up in the Holiday 2008 berth.

After last week's uber-hectic schedule, this week has been virtually dead. Only one new update this week: a new teaser for Wall-E. Enjoy the lack of updates as I will by doing something fun (or that you've been putting off too long).

-Wesley Lovell (December 29, 2007)

Week Ending December 22

What a hectic week for trailers and posters. There are more than two dozen changes this week. And because of that and a more-hectic-than-expected week, I won't be able to post new reviews.

2007 saw a burst of new activity this week. We start off with five new trailers, three from films we haven't yet seen. The Woody Harrelson political escort flick The Walker, Bob Marley documentary Africa Unite and Dominican Republic sugar docu The Price of Sugar. I also posted two new reviews for films I'd already previewed: Enchanted and Reservation Road.

For 2008, we have three new trailers: Israel's controversial (at least in terms of its wins at the Isreali Academy Awards and its ineligibility for the Academy Awards) Egyptian band comedy The Band's Visit, the French foreign language film The Duchess of Langeais and the Colin Farrel hideout comedy In Bruges. Mad Money finally has a poster and both Funny Games and Penelope (formerly a 2007 release) have new release dates.

-Wesley Lovell (December 8, 2007)

Week Ending December 1

We have a much larger selection of updates this week. Let's start with 2008 and work our way back to what remains of the current year.

Six new trailers spawn for 2008 releases everywhere from January flicks through Christmas ones. Fool's Gold is the latest Matthew McConaughey romantic comedy about he and his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kate Hudson and their pitfalls as he tries to search for treasure on the bottom of the sea. Into the Blue meets Sahara. Follow that up with the Palme d'Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and you have a very wide array of films to choose. Also featuring new trailers are the Martin Lawrence comedy College Road Trip featuring an unimpressed grown-up Raven Symone, the latest drudgery in the step movement How She Move, street violence film Outlaw starring Bob Hoskins and Sean Bean, and Untraceable with Diane Lane on the trail of a cyber killer.

The Counterfeiters and Midnight Meat Train finally get release dates in 2008 while I update a previously unrecognized error on the page for Funny Games.

For 2007, there's a new trailer for Youth Without Youth which strips away much of the enigma that is Francis Ford Coppola's next hit-or-miss film, Dirty Laundry about a guy who learns that he somehow fathered a child and doesn't have room in his life for him, Christopher Plummer and M. Emmet Walsh with their Oscar-baity performances in Man in the Chair, and a full length trailer of Spanish horror film The Orphanage.

Rounding out the 2007 update we find a new poster for Sweeney Todd, the ability now to purchase the poster for Rails & Ties, and a 4-day advanced shift in the release date for Charlie Wilson's War.

As 2007 comes to a close, the new 2007 trailers will dwindle and the 2008's will roll in left and right. 2007 has two new updates this week. Steep about big mountain skiers and Look about stories caught on surveillance cameras cap out the week.

For 2008, we have new trailers for the sequel to City of God called City of Men, horror film Amusement and wildlife documentarian comedy Strange Wilderness.

-Wesley Lovell (November 24, 2007)

Week Ending November 17

This has been the slowest week in a long time and boy is it a miracle! With National Novel Writing Month in full swing and me being behind by over 4,000 words, the extra time is truly wonderful to have.

For this week's update, we have four new trailers, no new posters, a release date change and a new poster available for purchase.

The new trailers are for the action film Revolver (2007) starring Jason Statham, The Great Debaters (2007) starring Denzel Washington as a debate teacher who gets his all-black debate club to debate an all-white one, a film about Ugandan school students competing for a top musical prize in War/Dance (2007) and Michael Haneke's remake of his own film Funny Games (2008) about a family forced to perform sadistics acts on one another.

Vantage Point (2008) has a week-later release date and Darfur Now's (2007) poster is now available for purchase.

-Wesley Lovell (November 10, 2007)

Week Ending November 3

We have a relatively short week with only FOUR, yes four new trailers. Several new posters showed up courtesy of allposters.com and thus you can now also buy many of those. Below, you'll find a list of changes.

2008 had two new entries including the new trailer for the sci-fi flick Jumper, which looks an awful lot like a steal of ideas from X-Men's Nightcrawler. The first poster for the film Vantage Point has been revealed and it's quite impressive.

On the 2007 side, we have trailers for the film based on Upton Sinclair's sprawling saga Oil! There Will Be Blood features a performance from Daniel Day Lewis that's sure to earn him another Oscar nomination. What Would Jesus Buy? is a hysterical new pseudo-documentary from Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me). This time, he takes on the over-commercialized Christmas shopping season. And finally, there's the David Alan Basche (yeah, most people don't know who he is, so don't feel bad if you don't) film I'll Believe You about a radio talk show host who finds himself involved in a series of events that call into question his santiy just because he requested his listeners phone him with any outrageous claim (aliens, loch ness monster, big foot, etc.) and that he'd believe them.

In 2007 posters, we have Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Protagonist and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Not adding new posters, but now featuring Purchase links are the films P2 and Saw IV, the latter of which has all three posters now available.

It's a small week, so it's been nice to get things done a little faster than usual. Enjoy the brief respite.

As we begin our approach to the holiday season, there are two types of films that will be making their mark: The first are Oscar contenders. This week, we get new trailers and premiere trailers for a number of films with the potential for Oscar-nominated pedigree: several actors (and actress Cate Blanchett) playing Bob Dylan in I'm Not There, the documentary Darfur Now, Iraq war documentary Meeting Resistance, and the biography of a folk artist in Pete Seeger: The Power of Song.

After months of speculation, the first trailer for the big screen adaptation of one of the greatest Broadway musicals in history, Sweeney Todd, is finally here.

There isn't a lot to be excited about this week. With mostly small film trailers and nothing from 2008, it just doesn't feel like an update. But here it is nonetheless.

This week, we have only a handful of new films and a few new trailers to present. For 2008, we have the latest comic-to-screen adaptation, the Robert Downey Jr. starrer Iron Man and another Asian importa-remake with One Missed Call.

For 2007, we have a number of wanna-be Oscar contenders and one for-certain one. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman team up for The Bucket List about a pair of aging hospital roommates who decide to do everything they ever dreamed of doing before they died. Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden come together for Rails & Ties a film about a boy whose mother is killed in a train-car accident and the couple who try to give him happiness while repairing their own destructing relationship. Francis Ford Coppola's latest film Youth Without Youth and a zen cooking documentary: How to Cook Your Life.

But the one film everyone will be talking about is Atonement. Based on a celebrated novel, it's already earning early Oscar buzz for Picture, Actor and Actress among other prizes. It could be big and the trailer certainly promises such.

Week Ending September 8

We had a slower week than normal with fewer than a dozen updates to be made. Only a handful of new trailers for 2007 and 2008 came through along with one date change and a few new posters.

Previews Section

This area of my website will continue to be devoted to new trailers and posters. In addition, the Film Release Schedule will be finding its new home right here featuring links to the preview pages that already exist.

Formerly just called trailers, I felt the name Previews seemed more appropriate and with the release schedule, the appropriateness just flows in abundance.

Poster Page Update & Links

I have modified the posters page where you can purchase many of this year's posters from allposters.com. I've also given you a link below to the main section for trailers. You can also access both of these links in the left navigation column of this page.

Welcome to The Oscar Guy's Trailer and Poster Previews

This section will be devoted to previewing upcoming theatrical releases based on their trailers and posters. Each title will be accompanied by a number of pieces of content.

Trailer - I'll provide a link to the trailer so you can watch it yourself.

Poster - You'll get a link to where you can purchase the poster for the film, which will also allow you to look closer at the poster.

Review - I'll present a capsule review of the trailer and the poster along with a letter grade.

Oscar Prospects - We'll look forward at the film's future for Oscar recognition.

Link to Official Review - If I decide to review the film, you'll get a link to the film and a quick snippet of what I think of the film. This may be updated long before I write a full-length review.

With all of these changes, I hope you find something that piques your interest. I'll be updating about once a week. While this update is likely to occur presently on Tuesdays, I may be shifting the update to Saturdays if I should need to.

To get started, just click on the link to the left to take you to the correct year.
