Trailer Tuesday: Mental & Jack the Giant Slayer

Toni Collette back with creators of Murial's Wedding? I'm in. No more need be said except "I am the avenging angel of the perpetually humiliated."

Now, Jack the Giant Slayer isn't a movie that I'd normally clamber see, and the quality of the CGI giants already bothers me, but Ewan McGregor could persuade me to watch almost anything. Plus I rather like Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, Warm Bodies), and Stanley Tucci (Easy A, The Lovely Bones) is a highly underrated actor. 

Trailer Tuesday: How to Grow a Band & More!

What's that you say? You wish it were Trailer Tuesday? Your wish is granted! But don't say I never gave you nothing.

Below please find a trailer for How to Grow a Band, a documentary that chronicles the evolution of The Punch Brothers, a young bluegrass band headed by Chris Thile. It promises to be a fun and interesting insight to the dynamics of a band and the music biz. (That means business, for all you laymen.)

But since I also gave you a documentary last week, and because you have been good, here is a bonus trailer! I don't know a thing about Jesus Henry Christ except for what I witnessed in the trailer. But since it stars Michael Sheen (Wesley Snipes from 30 Rock) and Toni Collette, I'll give it a whirl.  Plus it looks like a charming and smartly funny film by the lovelies who brought us Little Miss Sunshine.

Last minute entry! I heard about Pina (2011) late last night on Facebook thanks to Christina D. She mentioned the soundtrack and I was curious enough to watch the trailer. It's an homage to German choreographer Pina Bausch. It reminds me so much of this acrobatic, dance, theater show called Psy that I saw in London two years ago. Meaning, it looks incredible. So everyone say thank you to Christina.
