Less new buzz this week now that the big fall festivals are over. Eagerly awaiting trailers for CROSSING OVER, THE WRESTLER and THE ROAD. Two buzzed about films could be losing steam in a week. The #1 film is charging ahead full speed to the top slots of my fall must see list. Tell me what you think.
Losing Steam
HOUNDDOG is dead on arrival.
Getting Buzzed
7) Synecdoche, New York (Oct. 24)
The full trailer has turned the buzz around for me, but for how long?
6) Four Christmases (Nov. 26)
Trailer is now here. Could be one of the obligatory "my family is crazy" holiday films, but stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon have me intrigued. Could be losing steam fast.
5) The Wrestler (Dec. 19)
It's coming Dec. 19th!
4) Rachel Getting Married (Oct. 3)
New film clip highlights the film's Altman-like qualities. Has me more interested than the trailer did. Post Venice buzz doesn't hurt either.
3) Doubt (Dec. 12)
No doubt the trailer has me intrigued about this nun versus priest drama. What a cast — Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Meryl Streep!
2) Changeling (Oct. 24)
The trailer only makes it more interesting. Jolie looks dynamic.
1) Revolutionary Road (Dec. 26)
The Entertainment Tonight sneak peak is online, but for how long? This looks awesome. Is Mary Hart really going to talk over the trailer? I want to throw a Dot at my computer screen. Need untainted trailer now! DiCaprio and Winslet together again in what appears to be a real adult drama. Memories of TITANIC fading. World regaining alignment.
