Movie trailer round-up: double De Niro, weddings and Brad in aviators

Filling in for your trailer round-up while you're away counts as the wedding present I forgot to get you, right Matt? Say nothing if you agree.

Crossfire is also known as Freelancers in the US, and is getting a quick cinema release followed by a pretty much immediate DVD release to the three-quid-in-Woolworths market. Which seems a bit weird, given that Robert De Niro and Forest Whitaker are both in it, and they're usually both pretty ... oh, right. 50 Cent.


I can't watch this trailer for Nobody Walks without thinking John Krasinski's going to turn straight to the camera with that knowing look of mock-surprise he always does after Michael Scott does something inappropriate. Also I struggle with the knowledge that he is married to Emily Blunt, which is a serious impediment to my own plans to be married to Emily Blunt. Just have to hire a bigger van and get more gaffer tape, I suppose.


Not content with handing our arses to us at our own bloody Olympics, the Chinese appear to have figured out that making a 3D film doesn't simply consist of getting a cartoon fish to appear to swim towards you every five minutes, or so this trailer for Flying Swords of Dragon Gate suggests. Looks suspiciously like they've actually thought about it in advance, the cheats. Still, I'd like to see them put a man on the moon, am I right? What's that? They're ... they're going to WHAT? (*crushes paper cup*)


A red band trailer for Bachelorette means only one thing: bitches is gettin' sassy and drankin' and shit. Credit to Kirsten Dunst for not showing any signs of bitterness that she only got to make out with the uggo Spider-Man, when she could've been knee-deep in Garfield.


Never having got married, the comic potential of the wedding is lost on me, but I feel sure that it can't possibly justify the number of comedies that use it as a set-up, like The Big Wedding. Tell you one thing that's funny about them, though: you eat at lunchtime but they call it breakfast! Last one I went to, I asked for a bowl of Shreddies - with HILARIOUS consequences.


I can't help but feel like The Paperboy looks like a less than faithful adaptation of the ZX Spectrum classic.


Proper-serious-film-that-actually-looks-good alert: Killing Them Softly is a big heisty heist thing with suitcases full of banknotes and slow-motion shootings and James Gandolfini and everything. Plus Ray Lee Otter playing against type as a nervy mobster guy who could snap at any time.


Finally, here are two Olympics-themed TV spots for stop-motion animation ParaNorman, which I've already seen because I'm a really big deal and I get to go to screenings and stuff. Though obviously once Matt gets back he'll get to go to them instead. Still, he saves his empty popcorn boxes for me and tells me the plot afterwards, then I draw little pictures of the scenes and turn them into flickbooks. He tends to just leave me to it.
