Movie Trailer: Bad Lieutenant – Port of Call New Orleans
For those of you that haven’t already seen the early promos for Werner Herzog’s forthcoming Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, it’s well worth having a dig around. The film, a remake of an 1992 Abel Ferrara film, stars Nicolas Cage and looks insane.
I have no idea if this film is going to be any good. On the one hand, it’s Nic Cage. However, I am a firm believer that no actor who carries on getting work as long as Cage has, is capable of producing nothing but the stinkers this man has squeezed out in the past few years. He could well be back on form with this one.
Plus, I mean just watch the trailer, will you? The guy looks as though he might at any second ACTUALLY murder someone’s grandmother, and not just in the film! You’d be an accessory to NOT go and see it!

How do you like them appelles?
Insufferable UK dishrag The Sun manages to do the one thing its critics could not, and in one fell swoop puts a lid on the gutter-politicking over Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s accidental mis-spelling of a soldier’s name on a letter of condolence.
Hopefully now we’ll see an end to the matter, yeah? And the paper? Okay, okay fine, one step at a time…
Movie Trailer: Grown Ups
Following on from the rather good Funny People, 2010 will see the release of Grown Ups, the next Adam Sandler-penned comedy.
With a solid cast of former Saturday Night Live cast members including Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Kevin James and Sandler himself, the film is about five childhood friends who reunite after 30 years apart, following the death of their school basketball coach.
The humour in the trailer looks very much as you’d expect from this cast: a mixture of gross-out, slapstick and deadpan. The only thing missing was a Chris Rock racism skit, but maybe that’ll be in the next trailer.
