Just in time for the holidays, director Nancy Meyers (The Parent Trap, The Holiday) gives us the horribly-titled, It's Complicated, a comedy drama about a divorced woman (Meryl Streep)and her relationship with her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) and her architect (Steve Martin). It looks cute and girly if not exactly hilarious. It's nice to see Meryl, my favorite actress, in one of these more normal roles. She's just playing a regular woman not a zany nun or a scary magazine editor. From the preview it looks like Streep will be organic and warm in this role. It's Complicated could be the title for practically any movie, but besides that the movie looks like cuddly holiday entertainment.
This is the trailer for New York, I Love You, an anthology movie featuring short films by different directors about New York. It's a companion piece to Paris, Je T'aime. The trailer was pretty much tailor-made for me to love. It uses Phoenix's rapturous, infinite-feeling song 1901 perfectly, and New York is one of my favorite places in the world. The cast is huge featuring Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Rachel Bilson, Julie Christie, Shia Laboeuf, Orlando Bloom, and Bradley Cooper to name a few. I can't wait.
The September Issue is a documentary about Vogue editor Anna Wintour and how the magazine puts together one of their trendsetting, very heavy September issues. I'm so excited to see this. It looks fascinating and fluffy.
Here's the trailer for Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's latest movie, Broken Embraces, starring the stunning Penelope Cruz. It will be released here in the fall. The plot revolves around a blind writer. Cruz looks gorgeous in the trailer, and I love seeing her in anything especially since she's been getting better roles in English features in the past couple years. Also, I recently got into Almodovar Can't wait!

Oh My Gosh
The trailer for the movie version of the musical based on Fellini's movie 8 1/2 (mouthful) entitled NINE arrived the other day. The cast of this movie is absolutely amazing: Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench (rocking a bob), Kate Hudson (looking gorgeous), Sophia Loren's cheekbones (and the rest of her), Nicole Kidman, and Fergie Ferg (looking a little scary). Rob Marshall who did a great job with Chicago back in 2002 directs, and I have faith in him. The staging looks similar to that of Chicago's where some of the numbers occurred on stages. The song used in the trailer is fantastic, big, and dramatic as hell. Judi Dench closes and begins the trailer with some witty lines. Daniel Day-Lewis could actually be good in this role. I have mixed feelings about him, but he looks like he's having fun. Penelope looks stunning as usual and that dance with the huge curtain: sexy as hell. Marion is a radiant being who I adore. Kate Hudson (the most surprising member of the cast) looks like she's fitting in nicely. Even if this movie is all about the outfits and fierce women in it who cares? Deeves are the best!

Trailer Time
A few trailers today:
-Synecdoche, New York: Philip Seymour Hoffman's new movie which was written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, who wrote Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, looks really, really good. I love Hoffman and will watch him in anything. This movie is about a theater director who wants to do a play about New York City life, and build a replica of the city, and set the play in the replica. He needs loads of extras, his wife has just left him, and he has a medical condition. The movie is also about the women in his life. Sounds mind-boggling. It is, in a wonderful, dreamy way. The cast is out of this world: Catherine Keener (who played Harper Lee alongside Hoffman in Capote), Michelle Williams (genius actress who starred in Brokeback Mountain), Samantha Morton (who has been in tons of things-Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown, Minority Report-bottom line: she is wonderful), Dianne Weist (I love her. She is amazing.), Hope Davis (another love of mine. She is good in anything.), and Jennifer Jason Leigh (who was really good in last year's Margot at the Wedding). Well enough chatter. Here's the trailer:
-Doubt: The trailer for John Patrich Shanley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play turned film, Doubt, has arrived. It looks so friggin' good. Meryl is a good choice for the lead role, and she rocks that bonnet like it's no one's business. Amy Adams is also in it along with Mr. Hoffman (again). What a cast! This looks intense, and the music is very effective. Meryl will mess you up if you cross her (in this trailer at least). Ahh so good.
-Milk: Director Gus Van Sant gives us Milk, about the first gay man to be elected to a public office in America (San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1977), Harvey Milk, played by Sean Penn. This movie looks very interesting, and is a very different role for Sean Penn. James Franco (fox alert), Emile Hirsch (more of a subtle fox), Diego Luna (haha love him), and that kid from High School Musical who played Sharpay's brother (I'm sure Disney is loving that he is in this movie) also star. It looks so good, and I love the music in the trailer.
-Changeling: Clint Eastwood's latest film stars the luscious-lipped Angelina Jolie as a California mom in late 20's LA whose son goes missing, and then is returned to him. The thing is: the kid's not her son. This looks intense and possibly disturbing. Angelina Jolie changes her voice a little in the first scene of the trailer which is beautiful with the black umbrellas and rain, and she doesn't sound like Angelina Jolie at all, much more timid. She looks like she will be superb in this movie. John Malkovich, who just came off a hilarious turn in Burn After Reading, also stars along with The Office employee and Oscar nominee, Amy Ryan, and uber fox, Jeffrey Donovan, who stars on USA's sunny spy series, Burn Notice. I'm looking forward to this one.
