Hey GT's! Hope everyone is having a good week. There's not too many big titles being released this week so I picked a few trailers to showcase and compiled a short list of the rest for you all.
First off!
Bad Lieutenant
Corrupt Det. Terence McDonaugh (Nicolas Cage) -- whose bad habits include pain drugs, reckless sports gambling and accepting sexual bribes -- investigates the murder of five Senegalese illegal immigrants in New Orleans. Co-starring Val Kilmer as McDonaugh's partner, Xzibit as drug supplier Big Fade and Eva Mendes as prostitute Frankie Donnenfield, director Werner Herzog's action drama is a loose update of Abel Ferrara's 1992 film, Bad Lieutenant.
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes Director:Werner Herzog
Storm
As prosecutor Hannah Maynard (Kerry Fox) builds a war crimes case against former Yugoslavian army commander Goran Duric (Drazen Kühn), the key witness's suicide threatens to let the atrocities go unpunished -- unless she unearths new evidence. At the funeral, she meets the victim's sister, Mira (Anamaria Marinca), who harbors the damning secrets Hannah needs for a conviction. But a cover-up in the ranks may stand in the way of justice.
In a desperate bid to save her low-performing sales team from the gallows, harried manager Catherine (Madison Walls) agrees to take advice from Neal (Steven Bauer), a slick, seasoned sales consultant with a knack for sealing deals -- no matter what the subject matter is. In the end, Neal's undeniable gift for gab could be a godsend. But it could also be the catalyst for both his and Catherine's undoing.
Starring:Steven Bauer, Madison Walls Director:James Van Alden
Here's some of the smaller titles.
This insightful documentary showcases the complex, innovative art of ventriloquism, which has delighted audiences worldwide for generations. Along with current favorite Jeff Dunham, the skills of past masters such as Edgar Bergen are explored. Jay Johnson, the quirky son from "Soap," is also featured, as is one of the few female "vents," Lynn Trefzger. As the film attests, "venting," with its ability to be both satirical and tender, is thriving.
Starring:Jeff Dunham, Jay Johnson Director:Bryan W. Simon
When Finnish blacksmith Kai (Tommi Eronen) unlocks a mysterious box, he's whisked back to a previous life in ancient China where he must battle a horrific demon in order to free all of humanity from its enslaving clutches. Meanwhile, Kai fights for the love of female warrior Pin Yu (Jingchu Zhang). Filmmaker Antti-Jussi Annila melds similar tales from Chinese and Finnish mythology in this innovative martial arts epic.
Starring:Tommi Eronen, Markku Peltola Director:Antti-Jussi Annila
