We have a new trailer for Hot Fuzz! This one is a bit longer, gives a much better overview of the movie, and promises plenty of off the wall action. Not only do we get the return of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Bill Nighy, all of whom were in Shaun of the Dead... but Jim Broadbent (_Chronicles of Narnia_) and Paddy Considine (_In America_) as well! Can’t wait to see another great British comedy, bloody good fun!

From the same distribution company (Working Title Films), we have Smoking Aces. While this could easily be similar to last years’ Domino (and judging from the trailer, this may not be too far off), I’m hoping for the best. Some cool people producing, and while yes, Afleck is in it, perhaps it can still be fun? I love the concept of battling hit men (and women), but if craziness isn’t your style, you might want to walk on.

The Architect seems to be a very interesting movie. How often do we get to see strong character pieces revolving around government housing? Not to mention, it involves an architect. I really hope this film can rise above political messages and stand as a compelling, emotional, and less encumbered story. There’s a lot of potential here and hate to see it weighed down by too many messages. Just a couple would be great.

Closing this weeks latest trailers would be Mimzy, billed as a “Family Sci-Fi” movie. I’m really not sure how that works, since it seems more along the lines of, say, Poltergeist. Yeah, there are kids, but it starts off with a palm reader, and ends with “This is Mimzy, she’s my teacher… She teaches me everything.” I’m thoroughly creeped out now.
