Cherry Blossoms.  Lost in Translation only older, sadder and 100% more German.

Alien Trespass.  The kind of movie your parents saw at the drive-in before spending an hour up at the point.

And don’t pretend your parents never went to the point.

The Velveteen Rabbit.  What looks like a made-for-TV version of the much-beloved tale that somehow made it onto the big screen.

Big Man Japan.  The animation in the trailer is sketchy, but the plot summary is the best of the night.

“A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisato’s job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And Daisato has his own problems -an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits.”

Brilliant.

American Violet.  Woman fights for family and self when accused of involvement in drugs.  Rich vs. poor.  Custody battles.  A perfectly boring trailer tells the whole story.

And finally, the new Transformers trailer.  Still no sign of Soundwave though.
