A Closer Look at the Movies of 2006

Just went through Apple's movie trailer database and unearthed some promising upcoming films. Among my favorites is the trailer for Thank You For Smoking, a satire about the tobacco industry. Also of interest is American Dreamz, another vicious satire of both the President and reality television. One of the more cryptic entries is the Kubrick-esque trailer for Bubble, a new film by Steven Soderbergh about the murder of a doll factory employee. Of course, the teaser trailer for Mel Gibson's new film Apocalypto looks interesting. Also worth mentioning is Marie Antoinette, the new film by Sofia Coppola starring Kirsten Dunst in the title role, along with Jason Schwartzman.

And then there's the trailers for upcoming computer animated features: DreamWorks is turning the popular comic strip Over the Hedge into a movie, The Weinstein Company is going to take a stab at fairytales a la Shrek with their Red Riding Hood parody Hoodwinked, and Nickelodeon is jumping on the CGI bandwagon with their film Barnyard. And then, of course, there's Cars, which will undoubtedly crush the competition because Pixar is God and you dare not challenge them!

If you've seen an interesting movie trailer recently, post a link to it in the comments! I'm always on the lookout for interesting and bizarre new films!
