Trailer Watch

Burn After Reading - Coenific, looks like a U-turn from NCFOM back to their Raising Arizona slapstick days
The Mummy 3 - The resurrection of Brendon Fraisure in CGI B-movies is a bad, bad idea. No Rachel Weisz, kid ages two decades or so in a few years, franchise that one one really remembers. Can't see this working out.
The Clone Wars - CGI somewhere between Kung Fu Panda and the dancing baby viral video. Bad Lucas.
Australia - Don't see much of Luhrman's hyper kinetic filming so no real draw.
Hancock - Looks good, nice to see some original superhero IP (ahem, Incredible Hulk)
Tropic Thunder - Trailer not too funny, but Ben Stiller has a knack for cult comedies.
Ice Age 3 - Good teaser, crazy Looney Toonesque squirrel is the only memorable thing about those movies, though this one adds dinosaurs? What are we teaching today's keeds?
In other news, Don't Mess with the Zohan intrigues me. Can Sandler make a good satire? Probably not.
