This, on the other hand, looks great. One Crazy Summer recycled into Power to tha People posturing with low-rider surfing and Imrov Everywhere hijinks. It could quite possibly be the first positive thing to come out of the Occupy movement.

Wow, perhaps that Step Up trailer is deceiving (that is a trailer's job, after all), but some of the spectacle on display there looks like the product of a creative team that actually understands how to stage a musical. In this day and age, talk about a miracle!

Everything that Seth MacFarlane has done since Family Guy has come back on the air after its initial cancellation has been so awful that I'm starting to wonder if he has been replaced by a doppelgänger of some sort. Those first couple of years of Family Guy were pretty darn funny.

Greta Gerwig in Lola Versus

The hyper-magnified "From the studio that brought you..." tag is never a good sign, and this whole trailer looks pretty derivative of every other "I'm a girl in the big city who just can't get my shit together" movie/TV show/album/breakfast cereal that's come out in the last few years, but if anyone can carry a film like this, it's Gerwig.

I actually really liked "Breaking Upwards," with which this film shares a director and co-star (and, from the looks of it, a general sensibility). Zoe Lister-Jones needs to be carrinyg quasi-indie movies tout de suite.

In a more coherent world the tagline would be, "From the director and star of 'Breaking Upwards'" instead of the blandest of the bland tags, "From the studio..." I'd like to see them have some fun with this and run "From the studio that released 'One Hour Photo'" or "From the studio that gambled hard and lost on 'Gentlemen Broncos'".

I don't remember it too well, but I seem to recall One Hour Photo being pretty great - is there something that'd make you bring that up in particular?

I quite enjoyed "One Hour Photo." My point was simply that the "From the studio (or producer) that brought you X" marketing is frequently so arbitrary as to be completely meaningless. While I'm sure "500 Days of Summer" and "Lola Versus" have elements in common (both films star a woman in a major role, and were also both directed by men, so surely fans of the former will love the latter), the marketing smacks of laziness.

EDIT: Also, to more directly answer your question, Fox Searchlight also released "One Hour Photo"; carrying the randomness to its logical extreme, they could pick one of hundreds of unrelated movies from their catalogue to reference in the trailer.

From the studio that brought you Casablanca comes What a Girl Wants.

That's the ticket. "From the studio that brought you Gentleman's Agreement comes Ed O'Neill and Ethan Embry in Dutch."

Ruby Sparks, from the studio AND directors of Little Miss Sunshine.

So are Zoe Kazan and Paul Dano like, a package deal now? They played a couple in Meek's Cutoff, now this film, and they're together in real life.

Yay! Another film I need never bother seeing!

You'll either hate or love this one. Korine seems rather busy lately.

Samsara. Finally. Looks utterly awesome as expected. I cannot wait to see this on the biggest screen possible.

Pixar's latest, Brave, looks like it has a very different tone than anything they've done so far.

Harmless

"It’s the story about a husband and father and his battle with a box of porn that is found in the closet. Once opened, the box of porn begins to torment the family, much like a poltergeist. It’s sort of a social commentary on how pornography can destroy a family."

This Is 40, Judd Apatow's return to Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's characters from Knocked Up.

It's a shame they had to go with "Generic 'Ironic' Indie Film Title #437" when you just know somebody on the team was lobbying for "Porndora's Box."

You gotta hand it to that Rich Praytor, dude managed to put his name on the promo poster no less than four times

Considerably fewer times than Vincent Gallo would have.

Paranormal Activity has given me new ways to hate movies.

Sundance winner and Cannes contender: Beasts of the Southern Wild

Todd Solondz's Dark Horse

Hm... some evidence to back up the rumors of this being a pretty awful film.
