My Upcoming Trailers

I've always thought Woody Allen is at his best when the characters are just over-the-top enough without crossing the fine line of wacky silliness (see 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'). I'm sad to say Allen's latest, Whatever Works does not look so good. It seems like it's a film FILLED with crazy characters and only connection to the audience being Larry David playing what is essentially his character from 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. We shall see...

Another highly anticipated summer flick is Julie & Julia marking Meryl Streep's second collaboration with both Stanley Tucci (LOVE these two together) and Amy Adams (though doesn't share a scene together). Judging from the trailer, it seems like it's part 'Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood', part 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and part 'Ratatouille'. Sounds fun enough for me. Also, are they seriously going to go through with cutting Meryl Streep's role in this to a supporting one? (gasp!)
