Welcome to the second installment of Movie Media Moment, your place to find fresh, and recently fresh, and maybe not so fresh movie trailers, images, and posters. This week has some stuff that will excite some and bore others, plus it has the bonus edition of an uber-creepy fan-made video of Poison covering Justin Timberlake!

Music Video: Poison's "Sexyback"

A few weeks back Poison made their first noise on the scene in five years with the release of their covers album Poison'd! It was a mediocre success at returning the name of Poison to the public at large and delivering something that was easier to churn out than an album of original material. The release contained an oddity on some special editions, available at Walmart and I'm not sure where else. The oddity was a cover of Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback." Yes, you read that right, go ahead and read it again to be sure. Okay? Well, some fan decided to make a video of it, the band saw it, and loves it. Below you can check out the rather creepy video for yourself:

Trailer: Shoot 'Em Up

I saw this trailer a while back, and promptly forgot about it. Not sure why, because the movie looks so damn cool. I really hope that it pays off on the bullet ballet fun that is hinted at in the trailer. The story itself doesn't seem like anything all that new — a hit man is after a woman and her child, a good Samaritan gets in the way and a battle breaks out between the two. What really adds promise is that the hit man is Paul Giamatti, the Samaritan is Clive Owen, and the woman is Monica Bellucci. Sounds great. It was written and directed by Michael Davis and this appears to be his potential big break. Take a look at the trailer:

Trailer: Wall-E

The teaser for Pixar's 2008 film made its appearance this past weekend. It is a science fiction themed film that seems to take the lead character's design inspiration from Short Circuit. Now, the trailer does not give us much, but it does feature some interview footage with Andrew Stanton, the director who was also behind Finding Nemo. Before we get to the bit of footage from the new film, we do get a nice camera weave through conceptual drawings of other Pixar hits. It is a nice looking trailer, and I look forward to what the film could be next summer. But don't take my word for it, take a look for yourself:

Trailer: Rising: Blood Hunter

Sebastian Gutierrez, co-screenwriter of Snakes on a Plane, writes and directs this supernatural vampiric thriller starring Lucy Liu. The trailer looks pretty good, promising blood, sex, and violence. Hopefully, it will deliver on that promise. The cast looks pretty good as well — in addition to Liu, Carla Gugino and Michael Chiklis co-star. This is also Mako's final live big screen appearance. Take a look for yourself:
