Welcome back to the Movie Media column featuring trailers, posters, and clips for upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh, and some aren't. However, they all have something in common: for better or worse, they all caught my attention. If there is a poster or trailer you think I should check out, be sure to let me know.

This week's movie goodies include media for a new thriller, a surreal mind trip, an oft-promoted comedy, a heist flick, a game show, and more!

The Strangers - Trailer

The official US trailer is here, and it looks pretty good. It is a home invasion story, more realistic than Funny Games and a bit more personal than Vacancy (I know, not a home invasion, but tonally related). It stars Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a young married couple who become the targets of a group of masked individuals. I think the most disturbing element is the answer that Tyler receives when asking why they were targeted. It is written and directed by first-timer Bryan Bertino.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Stills, Trailer

If I said I was not looking forward to this movie, I'd be lying. It is an Apatow production, and his touch just works for my comedic tastes, plus it features Kristen Bell, and we can always use more Kristen Bell. It also stars Jason Segel (who also wrote), Mila Kunis, Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Bill Hader, and Jack McBrayer. There has also been no shortage of promo material. Below is the red band trailer and a whole mess of stills:
