Transsiberian - Stills, Trailer
I first heard about this film when it started the festival circuit. Now, I did not hear much aside from people liking it. This trailer is the first I have gotten to see of it, and I like what I see. The film stars Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer, Kate Mara, Eduardo Noriega, and Ben Kingsley. It is a thriller that involves American tourists making friends with some fellow travelers who are not who they seem to be.
Elegy - Stills, Trailer
This film looks like it could be interesting. It is the story of an aging man who has spent his life jumping from one relationship to the next, but then meets an intriguing young woman who causes him to reevaluate everything. At least, that is what I get from the trailer anyway. The cast includes Ben Kingsley, Penelope Cruz, Dennis Hopper, Peter Saarsgarde, and Patricia Clarkson.
The Express - Stills, Trailer
The Express is a new inspirational sports drama that I am sure will follow the formula to the letter, but also provide a positive and uplifting experience. When I see the trailer, I am reminded of The Great Debaters and Glory Road. It is the story of Ernie Davis, a Syracuse football player who became the first black man to win the Heisman trophy. Rob Brown stars as Davis and Dennis Quaid plays the team's coach.

My fear with The Dark Knight is that it's almost being over-promoted online. I hope all of this saturation doesn't set unrealistic expectations.
