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 posters, stills, and trailers for a few upcoming summer hits, a big action film for the fall, a couple of DVD releases, an upcoming horror flick, and more!

Hamlet 2 - Stills

Hamlet 2 is coming this summer, and it looks pretty darn funny. Steve Coogan stars as a high school theater teacher who must write an original show to save the program. He comes up with a sequel to the great Shakespeare play, only a little more irreverent in nature. Below are some new stills for the film.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - Poster

The latest poster for this sequel is cool and lame at the same time. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but it screams "Hollywood!" and "Badass!" at the same time.

Mirrors - Poster, Trailer

Not sure what I think about this one yet. The trailer has a couple of creepy moments and the poster is a bit off, but it also looks like another PG-13 pseudo-horror based around jump scares. However, it is directed by Alexandre Aja and he was involved with High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, and P2, so that helps and offers a little bit of hope. Kiefer Sutherland is also the star, so it will be interesting to see Jack Bauer in a haunted house.
