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 special edition includes some Thanksgiving-related (duh!) trailers to help get you ready for your annual feast. Hopefully you will enjoy the few that I dug up and are all set to enjoy the day!
Thanksgiving - Phony Trailer
Here is a classic that was never made, Thanksgiving. This was made by director Eli Roth to accompany the Tarantino/Rodriguez Grindhouse experience. It is a trailer for a slasher film that features a killer that strikes on the November holiday. It comes complete with marks, grain, and scratches to help add to the authenticity. I know I would see it if it was made. Oh yes, that is Eli Roth providing the narration.
Pieces of April - Trailer
Back before Katie Holmes joined forces with Tom Cruise and popular opinion turned against her, she was on Dawson's Creek and was a decent young actress. I remember seeing this film and being quite impressed with her performance. Holmes is Katie, a young woman who knows nothing of cooking and needs to prepare a Thanksgiving meal for her family, knowing that everyone does not exactly get along.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - Trailer
It has been forever since I have seen this movie. I seriously need to dig up a copy and spend some time revisiting it. Steve Martin wants to spend a nice Thanksgiving with his family, but the world conspires against him and he ends up spending time with John Candy as they travel across the country. Very funny holiday movie.
