Trailer Report: The Assassination of Jesse James, Charlie Wilson's War

We went to one of Milwaukee's more unique theaters, The Rosebud, to see American Gangster, and saw only two trailers. But they were good ones.

Hey, I'm seeing this tonight! We have these passes for $4 at Marcus Theaters that we got a few weeks ago for free when we bought tickets. At first I was like "hey, cool!" but then I realized they were only good from November 5th through the 8th, and that all new releases are "no pass." (So no Bee Movie just yet). But there's a huge, 24 screen behemoth all the way on the south edge of the area, and it gets the occasional prestige picture to fill up the space. So it all worked out.

Anyway, this looks awesome, especially the Roger Deakins camera-work. And it marks the third movie in a row, after Gangster and Lust, Caution, that's over two and a half hours long. Sitting power!

This also looks pretty good, and I've always been a fan of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin... I even fooled myself into thinking "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" was awesome for weeks longer than anyone else.

And Phillip Seymour Hoffman can really pull of that mustache.
