Rate-a-Trailer: Leo and Russell Tussle in Body of Lies

Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe are having the world's longest, most heated phone conversation all the way through the al-Qaida/spy thriller Body of Lies. This way intense trailer just landed online, and the Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) flick looks complex and exciting enough—but can these two guys just get off the phone already and pay attention to the terrorists or whatever?

What do you think? Is this one war-on-terror flick too many, or is that an Oscar-caliber beard on Leo's face? Sound off in the comments!

Rate-a-Trailer: Greatest Chihuahua Movie of All Time

So a bunch of YouTubers are weirded out by the teaser for Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which features wee Aztec canines singing DJ Bobo’s chart-topping (well, in Europe) single aptly titled “Chihuahua.” But us? No way, we adore it!

Now that the all-plot, no-singing (aw, we miss it!) trailer is finally out, we’d like to ask everyone to reconsider this Chihuahua. It’s clearly a harrowing tale about a spoiled Chihuahua—voiced by Drew Barrymore—who must overcome her vanity and prejudice to not only find her way home but also find herself and true love.

OK, it’s probably not that moving, but it does feature a rat-and-iguana comedy duo. Plus, George Lopez’s Papi is the cutest Chihuahua we’ve seen around. (And, living in the epicenter of the spoiled Chihuahua crisis, we've seen plenty.)

Give the trailer a go, and let us know what you think in the comments. But please, hold onto your tacos!

Rate-a-Trailer: Harry Potter vs. Li'l Voldemort

We have one word for this Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince teaser that just went online: Creepy. Here, we see Harry's nemesis Voldemort as blossoming evildoer Tom Riddle, played by 10-year-old Hero Fiennes-Tiffin (nephew of Ralph Fiennes, the all-growed-up Voldemort). And wow, that kid's spookier than his uncle in a bald cap eating unicorns. Or doing whatever it is Old Vold's doing here, which looks like busting out jazz hands under strobe lights? On the bright side, seems like Dumbledore fans will have plenty to love.

So what do you think? Is our favorite aging wizard getting better at the Dark Arts, or is his bag of tricks almost empty? Sound off in the comments.

Rate-a-Trailer: A Boozy Bush in Oliver Stone's W.

Oliver Stone's ambitious, quickie biopic of George W. Bush popped out a teaser trailer today, and it looks like footage from some eerie alternate reality—or the next Will Ferrell movie.

The plot? A beer-bong-swillin' privileged party boy lets his daddy down—and then becomes president! It's hard to tell if they're playing it serious, or kitschy, but Elizabeth Banks nails Laura Bush, and Josh Brolin has perfected Bush's whiny pout-scowl combo. And there's something creepy—and fun—about seeing Thandie Newton, Toby Jones and Richard Dreyfuss dressed up like current newsmakers Condoleezza Rice, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney.

Good story or not, will anyone want to spend two more hours in the dark with these people—or is this just the kind of comeback Bush needs? Sound off in the comments.

Rate-a-Trailer: Bale vs. 'Bots in Terminator Salvation

Stop. Flickering. Just for a second, OK? This first teaser trailer from next summer's Terminator Salvation won't sit still, and all we want is a good look at those menacing robots—and that war between man and machine we've been hearing about for three movies. Also, we'd like to get a better look at Christian Bale as human resistance leader/hero John Connor.

Anyway, we get the basic idea: Humanity is doomed, Bale is Hollywood's handsomest badass, and a Schwarzenegger-free reboot of the Terminator flicks, with McG directing, could actually be cool. What do you think? Do you dig it, or should Arnold be bahhck? Sound off in the comments.

Rate-a-Trailer: Paris Slices 'n' Sings in Repo!

Let's be clear: This way grisly, futuristic rock opera from the director of three Saw flicks is not about Paris Hilton. She just has a small part in it—as the slutty heiress of a company that sells you much-needed internal organs—and then totally repossesses them when you default on payment!

Let's also be clear: We wouldn't be writing about this movie if Paris Hilton wasn't in it.

So what do you think? Is it stylish or ghoulish—or both? Is Repo! destined to be the next Rocky Horror—or the new Glitter? Sound off in the comments.

Rate-a-Trailer: Bond Stirs in Quantum of Solace

Car chase? Check. A boat pursuit, with maybe some airplanes, motorcycles and horses? Got it. Two exotic foxes who may be bad news? There and there. James Bond without his shirt on? Sure thing. A huge weapon of some sort? Totally. Looks like the just-out trailer for Quantum of Solace packs all the tricks in 007's bag, and we’re already falling for it.

But what do you think: Are Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton Bond-girl hot? Does spy guy Daniel Craig still thrill, or is he getting out-badassed by Judi Dench? Sound off in the comments!

Shiloh's "Debut" Debunked

Brad Pitt, Shiloh Pitt ©PacificCoastNews.com

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt makes her "acting debut" in the trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Or so we’re told. (Watch the trailer below.)

If you squint real hard about a minute in, you can see a grainy image of Brad cradling...somebody who releases a yellow balloon into the air.

We love us some Shiloh, too. But let’s not go overboard. Despite being heralded as a "great stage presence," this baby’s onscreen image remains as hard to tease out on film as it did on her ultrasound.

Rate-a-Trailer: Vin Diesel Saves Us All in Babylon A.D.

You kinda have to respect Vin Diesel for sticking to what he loves: stylish sci-fi movies that don’t exactly make bank (see The Chronicles of Riddick—or don't). So check out this new trailer for Babylon A.D., due Aug. 29, which looks a bit like Children of Men remade on the Blade Runner set. And maybe that's a good thing, since French director Mathieu Kassovitz's futuristic flick feels superslick, despite Vin's sour look in every shot. And hey, look, 1.5 seconds of Michelle Yeoh!

What do you think? Can Vin win with this one?

Rate-a-Trailer: Depp, Loathing & Gonzo

What do Johnny Depp, President Jimmy Carter and Pat Buchanan have in common? They all have big things to say about the late journalist-genius-gun nut Hunter S. Thompson in this new trailer from the documentary Gonzo, that's what.

Depp was buddy-buddy with Thompson, and played him to shiny-domed perfection in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so it's no surprise he's the first face we see here. But what do you think: Can director Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) help the '70s icon make yet another comeback, or is this one Depp flick you'll skip?

Rate-a-Trailer: Angie Slays, Seduces in Wanted

Angelina Jolie may be all plump 'n' happy with twins at the moment, but don't forget: She's a badass. An unreasonably sexy one. The guns, grimace and back tattoos she's sporting in the new trailer for Wanted should do enough to drive that home, right? It's also clear she scares the crap out of James McAvoy, the clueless/cool newbie assassin in this adaptation of some very cool comics by the prolific Mark Millar.

What do you think? Can Jolie make this flick a killer, or does Wanted feel like The Matrix warmed over? Sound off in comments.

Rate-a-Trailer: Pitt 'n' Clooney in Burn After Reading

Brad Pitt's been chasing an Oscar so much so recently, we almost forgot how funny the guy can be. Dig his clueless personal trainer dude blackmailing a CIA badass (John Malkovich) in this just-out trailer for Joel and Ethan Coen's Burn After Reading. (Warning: This clip's got some R-rated language, kids.) Better yet, just dig the highlights.

Too bad George Clooney doesn't get as much room here, but, hey, look at that: The dad from Juno barking orders. Love that guy. Anyway, looks like a return to the zanier Lebowski-like Coen flicks we love the best (sorry, No Country for Old Men).

What do you think? Is Pitt on his game or just hamming it up with bad hair? Sound off in the comments.
