This is the film that won the top narrative prize at Sundance. It stars newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis. I don't think I've ever seen a trailer quite like this. I am looking forward to this one. It will also play in Cannes this month.

Trailer Watch: Hope Springs Starring Meryl Streep
What do you think about this one. It opens in the slot in August where movies targeted at women like Julie & Julia and The Help have been quite successful. It's directed by the same guy who did The Devil Wear Prada. After watching the trailer I'm not so sure about this one. Tommy Lee Jones just doesn't do it for me. But I'm sure I will see it.
