Trailers Week 15: 19/10/14

Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
Personally I have always favoured Battle Royale as my go to violent teenagers shredding each other apart movie, but since you all seem to be #KatnissForever, I guess I can show you the preview. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and I'm pretty sure the entire cast from the other two movies.



In The Heart Of The Sea
So in our recent troubled times with modern whaling, Ron Howard has decided to stir up the world a little and make a movie about whaling in the 19th Century. Expect to see more humans than whales die because that's how it was back then. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland.



A Merry Friggin' Christmas
This is beloved comedian Robin Williams' final film role and since 'Christmas movies about dysfunctional families' is one of my favourite film genres (right up there with Christmas rom-coms), I know I'm gonna love this one. Also starring Joel McHale, Lauren Graham and Clark Duke.



No No: A Dockumentary
This documentary is about baseball player Dock Ellis, who fought against racism in his sport in the 1970s. He was also known for pitching a no-hitter* whilst high on LSD (I would really recommend watching that link, it's a lot of fun).



*A no-hitter is a game where one team is unable to hit any balls pitched by the other team.

By The Gun
Ben Barnes plays a gangster who joins the Mafia and then throws it all away when he falls in love with a girl. Stupid kid. Also starring Leighton Meester, Toby Jones and Harvey Keitel.



Foxcatcher
I know that we already covered an earlier trailer for this movie, but I'm just so damn excited for this one. Directed by Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball), who won Best Director at Cannes for the film and starring Steve Carrell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum, all with various forms of prosthetics.



Whiplash
Miles Teller wants to be the greatest drummer who ever lived and gets a chance at his dream when he's accepted to a prestigious music conservatory run by an egomaniac conductor. Expect a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Also starring J.K. Simmons, Melissa Benoist and Paul Reiser.



Dying Of The Light
Nic Cage plays a CIA agent with an aggressive form of dementia out to kill his old nemesis. Just when you thought he couldn't push himself any further over the edge, he comes back time and time again. Also starring Anton Yelchin and Irène Jacob.




Classic Trailer: The Party (1968)
Probably the funniest movie ever made, Peter Sellers plays a bumbling Indian film extra who is mistakenly invited to a lavish Hollywood party. This movie has some of the best slapstick gags ever filmed and I can't even get through the trailer without laughing hysterically. Sellers was best known for playing Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther movies. This movie is next on our list for a classic review.
