Although a screener is sitting in my inbox, I’ve yet to sit myself down to watch this year’s big winner out of Cannes, Blue is the Warmest Color. Partially due to the fact that the film is three hours and partially because the subject matter seems very dour, artsy and indy-oriented, I’m putting it off until I’m curled up in bed and ready to dive down the rabbit hole, a journey I must make since the praise has been nearly universal.

Considering that I’ll be watching it sooner rather than later, I’m going to pass on this trailer but I invite you to take a look. Although it’s hardly a film that will be sweeping the major theater chains of America, there’s a good chance that it’ll get a limited engagement at the smaller, art-house theaters, particularly if you live in an art-centric community.

Blue is the Warmest Color is directed by Abdellatif Kechiche and starring Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos.

With a cast that includes Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, Jackie Weaver, Marcia Gay Harden, James Badge Dale, Colin Hanks, Mark Duplass, Ron Livingstone, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jeremy Strong, Parklandtells the story of JFK’s assassination through the perspective of six interweaving stories. As is often common with movies of such an ensemble nature, the narrative focus is all over the place. I’ll say no more though and let you watch it for yourself and see if this spurs any interest for you.

If you’ve have been living under a rock, do peruse through first teaser pictures, first trailer, a rather dull poster and this poster showing off the elfish baddie. Or don’t.

In drafting my fall preview, I put Spike Lee‘s Oldboy at number nine on my list of most anticipated films so while I’m all for more marketing, I’m going to hold off on taking a lookie at this one. For those of you not bought in yet, take a look and see if this looks like something down your alley. Remaking the acclaimed Korean film from director Chan Wook-Park, this is sure to offer the viscus-smattered thrills that some of us crave and some of us cower from. Which will you be?

“Obsessed with vengeance,” the synopsis read, “a man sets out to find out why he was kidnapped and locked up into solitary confinement for 20 years without reason.” If you haven’t checked out the first trailer, you can watch it here but be aware that it, unlike this newest one, is not safe for work.

Oldboy is directed by Spike Lee and stars Josh Brolin, Samuel L Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen and Michael Imperioli. It hits theaters on October 25.

Adapted from Chuck Logan‘s bestselling book, Homefront pits retired DEA agent Jason Statham against a meth-cooking James Franco.While it’s intriguing to see Franco filling the villain’s shoes, the project looks like just another Statham vehicle to punch people and shoot things. It certainly doesn’t help that Sylvester Stallone is responsible for the screen adaptation.

For some reason I can’t make two cents of, Statham preserves his English accent for the role of an American agent (as he does in nearly every film he is ever in). In fact, I can’t think of a single time the man has dropped the accent. Perhaps it has become too entrenched a part of his signature delivery but it’s easy to see that Statham should try on something new considering that none of his films have debuted at a number one spot since 2003’s The Italian Job (where he was not even near the top billing).

Directed by Gary Fleder (The Express), the film will see a November 27 release. It co-stars Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth and Frank Grillo.

I never saw the original Robocop back when I was a kid because, well, it was named Robocop. This newest string in a lineup of reboots though seems kind of promising and may just have enough of the right ingredients to get audiences in seats. Sony and MGM have just released the first trailer for this remake from director Jose Padhila that stars Joel Kinnaman as the titular character and it actually looks half-way decent.

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

Take a look at the trailer and see if this half-man, half-machine defender of the law is something you’d pay to go see in action.

Robocop is directed by Jose Padhila and stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jennifer Ehle, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Kenneth Williams and Michael Keaton and will hit theaters on February 7, 2014.

If you didn’t already have a certain disdain for frat bros, this trailer for Neighbors is sure to spark that special hate in your heart. Starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrneas an ordinary couple married with a baby, Neighbors asks what it would be like if the house next door was turned into a frat house. With Zac Efron, Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse filling out the frat pad, the resident lads feud with the family next door in a series of one-up-manship only known to the fraternal world.

Directed by Nicholas Stoller of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this red band trailer looks pretty promising and is packed with a premise that sees to keep the gags at the forefront. If Stoller’s track record is anything to go by, this is sure to be good time.

Definitely take a look at the trailer but don’t forget that it’s red band and thus not safe for work
