Trailer Watch: August 23, 2010

It’s a thankfully light day with only one new trailer and a new poster for one of last week’s premieres.

INSIDE JOB

	Plot Summary: An examination of the financial crisis brought about by corporate greed and malfeasance. Release Date: October 8, 2010
	Trailer	Poster
	Rating: B Commentary: It’s an important story to tell that too few will watch due to a rather unimpressive trailer. You can use critics’ notices all you want to say “this is a great movie”, but when regular audiences don’t listen as hard to critics as they should, it becomes rather pointless and you begin preaching to the converted.	Rating: B- Commentary: There isn’t a lot to the poster. It’s fairly interesting in its simplicity, but it doesn’t really do a lot to explain the contents of the film visually, requiring people to read what it says, which might happen with a poster that looks somewhat like a piece of currency.
	Trailer Link: Apple Trailers Oscar Chances: There are many potential contenders this year and this could very easily be one of them.

	Plot Summary: An ex-con discovers that his wife was pregnant when he went into prison and gave the child up for adoption. Now he wants to have his son back. Release Date: September 24, 2010
