Oh, man. So it's just another Friday night and I'm lounging with my best BFFs at the the latest fabulous Hollywood see-and-be-seen (don't ask me where, please -- I wouldn't want to make you feel embarrassed). And we're enjoying some light cocktails and hard drugs when the topic of conversation turns to, as always, "Who would win in a fight -- Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, or Billy Elliott?"

It's a pretty controversial topic of conversation, as we all know. After all, Mace Windu's got that badass purple lightsaber, and Billy Elliott has those sweet dance moves, and Anakin Skywalker's all pouty and sad... The debate wages on as usual for an hour or so, and then my friend Jill says, "Wait. Guys. What if they had the power of teleportation? What then?"

And we are just like, "Whoa."

Here's the trailer for Jumper, directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) and starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jamie Bell. The debate wages on. There can be only one.

This trailer for David Cronenberg's new thriller manages to introduce all its major plot elements -- orphaned baby, abandoned corpse, secret diary, Naomi Watts -- while maintaining a sense of intriguing mystery. How does it all add up? No telling. Only thing we know for sure is that Viggo Mortensen is one sexy tattooed Russian gangster. Eastern Promises opens today; if its success is anything compared to that of A History of Violence, it'll stick around for quite some time.

The new teaser trailer for Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. and directed by Jon Favreau, dropped today. As it was being passed around the office here at TDR, REELEDin manager Spencer Somers was overheard muttering, “It’s gonna take a lot for me to see another superhero movie that’s not Batman or Superman.” And you know what? He’s never been more right (In fact, he’s hardly ever right. Burn!). After such recent debacles as Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four 2, Spider-Man 3 and X-Men 3, comic book movies, especially Marvel ones, are wearing pretty thin.

But this would be a good time to list some other quotes heard by TDR staffers as this trailer was going around: “Badass!” “This is fucking awesome!” “That looks great!” And yes, Spencer agreed that he would indeed be seeing this one.

So of course, leave it to Favreau (whose last effort was 2005’s best-movie-no-one-saw Zathura) and Downey Jr. (in the midst of a career revival that includes another one of my favorite movies of 2005, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) to get us excited again. I’m almost ashamed to say that I had my doubts, but it’s reassuring to know that there are some filmmakers that you can count on.

When I first heard about the concept for this Jack Black vehicle -- a man accidentally erases all the movies at his friend's video store, and together they must remake the films themselves -- I thought it just sounded like an amusing setup for Black to run around and be silly for a couple of hours. Nothing wrong with that, either. But I was wrong.

To begin with, Be Kind, Rewind is brought to us by Michael Gondry, director/co-writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Second of all, Black's co-star is the immensely appealing Mos Def, who not only has Emmy-nominated dramatic chops, but has also pulled off comedy flawlessly in everything from Chapelle's Show to Hitchhiker's Guide. So there's that.

But the big thing is, it looks good. Instead of a simple farce about two guys bumbling around with a camcorder, we seem to be getting a funny, charming fairy tale about two guys who remind everyone how to fall in love with movies again. Which is a lot more exciting than just a movie with Jack Black getting earing a dress and getting smacked in the face a lot.

Although it also has that.
