Here’s a look at the brand spanking new trailer #2 for The Hunger Games which will air during this Sunday’s Super Bowl! The trailer includes a lot of new footage and dialogue. It includes glimpses of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss at The Reaping, in the arena, talking to Stanley Tucci’s Cesar Flickerman, as well as more of Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Lenny Kravitz as Cinna.

The long wait is almost over. The Hunger Games opens on March 23 so I expect we’ll be getting new goodies every few days or so until then. Stay tuned!

The Cold Light of Day with Henry Cavill, Bruce Willis and the 2^nd of today’s trailers that feature Sigourney Weaver, in which a young American Wall Street trader (Cavill) uncovers a conspiracy during his attempt to save his family, who were kidnapped while on vacation in Spain. Willis plays Cavill’s father, whom he discovers is not the mild-mannered businessman he was presumed to be, but a CIA operative.

This is director Mabrouk El Mechri’s English language debut and was written by Scott Wiper and John Petro. The trailer would seem to give a lot away. Some are calling this another “Bourne wanna-be”. I don’t see that but it does seem like a B movie given a good cast and trying for more. Oh well, we need something to tide us over until Man of Steel, right? The Cold Light of Day opens April 6 in the US and the UK.

Oren Moverman's Rampart  stars Woody Harrelson, who earned an Oscar nomination in Moverman's last film, The Messenger. Harrelson plays arguably the worst, most corrupt cop you’ve ever seen on screen. Certainly the worst since Denzel Washington earned an Oscar for playing Alonzo Harris in Training Day. Harrelson is being mentioned in the same breath as Oscar for his role as Dave Brown. The script is co-written by Moverman and one of my all-time favorite writers, James Ellroy (the novels "LA Confidential", "The Blue Dahlia"-but don't hold the movie against him- among many others). Joining Harrelson and Moverman is Ben Foster, who should have been nominated for The Messenger.

Official synopsis: Based on a true LAPD scandal from the 1990's, Rampart is the genre-bending police drama/family story of Dave Brown, a a cop long ago unleashed from the rules of the LAPD, whose past is catching up with him. Roving the streets, he governs and punishes at will. His home life is a riddle. He has fathered children with two sisters (Anne Heche and Cynthia Nixon). Somehow he still lives casually with them both, slipping in and out of a family life thats as tangled as his long career on the force. {This reminds me of The General with Brendan Gleeson-also based on a true story} Years ago, Brown may have killed a rapist and gotten away with it. The shadow of the incident still haunts him, so when his Rampart division gets caught up in a corruption scandal, Brown makes an easy target. As the controversy seeps through the department and into city hall, this hardened, reckless officer finds himself at the center of a sordid L.A. story with a D.A. and an investigator on his trail, a lover who may or may not be on his side and fighting for his sanity and survival.

The cast is impressive. In addition to Harrelson, Foster, Heche and Nixon, Rampart stars Robin Wright, Sigourney Weaver, Steve Buscemi, Ned Beatty, Ice Cube, Jon Foster and Jon Bernthal.  Following a successful tour on the festival circuit, Rampart has been picked up for release by Millennium Entertainment. It will open in NY and LA for awards qualification, then go wide January 27.

I just love the gowns that these women wear and to me there were three that really stood out:  Christina Applegate, Holly Hunter and of course Helen Mirren.   I don’t know that the picture does justice to Helen’s dress because when she walked out on stage she was absolutely breathtaking.

Yeah, you know you love that picture.  It was either Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler or Halle Berry.  I just wanted to tease the Gerard Butler fans

Before I get on with the winners of last night’s Golden Globe Awards, I just want to mention that I really enjoyed Ricky Gervais hosting.  What we saw of him.  I would have really liked for him to be on stage more often.  I particularly liked when he introduced Mel Gibson by saying:

“It’s not my fault. I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Mel Gibson”

I’m sure your jaw dropped to the floor like the rest of us and the celebrities in the audience.  Mel didn’t seem bothered by it and in fact went along with it.

Sandra Bullock showed off her perfect German in her acceptance speech by telling her kids (she is step-mom to husband Jesse James’ kids):

“to brush their teeth and go to bed”

Although my television went black during his speech, I enjoyed watching Robert Downey Jr via YouTube:

For the list of winners and pictures in the press room hit the ‘continued reading’
