'Winged Creatures' Trailer
Last year, bit by bit, we got casting notices for the uber-drama Winged Creatures, which collected a powerful group of actors -- Forest Whitaker, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Hudson, Dakota Fanning, Jackie Earle Haley, Guy Pearce, and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Now a trailer has finally hit the Internet, which you can see above.
As the trailer outlines, the film follows a group of people who suffer post-traumatic stress after a random shooting at a Los Angeles diner. Talk about a soul-sucker. The trailer alone should steal some of the wind from your happy sails, but it looks like it will be in the most worthy way. Initial buzz at IMDb has pegged the film to be a 9.1/10, so this could be one of those heavy, challenging dramas worth our time and energy. The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival, but a release date is yet to be set.

4. Just another cheap, sordid flick from Hollywood. The only thing it has going for it is the cast. And as for the cast, what do you find? Some are new A-listers who want to keep their names in play; like Forrest Whittaker and Jennifer Hudson. The others are fallen A-listers; like Jeanne Tripplehorn and Dakota Fanning... for whom this grim melodrama is the equivalent of The Last Chance Saloon.

1. The cast is so good (well, except for Jennifer Hudson) that I hope it manages to transcend this trailer, which makes it look like every other tragic, cliched character study ever made.
