OH man!!!
Went to Apple trailers and am now very excited for a bunch of movies coming up, even though it is traditionally movie dumping season (after Oscars).

Movies I Wanna Watch:

* V for Vandetta - I just saw the trailer for it and it looks pretty darn awesome! Hugo Weaving is awesome. I recognized his voice right away before I found out he was in the movie and that the Wachowski bros directed it. Then it all made sense. The only thing I'm worried about is the costume of the character V. I guess it's faithful to the comic? but it seems borderline stupid (bad period french haircut and mask)

* The Fountain - I read about this a while ago in Premiere magazine and must say the story immediately piqued my interest. From what I've gathered its basically a love story spanning from the sixteenth century to 2500 directed by the guy who did Pi and Requiem For A Dream. The trailor doesn't disappoint. My sis is super jealous of Rachel Weisz. She's played opposite all the hot men in Hollywood that she likes.
Couldn't find a poster of the film so here are a few (well, actually a load of) pics:

* Friends With Money - Looks interesting and funny. J.Aniston picks pretty good movies. Good taste or good agent. Also with Joan Cusack, Frances McDormand, Catherine Keener
No poster so here's a pic:

* Marie Antoinette - C'mon its Sofia Coppola! I'm sure there are many w/ fidgeting hands just waiting for the next flick after the great Virgin Suicides and Lost In Translation
Couldn't find a poster so here's a still:

Have to say its an awesome trailer too, even if she doesn't have anything to do with it. Matching the french period images w/ that music and that punk-y black on pick graphics - daring.

* Thank You For Smoking - I cracked up when I saw the trailer. Thinkin I should read the book first though. Its always better right?? Who'd ever thought I'd be rooting for the Tobacco lobbyist.

* Lady In The Water - I must say, I've liked all of M.Night Shyamalan's films (except for the Village) Good suspense and storyline if you disregard the whole twist ending. Plus theres Paul Giamatti whom I love as joe schmoes.

* Tristram Shandy: A Cock And Bull Story - This looks reaaally good. A film about filming Tristram Shandy, a famous story that can't be filmed. I wonder why there hasn't been more people talking about this. With Steve Coogan, Gillian Anderson, Stephen Fry and a bunch of other cool people.

The only poster image I could find

Hahahahah! You have to watch the trailer!
