Trailer for Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr.'s 'The Soloist'
Cinematical — I'm of two minds when it comes to this fall's sure-fire awards contender, The Soloist. One half of me is in mild awe that, even in 2008, we find ourselves staring down an awards bid in which a failed journalist and a failed musician help restore one another to their former glory, live life to the fullest, so on, so forth, etc. Yeah, I know it's based from a true story, but that doesn't make it instantly inspirational (well, it does for some). The other half, however, acknowledges that two talented actors could make something special out of the material, and judging from this new trailer over at Yahoo! Movies, Robert Downey Jr. and ...

'The Soloist': Iron Man and Ray Charles Team Up...to Make You Cry
PopWatch — 'The Soloist': Iron Man and Ray Charles Team Up...to Make You Cry As previously stated , I love trailers. I am also a bit of a sap.

I know that this trailer pushing my emotional buttons with all ...

Trailering: Three "Nights."
IFC: Indie Eye — There are three different teaser trailers, or maybe they'd be better described as anti-trailers, for Joe Swanberg's "Nights and Weekends" up on the official site here -- like the film, they're without music, based instead around single conversations ("You kiss harder... than I recall") cut through with other footage. Here's my review from the SXSW premiere; it opens October 10th. For a trailer that's very much A Trailer, see this one for "The Soloist," director Joe Wright's first excursion into the present day after "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement," and extremely Oscar-baitey in a totally different way. Robert ...
