Trailer Park: February 19th



Trailer Park is a weekly post, every thursday, where we feature trailers for the upcoming weekend movie releases.


Two pretty big releases this week. Thriller fans rejoice, as each film is of the drama/mystery genre. Both look rather good with two very different plots. If you're heading to the cinema this weekend you should definitely check out one of these two.



First up is Shutter Island, the latest effort from acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley. Two U.S. Marshals are sent to a mental institution for the criminally insane to investigate the escape of a murderous psychopath. The film appears to become much more of a psychological thriller than a straight forward cop story. It is definitely one to look out for.



Next up is The Ghost Writer. Directed by the controversial Roman Polanski and starring Pierce Brosnan, Ewan Mcgregor and Kim Cattrall. A ghost writer is given the task of writing a former British Prime Minister's biography. During his work he uncovers a conspiracy that endangers his life. It certainly seems to be a tense, edge of your seat ride.

Other Releases:
Happy Tears
The Good Guy (LA/NY)

I am terribly excited for Ghost Writer but I'm refusing to watch any trailers for it. Polanski is one director that I like a lot so I like to be surprised by what he's done. Not have it all spoiled for me in 2 minutes.
