The Man Who Peed With Fire: Watch Trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Nothing edifies the soul like an endless barrage of CGi fire. Remember when you’d come home from school in your wool cap, set your knapsack down in the chilly den, and Mother would crank up computer-animated flames in the plasma-screen hearth? Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance understands and would like to add a few more soul-tickling items to your precious memories: Nicolas Cage’s terrifying gaze, leather jackets, and fire pee. Serious.

From Captain America to Drug-Addicted Lawyer: Watch Chris Evans in the Trailer for Puncture

In this summer’s Captain America , Chris Evans embodies a sickly man who, after being injected with miracle drug, becomes a crime-fighting hero.

Watch Evans transition away from his Marvel superhero role in the first trailer for Puncture after the jump.

The New Trailer for the George Lucas-Produced Red Tails Gets Shot Down

Fighter piloting is inherently cinematic, so when a new movie comes out in the vein of Memphis Belle and Top Gun , I already hear the swells of music and gunfire. But in the case of Red Tails , the new Anthony Hemingway drama that arrives in theaters January 20, the grace of the genre is replaced with spotty dialogue and catatonic performances. Cuba Gooding Jr., you may as well call this movie Plane Trip .

The Invention of the Vibrator Reaches Climax in New Trailer for Hysteria

Since modern sex comedies are so often listless (see: The Change-Up ), perhaps a trip back to the 19th century will liven things up. Fresh off announcing the Gala premiere of the Tanya Wexler-directed Hysteria , the Toronto International Film Festival has released a new trailer for the period sex comedy replete with more orgasms than most late night Skinemax films. Scandalous! Or at least an heir to the throne of sexual antics of Road to Wellville .

The Latest Trailer for Footloose Does Not — In Fact — Cut Loose

First 50/50 released a theatrical trailer some 30 seconds shorter than its teaser trailer, and now Footloose has done the same thing. Is this the beginnings of a trend? Have the definitions of “trailer” and “teaser” been reversed at some point in the last 48 hours? Will there be a memo sent out explaining the cause? Silly questions, sure, but also more interesting than what’s presented in the somewhat boring new trailer for Footloose . Bring back the “teaser”!

Watch Taylor Lautner in the Second Abduction Trailer: An American Werewolf in Trouble!

Oh, no; Taylor Lautner’s life is a lie! In the new trailer for Abduction , Twilight ‘s crybaby sex wolf enters a world of intrigue and fear — and I do mean the fearful stare of Sigourney Weaver, who suddenly resembles Christopher Walken when acting terrified. Will Taylor Lautner be smooth enough to survive when he’s stripped of his identity instead of his clothes?

Can You Help Falling In Love with the Sweet First Trailer for Sundance Winner Like Crazy?

As a wise man (Okay, Elvis) once said, only fools rush in. But then we’ve all been foolish once or twice, haven’t we? So prepare your heartstrings for the familiar aching that will ensue as you watch the dreamy first trailer for Like Crazy , Drake Doremus’s Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winner about two college kids ( Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones) who fall for each other right before graduation and then discover that love, and life, gets a lot more complex when your soul mate is half a world away.

Does the Trailer for Red Tails Compare to The Tuskegee Airmen?

Just hours after George Lucas and Lucasfilm announced a release date for the long, long, long in development Tuskegee Airmen action-drama Red Tails , the first trailer has debuted online. “We count our victories by the bombers we get to their targets, by the husbands we return to their wives, by the fathers we give back to their children,” says a very determined Terrence Howard at a crucial moment in the very determined two-minute clip. Sounds heroic, Terry! But how does Red Tails compare to the 1995 HBO film, The Tuskegee Airmen ?

This Holiday Season, Will Your Kids Subject You to Singing Chipmunks or Singing Penguins?

Munk yourself! Better yet: munk your whole family, because the new trailer for Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked not only employs the phrase “Munk Yourself,” but wants to treat your darling sons and daughters to the chipmunk-equivalent of Boat Trip . If Dave Seville’s furor isn’t in your family’s budget, however, maybe you’ll want to check out Happy Feet Two , which samples Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” in a sultry penguin dance-off. Whatever you decide to do this holiday season, know one thing: both you and your kids are at the mercy of vulgar, singing cartoon animals.

Watch Ryan Gosling Charm Shady Political Figures in First Trailer for The Ides of March

“You got something the other guys don’t have. You exude something, you draw people in. All the reporters love you.” Yep, that’s a quote about Ryan Gosling. Sorry: Ryan Gosling’s character in The Ides of March , the hugely anticipated George Clooney-directed political thriller that will open the Venice Film Festival in August before heading to Toronto . Really, though: Gosling does exude something — will the stuffy topic of political intrigue damp that down?
