It’s due to screen soon at the Sundance Film festival, but the trailer for Grek Araki’s new flick, Kaboom, has now shown up online. It’s a pretty intriguing trailer, as it starts off looking like an okay but slightly generic queer cinema effort (even if the cast is slightly better than most gay movies, with Sarah Connor Chronicle’s Thomas Dekker and Atonement’s Juno Temple), but then gets more and more peculiar and slightly sci-fi as it goes on. Araki has a great track record with movies like The Living End, The Doom Generation and Mysterious Skin, and it looks like he may have come up with something equally interesting this time – it has, after all, been described as Twin Peaks for the Coachella Generation! The film tells the story of Smith (Thomas Dekker), an ambisexual 18-year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic Southern California seaside town. There’s no UK release date set yet, but hopefully it’ll arrive soon.

Do behind the scenes with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg in this new featurette for Paul, which sees the duo talking about the film, the ideas behind it, and also how they thing Americans view us Brits! The movie itself does look like it’ll be hilarious, and you can watch the trailer here. Frost and Pegg play two Brits excited about travelling across the States to see Area 51, but who gets more than they bargained for when they end up helping an alien (voiced by Seth Rogen), who’s crash-landed. While they try to help Paul get home, they also need to elude the authorities that are desperate to capture him. Click below to watch the new featurette. Paul will be in cinemas Feb 14th.

Ok, before we do anything else, click below and watch the trailer. It’s okay, I’ll wait for you. Done that? Now tell me what you think that film is about. If you can say anything other than ‘surfing’ I’d be surprised, as if this teaser is to be believed, the movie will just be Annasophia Robb riding the waves for two hours. It’s actually about Bethany Hamilton, an up and coming teen surfer who survived after a shark bit off one of her arms. She then fought her way back to become a top surfer. But you sure wouldn’t know that from the trailer! Hopefully another promo will arrive soon that tells us a little more, before the film itself arrives in cinemas this spring.

What is it with Hollywood making romantic comedies with premises that sound anything but romantic or comedic? Following the likes of Life As We Know It (people who hate each other have to adopt orphaned children) and The Switch (a man fathers his friend’s turkey baster baby without her knowing it), comes A Little Bit Of Heaven – previously known as Earthbound – which sees Kate Hudson finding her soulmate (Gael Garcia Bernal), just as she discovers she has cancer! Yeah, I’m already in fits of laughter about that premise too. However the new UK trailer suggests it may be going for gentle humour and reflection rather than full-on guffaws, but we’ll have to wait and see. Click below for the trailer. A Little Bit Of Heaven hits UK cinemas on February 5th.

Previous looks at the Paul Bettany 3D sci-fi flick, Priest, have been a little light on the effects, but that’s not a problem here, with the CG and action pushed to the forefront, suggesting something a little bit futuristic, a little bit noir and a little bit western. Like director Scott Stewart and Bettany’s previous film, Legion, the promos look great, but let’s just hope the finished product is a little better than the angel flick. Priest is a sort of supernatural The Searchers, with Paul Bettany as a warrior priest in a future that’s been taken over by vampires, who sets out to track down his kidnapped niece and take revenge on the blood-suckers responsible for taking her. Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet and Maggie Q also star. The film hits cinemas on May 13th, but click below for the trailer.

With its premise of trying to take a realistic-looking approach to how the modern American military would take on an invading alien threat (although it’s yet to be seen how realistic it’ll seem) Battle: Los Angeles has long been an intriguing proposition. The first trailers niftily only brought in the alien aspect slowly, making it look like a war/disaster movie, before you slowly realised who the bad guys were (oddly though, they showed very little of the main cast either). That’s still there to a certain extent in this new promo, but it also gives us a much better look at what the US military will be up against in the movie, when LA become humankind’s last stand again an invading extra-terrestrial foe. The film stars Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez and will be in cinemas on March 11th. Click below for the new feature trailer.
