This Week In Trailers: The Comedy, Chasing Ice, Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day, That's What She Said, Split: A Deeper Divide

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they're seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week we look at Tim Heidecker's happy face, Zeppelin's bloated faces, some guys gettin' their crampon on, Maeby Fünke, and a dissection of the current political process that is neither left or right. 

Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day Trailer

This just doesn't work.

Dick Caruthers, a director who worked extensively with Oasis in the day, and, more recently and importantly amiright, Michael Bublé, can't work his magic on this. If he had, I wouldn't wonder why this seems like a pastiche of unimpressive concert footage that seems more like a tired retrospective of some guys half assing it than it does a triumphant return to form.

And, make no mistake, there is no form here. The cuts are quick and sloppy, the energy that's created isn't being done through the magnificence of the remaining members of the band, and it's only the ADD injected editing that tries to smoke and mirror us into thinking this was a concert for the ages. It's not quite embarrassing but let's call it for what it is: old guys making a go at it and who are showing their age. There shouldn't be anything

'Gambit' Trailer: A Coen Brothers-Written Heist Film With Colin Firth And Cameron Diaz

What we've got here is a remake of a classic caper movie from the writers of Fargo starring an Oscar-winner, a box-office bombshell and a naked Professor Snape. The movie is Gambit, directed by Michael Hoffman, with a screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen starring Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz and Alan Rickman. Firth plays an employee desperate to get back at his boss (Rickman) who enlists the help of a cowgirl (Diaz) to con him into buying a fake painting. Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg and performances by Stanley Tucci, Cloris Leachman and Tom Courtenay all factor in. A trailer has been floating around for about a week but is just coming to our attention now. Check it out below.

Thanks to Deadline for the latest heads up on the trailer.

With the quirky characters, awkward situations and layered plot, some of the Coen Brothers' influence is definitely seen here. Plus the cast is without a doubt top notch. The only thing I'm a little hesitant about is how under the radar a film of this magnitude is flying. Even Hoffman, while not a household name, has made a pretty solid batch of good movies: The Last Station, Game 6, The Emperor's Club, Soapdish, etc. Is the twisting, turning, double crossing plot a little too played out? The original film too revered? We'll find out soon enough.

Gambit, based on the 1966 film with Michael Caine and Shirley McClaine, opens November 21 in the UK and sometime in 2013 in the US.
