Film: 'Darjeeling Limited' trailer

So, there's a "Darjeeling Limited" trailer floating around the web. Scroll down to view a YouTubey version.

The new Wes Anderson film stars Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody and Owen Wilson (no Luke?) as siblings touring India. Anderson wrote the script with Schwartzman and first-time collaborator Roman Coppola, who I haven't heard much about since "CQ' came out back in 2001. Natalie Portman, Anjelica Houston and Bill Murray co-star.

"Darjeeling" looks like it combines the odd family dynamics of "The Royal Tenenbaums" and the divisive insanity of "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou." So, yeah, it looks good, and I can't wait to see it - if it comes to my local Cinemark. (Damn you Brownsville, you one-horse town).

The film opens Sept. 29 in some markets.

Film: Hey 'Superbad' fans

So, "Superbad" is the number one film in the country and tons of people still don't know about "Clark and Michael"? It's cool. I just watched my first episode today, although I've been meaning to check it out for a few months now.

"Clark and Michael" is a great little Internet TV series starring and written by "Superbad" star Michael Cera and pal Clark Duke, who had a cameo in "Superbad." The ten-episode series is about little more than the pair trying to sell a TV pilot about their lives to the networks, but it's damn funny and each ep is only about ten minutes long.

The few eps of "C&M" I watched made me laugh just as much as "Superbad" did - and McLovin' isn't even in the thing. The series does feature cames by cool kids like Patton Oswalt, Andy Richter, David Cross, Tony Hale from "Arrested Development" plus the great line "They brushed our teeth with their dicks."

It's funny. Watch it.

News: New 'Grindhouse' trailer

Originally uploaded by goldteethblog.

Yahoo! Movies just posted the outrageous new trailer for "Grindhouse," the upcoming Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature.

Speaking as a fan of both directors' earlier, more character driven work, this project looks like great fun. I don't think its parody, it's a pure-blood exploitation feature loaded with gore, guns, foul language and girls in skimpy outfits.

I know, I know, it looks ridiculous and it's got Rose Mcgowan sporting a chainsaw for a leg -- but that's what great about this thing. It's the kind of stuff only these two filmmakers can turn into quality.

It's got a great cast including Rosario Dawson, Freddy Rodriguez, Nicky Katt, Kurt Russell, Tom Savini, Danny Trejo and Naveen Andrews from "Lost." The film is slated for an April 6 release. Watch the trailer here.
