Welcome back to the Movie Media column, featuring trailers, posters, and clips for upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh and some aren't. However, they all have something in common: for better or worse, they all caught my attention. If there is a poster or trailer you think I should check out, be sure to let me know.

This week's movie goodies include posters, trailers, and stills for some feature films and even a couple of behind-the-scenes clips! Hopefully, you'll enjoy taking a gander!

Blindness - Trailer

Besides Quantum of Solace, there is one other movie that has me excited to see it. Yes, it is Blindness, and I can't wait. The movie looks fascinating, different, and just flat out good. It concerns a virus that causes people to go blind. Julianne Moore plays a woman who can see among the blind. The trailer that came out recently looks excellent.

Splinter - Trailer

Never heard of this until I saw the trailer. Much of what is contained within looks like typical horror movie stuff, but there is something to it that looks good, low budget, but good. What makes me want to see it are the titular splinters. They pop up, kill, and I want to know more.

Quantum of Solace - Trailer, Poster

Quite possibly my most highly anticipated film of the fall. The new James Bond film looks fantastic. Of course, it does have to live up to the fantastic Casino Royale. Something tells me that this will be more than up to the task.

Repo! The Genetic Opera - Poster, Trailer

There are films that are hard to market and then there is Repo! The Genetic Opera. I see the trailer, the poster, and hear some of the music and I am sold, but it looks so weird and odd that I have no idea how it will play to a wide audience. The story is set in the future, a future where organ failure is rampant, and transplants are financed. However, if you miss a payment, a repo man is sent to get the organ back. Sounds like fun! Plus, its a rock musical! The diverse cast includes Anthony Head, Paris Hilton, Alexa Vega, Ogre (from the band Skinny Puppy), Bill Mosely, and Paul Sorvino.

Changeling - Trailer

Clint Eastwood has a new film coming this fall. It stars Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, and looks quite good. It is set in he late 1920s and focuses on a woman whose son has gone missing. After a long search a boy is found, proclaimed her son and the case is closed. The problem is that this is the wrong child. This could be quite interesting.
