How To Train Your Dragon Trailer
From the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon”—a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell.
The story centers around a Viking teenager named Hiccup, who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief…who just happens to be Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.
How To Train Your Dragon will open in cinemas everywhere across the UK from 31st March 2010

Date Night Trailer
Romcoms, eh?
Who’d have ‘em?
While we’re not exactly falling over ourselves here at OTB to champion every turgid romcom that limps its cliched way onto the big screen, it’s fair to say that whatever our reservations, a romcom can soar based on its chemistry (see: The Proposal).
So while the latest from director of Night At The Museum 2 may not get you scrabbling to pre-book your tickets for Date Night, the realisation that it pairs two of the most likeable, funny actors around together may well do.
Steve Carrell: meet Tina Fey.
They play Phil and Claire Foster, your stereotypical suburban couple whose lives have settled into a work-kids-sleep routine. They head off into the city for one ‘date night’ and decide to live a little. Only when they take a table reservation that isn’t theirs, they soon find themselves embroiled in gunfights, car chases, shirtless Mark Wahlbergs and plenty of slapstick.
What do you think?
Clash of the Titans Teaser Trailer
There’s not much to indicate the presence of a plot in this small slice of ancient Greecana, but there are some massive scorpions – just what you need on a winters morning.
This is the first taste of Clash of the Titans, the film some people are predicting will be the movie event of 2010, and if this minute of swordy rock music is anything to go by, it seems set to be a little more rapid than the pedestrian original.
For those of you behind on your Greek mythology, this is the tale of Perseus (Sam Worthington) the demi-god son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) who must rescue a princess and fight quite a few monsters – all to get even with daddy (it’s complicated).
Enjoy.

The White Ribbon Trailer
A village in Protestant northern Germany. 1913-1914. On the eve of World War I. The story of the children and teenagers of a choir run by the village schoolteacher, and their families: the baron, the steward, the pastor, the doctor, the midwife, the tenant farmers.
Strange accidents occur and gradually take on the character of a punishment ritual. Who is behind it all?
The village schoolteacher observes, investigates and little by little discovers the incredible truth. Are we being asked to consider whether these events heralded something that would explode years later with the rise of Nazi Germany? Did these events contain the germs of the tragedies that followed?
Acclaimed auteur Michael Haneke (HIDDEN, FUNNY GAMES) returns to his classic themes of guilt, denial and violence in this haunting and provocative feature which was awarded the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The White Ribbon is on general release across the UK from Friday 13th November 2009
Prince Of Persia Trailer
Swoon, kablow, yippee!
That, in three onomatopoeic words, sums up our reaction to the new Prince of Persia trailer.
From the opening epic camera sweep and fantasy-tinged symphonic score, it’s blatantly clear the the Director of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise isn’t straying too far from what he already knows.
But when it looks this audience-batingly exciting, who cares?

Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) re-team for their latest electrifying thriller in Green Zone, a film set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences.
