An official trailer for Dax Shepard's under-the-radar mockumentary Brother's Justice has surfaced today. In it, the Idiocracy actor decides to drop his comedy career in favor of becoming a martial arts star. The only problem is that he needs to learn karate -- oh, and secure some A-list funding for his dream project. Cue the fuzzy dissolve to a Punk'd reunion.

Last summer, Ridley Scott and Last King of Scotland director Kevin McDonald teamed up with YouTube for a "historic global experiment" that would work like this: You send them some video of your activities on July 24, 2010 (a Saturday) and they would edit the best footage into a documentary film about the world's events that day, credit you as a co-director and premiere it at the Sundance Film Festival under the title Life in a Day. Finally, the trailer has arrived. Let's take a look!

Our own Christopher Rosen (who I affectionately call "Crose" or "Croze" or "Croseanne Cash," in case you were wondering) reviewed the UK trailer for the cute-ass Sundance fave Submarine before, and since then, it's gotten cuter.

The Sundance hit Homework, the Emma Roberts/Freddie Highmore film that Fox Searchlight snatched up the day of its premiere, is now retitled The Art of Getting By. Is the trailer worth analyzing? Ish. But you know what deserves more scrutiny? The fact that these stars look 11 and 8 respectively.

Like Bring It On, The Fast and the Furious will not die.

Jump into the interactive trailer! Tell 'em J.J. Abrams sent ya!

The marketing for X-Men: First Class has been the cause of much debate on the ol' interwebs. There were those hated character posters (that weren't that bad), the random still photo of Mystique and Beast on a picnic, and the initial trailer that may or may not have gotten you excited for the '60s-era comic book film. If you weren't a fan of that U.S. trailer, the international one won't really make you change your mind... but it still looks kinda cool? Click ahead to watch and decide for yourself.

Here at Movieline HQ, we've been going back and forth on Bridesmaids. On the one hand, it's apparently hilarious, judging from the working cut Jen Yamato saw at SXSW. On the other hand, the marketing thus far has been a tad... lame. Will the Judd Apatow-produced film be "The Hangover for girls" comedy that everyone is hoping for, or just Bride Wars with the cast of SNL? Based on the latest international trailer, it seems like we have an answer.

Recently released stills of Dreamworks's The Help looked stern, but the new trailer for the film stamps smiles on Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Emma Stone's faces. But is this film set in early '60s Mississippi too lighthearted to convey racial tensions without that Blind Side soupcon of condescension?

For a summer blockbuster whose makers are trying to emphasize its seriousness, Cowboys & Aliens sure is shaping up to be a fun little dust-tinged ride through the alien-infested Wild West. Or is it the Wilde West, now that marketing materials are giving fans the sense that resident hottie Olivia Wilde is actually in this thing?

Yes, there's something for everyone.

If you haven't heard anything about Will Ferrell's Spanish language comedy Casa de mi Padre, there are a few reasons for that: Even with watchable stars like Ferrell, Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna and Nick Offerman, it does not appear to be funny -- at least judging by the following trailer, which was discreetly dropped into the blogosphere on Thursday. Second, it was filmed entirely in Spanish as a hyper-dramatized telenovela. Third, Will Ferrell reportedly only agreed to star in and produce the film as part of a closed-door settlement with its production company NALA Films.
