Hoo-ah! Back in 1997, Kevin Spacey hosted Saturday Night Live and showed off a number of fairly spot-on impressions: Christopher Walken, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon and, of course, Al Pacino. As the first official trailer for Casino Jack can attest, over 13 years later, the man's still got it -- at least when it comes to Pacino. Though if you're asking yourself why Spacey does a Pacino impersonation in the middle of a film about D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff, you're not alone.

When we last saw a trailer for November's sure-to-be animated smash Tangled (a 3D version of the story of Rapunzel), it was presented as some lazy, Disney-lite fairy tale that seemed like a total snooze. Not this time! A new trailer has arrived, loaded with the type of swashbuckling fun and quick wit that your 12-year-old inner self would find positively charming. Will your adult self feel the same way, though?

"Is there anything more terrifying than this moment?" says one of the doomed-to-be-part-of-a-sex-centipede co-eds at the beginning of the trailer for The Human Sexipede. Well, probably.

"A man who has seen the things I've seen; experienced the loss and pain that I've experienced... I transcend race, hombre." So says Kenny Powers at the beginning of the first real trailer for the second season of HBO's Eastbound & Down. That the disgraced former Major Leaguer -- who escaped to Mexico during the season one finale -- has a wicked set of cornrows should come as no surprise to anyone who has seen a subway ad or billboard promoting the Sept. 26 premiere. That Powers has a collection of firearms, however, might.

The major networks aren't going to like this one bit. HBO has unveiled the first trailer for Todd Haynes' 5-part mini-series adaptation of Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, Evan Rachel Wood and Guy Pearce, and it basically screams Emmys. Prepare to see all these people conga line up the podium during the ceremony next year... unless the awards telecast gets relegated to cable.

But will it be scarily good or just screamingly awful?

And you thought Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters was the craziest idea for a movie ever. The trailer for Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale has popped up online and it does for Santa Claus what Jack Frost did for snowmen, while also finding time to use every single Christmas-related one-liner you could possibly imagine. Sample, said ominously: "Santa is going to find out who's naughty or nice." Is he?

The horror genre often likes to segue between bloody kill-em-offs and creepy ghost stories, and it looks like we're in the middle of that transition once again. Just as the slashers inspired by Scream eventually gave way to the J-horror of The Ring, now it seems like the torture porn genre famously led by the Saw series has ceded ground to low-budget haunted house movies like Paranormal Activity. Can Saw 3D stem the tide?

Studios still think audiences want to know the entire story of a movie before they see it. For evidence, just see the trailer for Country Strong, which stars Gwyneth Paltrow as an unstable country star who embarks on a comeback tour organized by her husband/manager (Tim McGraw). Said tour also features a young singer-songwriter (Garrett Hedlund) who Paltrow gets involved with, and a former beauty queen (Leighton Meester) who wants to be taken seriously as an artist.
