For those of us who jones for some bloodsucking action in our lives, the good people at True Blood have heard our cries, and have given us a full, two-minute Season 3 trailer to whet our appetites in advance of the June 13 premiere. So what can we expect from our merry band of vamps, shape-shifters and mind-readers this season? Looks like healthy portions of hungry werewolves, bared fangs, bare asses, and enough spilled blood to make anyone blanch.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, you've got some competition. The trailer for Zac Efron's new film Charlie St. Cloud has made its way online, and it casts the former Taylor Lautner as a smart, rich, loving, yachting, Stanford-bound mensch who loves to wear sleeveless shirts. Can it get even better for our hero? It can: an accident leaves him able to talk to ghosts. Well, one in particular.

Three things in Hollywood will never go out of fashion: Comedies about losing virginity, setting literary classics in high school and 20-something actors playing teenagers. So it's probably a good thing for Easy A that it has all of these things in excess. And that it's also the first opportunity at a leading role for Movieline favorite Emma Stone doesn't hurt either, just so long as your tolerance for Tom Cruise jokes hasn't waned since 2007.

Remember how in Saved by the Bell, Zack Morris could snap his fingers and time would completely freeze, allowing him to regale the audience with a fourth-wall breaking monologue? Well imagine if a shady group -- clothed in the best suits a '50s G-Man could buy -- had that power, but instead of using it to make unheard quips about their buddies, they used it to make sure Matt Damon followed his predestined plan. Say hello to The Adjustment Bureau.

By being both an entry in the Un Certain Regard category at this year's Cannes Film Festival and also the latest from famed Japanese horror director Hideo Nakata (the original versions of The Ring and Dark Water), Chatroom is saddled with a lot of advance expectations. And once the trailer begins with the sound of a modem dialing up, you unfortunately know it won't possibly be able to match them. Log on to Prodigy and check it out.

The latest trailer for Christopher Nolan's megabudget mindf*ck Inception arrived in theaters Friday ahead of Iron Man 2. It was also online if you cared to visit one of the film's multitude of corresponding sites, where I'm told some video-game playing hijinx will allow viewers access to the clip. It's slowly but surely trickling out elsewhere, including right here at Movieline, but before we get too carried away, let's think about this for a second: Is it really doing ourselves (let alone the movie) any favors to succumb to the hype? As much as I want to see Inception, do I have to watch a trailer that gives everything away?

Back in January, Academy Award-winning documentarian Davis Guggenheim won the Audience Award at Sundance for Waiting for "Superman", a look at America's depressingly screwed up public education system. And based on the newly released trailer its pretty easy to see why. Cue up the Matisyahu and grab a few tissues, this one could get dusty.

Ever since people started getting a glimpse of the trailer (embedded below) for Super 8, the seeeecret new film directed by J.J. Abrams, they've been falling all over themselves to describe it as Steven Spielberg-inspired. It certainly may be true that the actual film is, as rumored, an homage to Spielberg's early work. But this trailer? Not so much.

The first trailer for the remake of I Spit On Your Grave arrived online Wednesday, just days after the poster featuring Sarah Butler, her garden shears and the tacky slogan "It's Date Night" began making the rounds. Perhaps understandably, both the trailer and the poster seem targeted to a horror-numbed younger audience -- the majority of whom likely have no idea it's a remake of one of the most notorious cult films of the last 50 years. But now it's time to catch up, and Movieline, as always, is here to help.

The trailer is finally here for the controversial Michael Winterbottom thriller The Killer Inside Me, which was a festival sensation both for its pulpy nature and for the pulpy nature of Jessica Alba's face, once the psychopathic Casey Affleck gets done with it in the film. How brutal is the trailer?

Talk about prescient: Robert Rodriguez's Machete was filmed over a year ago, but its plot is decidedly ripped from the headlines. In Arizona, a nasty senator is rounding up all the illegal immigrants and sending them back across the border. Only in this scenario, there's a bad-ass former Federale killing people at will to stop the injustice and clear his name. Bring your ID, because this could get ugly...

If there's anything I've learned from reading Jezebel, it's that women love paparazzi pictures of celebrities but hate the assumption that they can't get along with each other. How to explain, then, the preponderance of movies like Mean Girls, Bride Wars, and the new Kristen Bell comedy You Again, which suggest women are never more entertaining then when they're taking each other down?

I've been looking forward to the Anton Corbijn-directed, George Clooney-starring thriller The American for a while, and the new trailer doesn't disappoint. Not only is it beautiful, spare, and visually striking, but it appears to be a big-budget feature version of "The Economist," one of my favorite episodes of Lost.

What kind of movie is Piranha 3D (besides awesome)? It's the kind where the lead characters -- in this case Elisabeth Shue as a town sheriff and Adam Scott (yes!) as some kind of scientist with a predilection towards flannel -- are barely even glimpsed in the full-length trailer. Because there's no time for them when you've got Doc Brown, Matt Hooper and a bunch of badly animated CGI piranhas...

Despite being more than five months away from release, Disney unfurled the new trailer for Secretariat today with the hopes of capitalizing on America's Kentucky Derby fever. Wait, you didn't realize the Kentucky Derby was this Saturday either? Nevertheless, cue up some inspirational music and John Malkovich over-acting...
