The Five Best Recent Trailers

This is saying a lot, since trailers blow these days. Hell, I've been waiting literally TWO DECADES for movie previews to change. Finally, there's a glint of light on the horizon. Each of these pieces signal inventive new voices in movie marketing--SMART voices, finally:

Intriguing. THE TREE OF LIFE (Terrence Malick, 2011)

Chilling. RED STATE (Kevin Smith, 2011)

Moving. BLUE VALENTINE (Derek Cianfrance, 2010)

Funny. SUPER (James Gunn, 2011)

Exciting. SUPER 8 (J.J. Abrams, 2011)
