The sensational, must-see trailers for Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy (2011) showcase an incredible cast

This is an absolute must-see film; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011)  ranks in the top ten of my Most Anticipated Films list, partly because the novel was outstanding as well.  Given its release date, it will have to compete with the mega-blockbuster Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1, though if you choose that movie over this one then perhaps this isn’t as appealing to you.  Nonetheless, after watching the two provided previews you should be lining up to buy your ticket(s) already.  The first trailer displays brooding suspicion backed by part of Danny Elfman’s The Wolfman score, which helps elevate the preview to one of the year’s best.  The second trailer ups the intensity and utilizes one of this year’s best scores in Henry Jackman’s “Frankenstein’s Monster” from X-Men: First Class, also one of my favorite films of the year (full review HERE).  Aside from the creative genius found in the trailers, the film features an impeccable cast of British actors.  Hopefully Gary Oldman will finally get the awards-recognition he deserves; this film is a great opportunity for him to do so.

The initial trailer for War Horse (2011) promises another tear-jerking Spielberg-directed war epic.

When you put Steven Spielberg together with World War II material, you get some of the finest filmmaking ever to grace the silver screen.  In fact, of all the blockbusters that have given him celebrity, he has only won Best Director twice: for Schindler’s List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998).  When he announced that he would make yet another war epic, though this time regarding World War I, many people went ballistic and would surely blitzkrieg to a nearby theater as soon as its released.  War Horse (2011) seems to have all the ingredients for an amazing yet heart-breaking war story, complete with master composer John Williams scoring the film.
