I was quite pleased during my Eat Pray Love screening on Tuesday to see the trailer for the next long-awaited James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets, Spanglish) dramedy, How Do You Know. The trailer has now made its way online. The film, originally titled Everything You’ve Got, stars Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, and Owen Wilson. I think it looks great and I’m especially happy to see Rudd & Nicholson together. The last gag in the trailer with Wilson is also hilarious. Check out the trailer below via Yahoo.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox is Wes Anderson’s best film since The Royal Tenenbaums. It features his usual shtick including the array of eccentric characters, scene chewing dialog, and being shot on a level of pure beauty. This is an instantly charming, hilarious, and highly entertaining film that bursts with originality.

Mr. Fox (George Clooney) is a thief, he’s the of the best. From stealing chickens to knocking out dogs with poisoned blue berries, he loves the adrenaline rush. Unfortunately, he has to give all that up once his wife Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) becomes pregnant. Once he hangs up the old trade he’s now just a regular old Fox. Making dues as a writer, living the normal family life, and none of this involves his favorite thing: stealing. But once he moves into a new tidy tree home he’s found a thief’s delight. Sitting right across his street is three large factories that include a sweet apple beverage, plenty of meet, and loads of chickens. This is where Mr. Fox turns back to his old ways to pull off one of the biggest heists in Fox History. From then on, it becomes all out warfare between Mr. Fox and the three crazed company owners.
