RYAN: It's a big week this Trailer Tuesdays with lots of new movies coming out. Let's start with one of the two we're most excited about.CAROLINE: I seriously can't wait for "The Invention of Lying." It stars one of our faves, Jennifer Garner, and also Ricky Gervais, who I'm a little bit in love with in an intellectual way after last year's "Ghost Town."
RYAN: You're just saying that because he's smart, funny, fat and ugly.CAROLINE: [laughs] I can't say he's super attractive, but I really like him and I think this movie looks hilarious and perfect for him.
RYAN: He has a way of always working on stuff he's written or picking parts that are very much his sensibility, which to me implies that he's not a great actor. We may get to the point where we realize he's the same in every movie; but we're not there yet.
CAROLINE: He's only starred in a couple movies so far, so we'll see. I just love the premise of this one, that no one in the world can lie. Everyone speaks the brutal truth, obviously to hilarious effect. It looks great - here's the trailer:
RYAN: Next up is "Whip It," Drew Barrymore's directorial debut which stars Ellen Page of "Juno" fame. And Drew is in it too.
CAROLINE: Not to mention our favorite gal from "SNL," Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis and Marcia Gay Harden as Ellen Page's mom. I'm so looking forward to this movie. It's about roller derby and we've been hearing about it for months. It better deliver.RYAN: It looks very fun and silly, and I love how Ellen and Drew have been doing some racy girl-on-girl promotion for it.
CAROLINE: I like how they wear girl scout uniforms as their roller derby outfits.
RYAN: I think it'll be good, but I'm willing to bet Drew Barrymore had lots of help with the directing.
CAROLINE: True, but it looks like a real girl power movie, which is right up Drew's alley. I can't wait. Check out the trailer here:
RYAN: There's also a new Michael Moore documentary out, "Capitalism: A Love Story."
CAROLINE: I think I've reached my Michael Moore tipping point. I'm tired of his rants, and this movie just seems annoying. He's just trying to rile people up with whatever the hot topic of the day is.RYAN: It's possible that he's maxed out his pop cultural relevance, but I still like his storytelling techniques. As far as documentaries go, his are always entertaining at the very least.
CAROLINE: I just don't understand his whole campaign about losing weight. He's still as fat as ever.
RYAN: [laughs] And why must he put his disheveled self in all of his movies? Here's the trailer:
CAROLINE: Also worth mentioning, though we're not quite as excited for it, is the new Coen brothers movie, "A Serious Man." I've only seen the trailer once and it was very odd. I don't think I understand it.
RYAN: Well, the Coens are known for being a little bit twisted in their movie making. But there's no one famous in this, which irritates me.CAROLINE: And the whole trailer is set to music in a very grating way. I'm not really feeling this movie.
RYAN: I'm with you. But it is the Coens - we should probably give it a shot. Check out the trailer here:
CAROLINE: Finally, Woody Harrelson has a strange-looking new movie, "Zombieland."
RYAN: It co-stars Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg and lil' Abigail Breslin, but I'd rather not get into it. This movie doesn't appeal to me even a little.CAROLINE: Yeah, the trailer is basically just a series of zombie killings. I don't really get it. Here's the trailer:
