Trailer Tuesday: Somewhere, Tangled, Rango

Two news trailers, and one new... wind-up fish? We'll get to that later. Lets start with the only serious film in this batch of trailers, Somewhere. The Sofia Coppola directed film looks to be a story of a father and his daughter, and their relationship while they live... well, somewhere. It's never explicitely stated where they are, but maybe that's the point of the film. Personally, I can't tell what to makeof the film by the trailer. It's a teaser, so it's pretty elusive to the point, but it looks kind of interesting. I already love Elle Fanning infinitely more than her sister Dakota who, lets face it, has passed her better years. The same can be said of any actor currently starring in Twilight.

Moving on to the more whimsical in nature, we get to Tangled, the animated film from Disney (not Pixar). I'm often a little split on Disney's non-Pixar fare, both live-action and animated. Where I really enjoyed Meet the Robinsons, I didn't care much for The Princess and the Frog, and only mildly enjoyed Bolt. So where is this film likely to land? In the lower half of the bunch. I'm sorry, but this one just looks so cute I could puke. There's a point where a film gets too adorable for its own good, and Tangled skips past that. It's a princess comedy, but not in the parodic way that Enchanted was. Just in the not really that funny way.

Finally getting to Rango, which wasn't really a trailer as much as a moving poster. What was it? A wind up goldfish floating across a desert. Interesting concept? Yes. Confusing concept? Yes, again. Then again, what would you expect from the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy? This.
