This Week in Trailers: 'Nine,' 'The Road,' 'Gamer'

It didn't seem like this past week was going to give us much to talk about when it came to movie trailers. And then it was Thursday, and two Best Picture candidates (really) debuted their first video. Will The Road and Nine get nominations? They're certainly in the discussion, and while the trailer for The Road is a bit baffling, Nine looks like an exceptional bit of entertainment with arguably the strongest cast ever put in a musical. The other films this week are all smaller in scope, but I think you'll find two or three of them that are worth the time. Viggo Mortensen in the Cormac McCarthy adaptation, The Road The musical Nine with Daniel Day-Lewis and eight actresses, five of them Oscar winners Gerard Butler in Gamer Sundance favorite Precious Anime goes live action in Blood: The Last Vampire The smart British political satire In the Loop Michael Douglas embodies Gordon Gekko in a coutroom in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
