January 2011 Movie Trailers for New Movie Releases

Watch new movie trailers for January 2011 releases with cast and plot summaries, release dates, ratings, and the early buzz for these new films.

JANUARY 7 NEW MOVIE TRAILERS:

Season of the Witch: A knight (Nicolas Cage) transports a witch blamed for causing the plague. The trailer looks afflicted too with people yelling for more holy water. It's rated PG-13 for violence.

JANUARY 14 NEW MOVIE TRAILERS:

The Green Hornet: The masked superhero of 1930s radio and 1960s TV gets his own movie starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou. Newspaper publisher Britt Reid fights crime with sidekick Kato in a funny action film with a PG-13 rating for violence, language, and sensuality.

The Dilemma: A man can't decide if he should tell his best friend that his wife is cheating. The real dilemma is whether audiences will stay away because of a dumb line about electric cars being "gay." This new film directed by Ron Howard and starring Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, and Winona Ryder is rated PG-13 for sexuality.

Barney's Version: No, not the purple dinosaur. This is Barney Panofsky from a novel by Mordecai Richler who's like a less famous Saul Bellow. Paul Giamatti gives a great performance in flashbacks of his multiple marriages, but it's still kind of inert. Rated R for language and sex.

JANUARY 21 NEW MOVIE TRAILERS:

The Company Men: Sundance audiences voiced disappointment with this tale of corporate downsizing. Starring Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones with an R rating for language and nudity.

No Strings Attached: Two people (Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher) start a physical relationship and discover they want something more. I already want less especially since a virtually identical movie called "Friends With Benefits" is scheduled for July with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The January 2011 movie is rated R for sex, language, and drugs.

The Way Back: Director Peter Weir presents a fact-based story of soldiers who escape a Siberian gulag in 1940. Telluride audiences sounded mostly positive especially for Colin Farrell's performance. This new film is rated PG-13 for violence and mature themes.

JANUARY 28 NEW MOVIE RELEASES:

Biutiful: I've never seen a bad movie with Javier Bardem, and the reaction from Cannes and Telluride confirms this is promising. A man dying from cancer looks for beauty in his seedy surroundings. Rated R for sexuality, language and disturbing images.

The Mechanic: A remake of the 1972 hit man film.

The Rite: Another exorcism but it's got Anthony Hopkins.
