Today’s update, which includes yesterday’s update, is below. Three new trailers (Hanna, Rango and Your Highness) and three new posters (The Fighter, The Green Hornet and Hop).

HANNA

	Plot Summary: The daughter of a CIA agent is assigned a special mission by her father. Release Date: April 8, 2011
	Trailer	Poster
	Rating: B+ Commentary: Just the audacity of the project is enough to make it intriguing. The score is a bit off-kilter, which helps keep the film feel fresh and inventive.	Rating: None Commentary: None available.
	Trailer Link: Yahoo Movies Trailers Oscar Chances: It’ll be hard to figure this into the Oscar race since it just doesn’t seem like something the Academy would enjoy.

YOUR HIGHNESS

	Plot Summary: Two brothers, one noble the other incompetent embark on a quest to save a fair princess. Release Date: April 8, 2011
	Trailer	Poster
	Rating: C+ Commentary: The trailer combines farcical elements with traditional fantasy, but fails to blend them successfully, creating a trailer that’s partly funny, partly serious and never fully competent.	Rating: C Commentary: A semi-action poster that lacks chemistry or appeal. The color scheme is haphazard and the images outlandish without being funny.
	Trailer Link: Apple Trailers Oscar Chances: I doubt it will figure into the Oscars, but its best chances lie within the tech categories, especially art direction and costume design.

RANGO, trailer #2

	Plot Summary: An animated feature about a chameleon with an identity crisis. Release Date: March 4, 2011
	Trailer	Poster
	Rating: C- Commentary: This obnoxious trailer tries to poke fun at the western while trying to appeal to kids, yet failing to do either. It doesn’t look at all entertaining.	Previous Preview: Rango

HOP, poster #3

	Plot Summary: A mixture of live action and animation, the story involves a live action man named Fred who accidentally injures the animated Easter Bunny and must take him into his home while he recovers and learn lessons about growing up. Release Date: April 1, 2011
	Trailer	Poster
	Previous Preview: Hop	Rating: B- Commentary: Having an Easter film with a Christmas-themed poster is a bit pedantic, but it doesn’t look too awful and will keep the film in its target demo’s sights longer.

THE FIGHTER, poster #2

	Plot Summary: A down-on-his-luck fighter struggles to bring himself and his family prosperity and when the opportunity presents itself he has to decide if he really wants to go all the way. Release Date: December 2010
	Trailer	Poster
	Previous Preview: The Fighter	Rating: C+ Commentary: Traditional seems to fit a film that has been referred to in such terms. It’s neither exceptional nor exacting, but sufficient.

	Plot Summary: After his father is murdered, a millionaire playboy joins his father’s closest confidant in a scheme to get close to the murderers by posing as criminals. Release Date: January 14, 2011
	Trailer	Poster
	Previous Preview: The Green Hornet	Rating: C Commentary: Like the lamentable trailers associated with this advertising campaign, producers can’t seem to find a style that fits.
