Whatever about the quality of the movie, The Social Network’s trailer soundtrack – a cover of Radiohead’s Creep by the Scala Choir – has the power to transform any visual into a poignant comment on the human condition.

Any visual, mind you.

Maybe Scott Pilgrim-style animation would have saved the Matrix sequels. Or at least give them a sense of fun they sorely lacked. We can only dream of what could have been with this delightful mash-up.

 Think that looks tough. It took them eight hours to put it together. Watch the arduous process here.

Look at Gorgeous George, all brooding and deep as a good film assassin should be. He’s even got little assassin-ette to keep him company. Expect long silences over coffee as George pins her with a stare and, if she’s lucky, a smirk.  There’ll be talk of honour and escape and he’ll end up dead in a field.

Release Date (Ireland): 26 November 2010

Skyline may have beaten the other aliens-invade-LA-movie Battle: Los Angeles to the punch with this trailer and release date. But, on this evidence, it got there on the cheap with earth coming under attack from a giant vacuum cleaner.

Release Date (Ireland): November 12th

Is it really another Inception parody? Or is it all just a dream within a dream?

No, it’s another parody.

The trailer, which makes Megamind look like a paint-by-numbers take on Superman, only tells part of the story. Our hero triumphs over his do-gooder nemesis, but then realises he’s nothing without his foil (a bit like us and The Irish Times). Here’s hoping it isn’t too smug and self satisfied.

Bonus points to Will Ferrell for turning up to the Megamind panel at Comic Con in full costume:

Release date (Ireland): December 3.
