• Title: Tower Heist
• IMDB: link

I’m a fan of heist flicks, but I’m not quite sure what to make from this first trailer of Brett Ratner‘s latest which stars Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, Michael Peña, Gabourey Sidibe and Casey Affleck as hotel employees who are defrauded out of their pensions by a billionaire (Alan Alda) now under house arrest in their hotel. Eddie Murphy co-stars as the thief they hire to help them get their money back. The trailer doesn’t fill me with a whole lot of confidence, but I did enjoy Ratner’s other attempt at a heist flick so I’m willing to give this one a shot. Tower Heist opens in theaters on November 4th.

• Title: The Ides of March
• IMDB: link

Politics is a dirty business. George Clooney returns both behind and in front of the camera as a Presidential nominee whose idealistic #1 staffer (Ryan Gosling) gets approached to work for the other side (Paul Giamatti). Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Jeffrey Wright also star. The film is based on the play by Beau Willimon about Howard Dean‘s 2004 campaign. The Ides of March opens in theaters on October 7th.
