Karina is now in Utah, where she’ll be spending the next week and a half covering the Sundance Film Festival. I’ve stayed behind in New York, as I’ve got other obligations. But just because I’m not at the Festival doesn’t mean I can’t pretend — or at least participate. So, starting today I’m going to be reviewing trailers for movies that will be playing at the festival. As of yet, I haven’t found enough trailers to carry me through next Friday, but with hundreds of movies set to screen in Park City over the next ten days, they have to be around somewhere (feel free to direct my attention to some).

First up is a trailer you may have already seen. It’s been out for at least a month, but I figured it made sense to start with it, since the movie, In Bruges, opens the festival tomorrow night. Plus, I’ve embedded the video that begins with an introduction from Oscar-winning writer-director Martin McDonagh. This way, it feels like you’re really at the Sundance premiere, where movies are almost always introduced by their makers. Of course, here there’s no Q&A afterward, but feel free to direct your questions at the computer screen and imagine McDonagh giving you a reply. Isn’t make believe fun?

Now pretend like you’ve also just watched the whole movie instead of a trailer. It shouldn’t be difficult; the trailer seems to give us everything we need: hitmen, guns, humor, a little person getting knocked to the ground — all the things that helped to make Sundance popular fifteen years ago. Yet instead of having unknown actors and low-cost locations, In Bruges stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes and features the beautiful sights of Bruges, Belgium. Take that, Tarantino!

For those in Park City, In Bruges will play at the Eccles Theatre tomorrow night at 6pm and 9:30pm. It then also plays twice on Friday, once on Saturday and once in Salt Lake City on Sunday.
