In today’s trailer bin, nebbishy Paul Giamatti confronts water pixies and werewolves in the new trailer for M.

Rocky VI (Note Paulie & hat), Pixar contributes further to our national oil dependency with another new trailer for Cars (ho-hum), and crossword puzzlers get their day in the sun in this first look from the documentary Word Play. (So that‘s Will Shortz.)
