The month of April in films ... trailers? OK, just us judging books (movies) by their covers (trailers)

LEATHERHEADS | OPENS 4.4.08

Once, football wasn't an oppressive and dominant force that bringing us such joy 18/19ths of the time. Professional football leagues went bankrupt, the games were lawless donnybrooks and all the sports reporters were men

DEFINITELY, MAYBE

Three things can always make a woman coo: babies, baby animals and men taking care of babies. In Definitely, Maybe Ryan Reynolds dons the daddy -role to Abigail Breslin's little bundle of cuteness, but his stunning lack of talent will be more likely to cause gagging than cooing.

FOOL'S GOLD

This is basically a movie-version of the all-too-familiar tabloid photos of Matthew McConaughey running around shirtless on a beach.

WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY

OPENS 11.2

Remember that kid from Almost Famous? Whatever happened to that kid? He's back in the limelight as the hapless hero in this indier-than-thou dark comedy from Croatian director Goran Dukic. When Zia (aforementioned Almost Famous kid Patrick Fugit) offs himself, he wakes up in a limbo reserved for suicide victims. Cue ... road trip? With Tom Waits? Holy emo haircut, Batman! Wristcutters could either be the best doom-on-the-open-road comedy since Thelma & Louise, or an insufferable display of po-mo pud-pulling. Either way, bring along the Prozac.

SHARKWATER

OPENS 11.2

Word up, humanity: Apparently, sharks are wicked misunderstood. They don't want to eat people-they want to eat other stuff. You can even give a shark a big ol' hug! At least, filmmaker Rob Stewart does. Sharkwater hones in on our skewed perspective of sharks; just cause they're not adorable like dolphins or manatees doesn't mean they don't deserve our love. Traveling around the world, Stewart argues that sharks are a vital part of the ecosystem, and should be protected. Expect plenty of footage of mangled shark carcasses on the land and shark-lovin' underwater.
