This week's batch is short, but sweet. We've got the first trailer for George Clooney's latest black and white project. Clooney's a handsome guy, but somehow he looks even better without color. Then there's the first real ad for Condon's Dreamgirls. It's also Eddie Murphy's first real movie in longer than I care to remember. Lastly, in the Trailer Trash oddity slot is a spot for Farce of the Penguins. Find out how raunchy a Bob Saget directed penguin movie can be.



The Good German
The first full trailer for The Good German is online. It takes place in the ruins of post-WWII Berlin, where U.S. Army war correspondent Jake Geismar (George Clooney) becomes embroiled with Lena Brandt (Cate Blanchett), a former lover who is trying to escape her past in the aftermath of the war. Intrigue mounts as Jake tries to uncover the secrets Lena may be hiding in her desperation to get out of Berlin. Tully (Tobey Maguire), a soldier in the American army motor pool assigned to drive Jake around the city, has black market connections that may be Lena’s way out – or lead them all into even darker territory:

Dreamgirls
The full trailer for Dreamgirls is available, but only on MTV's overdrive. Use the link below to attempt to find it. Set in the turbulent late 1960s and early ‘70s, “Dreamgirls” follows the rise of a trio of women—Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyoncé Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose)—who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx), who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James “Thunder” Early (Eddie Murphy). Curtis gradually takes control of the girls’ look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams.

Farce of the Penguins
Hollywood's penguin obsession continues… sort of. Basically, a bunch of comedians have taken what looks like leftovers from March of the Penguins, hired Samuel L. Jackson to narrate it, and have the penguins delivering the raunchiest jokes imaginable. The number of big comedy names involved is impressive. Bob Saget directs, Louis Black, Jason Alexander, Christina Applegate, James Belushi, Jason Biggs, Dane Cook, Dave Coulier, Whoop Goldberg, Gilbert Godfriend, Alyson Hannigan, Jamie Kennedy, John Lovitz, Norm MacDonald and a whole bunch of other famous people further down the alphabet do voices. And it's dirty. Filthy even. So filthy, that the trailer has been red banded. Watch without the kids in the room:
