After Lock Stock and Snatch, Guy Ritchie sort of fell off the movie world’s radar.  He’s still searching for the movie that will disprove the Madonna curse and return him to his God-like pre-Swept Away status.  He almost did it with Revolver, but then decided two of the characters were actually physical manifestations of Jason Statham’s character’s imagination (perhaps the lamest, most faux-high brow movie cliché in the history of movie clichés).

His new film RocknRolla opens in October and involves rockstars, the London underground, guns, and shady Russians, and stars Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton, Jeremy Piven and Chris Ludaris Bridges.  It looks promising and I really hope it’s good, but even if it sucks that’s not going to keep me from commando rolling around the theater and shooting people with my finger guns.  Shoyne ya boots, guv?  …Sorry, I know that makes no sense, but it’s the only thing I can say in a Cockney accent.

Trailer after the jump 

After the jump I’ve got the full-length trailer for Recount, HBO Films’ send up of the 2000 Florida election debacle.  It stars Kevin Spacey, Denis Leary, Tom Wilkinson, and Laura Dern – whoring it up as that whore Katherine Harrison (pictured). It premieres May 25th on HBO.

Hollywood producers know that there’s nothing we Americans like watching more than movies about the breakdown of our democracy.  It’s like when Tom Petty wrote all those kickass songs about our crumbling infrastructure.  Anyway, this whole mess could’ve been avoided by not allowing Floridians to vote like I suggested years ago.

Look, I don't care how many infants he has sex with, I still like George Clooney as an actor.  His masculine jawline makes me believe I can trust him.

In Michael Clayton, (which, oddly enough, is my porn name), he plays a lawyer hired to take over a case in which the original lawyer (Tom Wilkinson) decides to go nuts and pull an Erin Brockovich.  You may remember Wilkinson as the mob boss in Batman Begins.  As for me?  Hell, you'll never forget.
