“Crossing Over”, the drama movie that teams up Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd, Sean Penn and Ray Liotta, has welcomed its first trailer. Telling the stories of hopeful immigrants and the immigration enforcement officers, the trailer presents the problems faced by both the immigrants entering Los Angeles in search of better life and the officers working with them.

This Weinstein Company movie follows the struggles of different nationalities’ immigrants in achieving legal status in Los Angeles. Showing the reality the immigrants find when they try to create their own American dream, it deals with the border, document fraud, the asylum and green card process, work-site enforcement, naturalization, the office of counter terrorism and the clash of cultures.

“Crossing Over” comes from “Running Scared” director/writer Wayne Kramer, who is also an immigrant from South America himself. Apart from Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd, Sean Penn and Ray Liotta, it is also supported by Jim Sturgess, Alice Eve and Alice Braga among others. It will be released in U.S. theaters on December 3.

“Crossing Over” Trailer:

I just found a different one picture of upcoming movie “Crossing Over”. Alice is being arrested by “Indiana Jones” Harrison Ford in this one, too.
Also, added 5 new pictures of VMB. Enjoy!

“Blindness” is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach.

Like most dramatic thrillers, this emotional roller coaster of a film will leave you feeling a little bummed, totally exhausted and a lot better about your personal problems.

“Blindness” exhibited all the elements of a great film - except a complete or rational plot.

From the very beginning of this picture, the audience is tossed carelessly into an unrealistic national epidemic of sightlessness.

I like to imagine what writer Don McKellar could have invented as the cause for such an improbable plague, because he didn’t bother to mention it in the film.

They’re also have both, teaser and theatrical trailers up to download. Both files are huge (something about 45mb), because you’ll find 3 sizes with two different format each of the trailers, in high quality. I’ve already download it and will be displaying it here for download soon. I’ve also did some high quality screencaptures of Alice scenes in the theatrical trailer:

And last, but not least, do not forget to check the Miramax’ Youtube Channel and Blindness official website.

Alice attended a special screening of Blindness today, in New York, alongside co-stars Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and Dennis Glover. She looks stunning! I’ve added some pictures of this event, as you can see the preview here:

But also added some new pictures to our gallery of several albums, mostly HQ sized. I hope you enjoy!
