Welcome to “Trailer Park,” our regular Friday feature where we collect the week’s new trailers all in one place and do a little “judging a book by its cover,” ranking them from worst to best and taking our best guess at what they may be hiding. This week, we’ve got ten to show you
— everything from new Soderbergh and Clooney movies to, yes, a film adaptation of a board game. Check ‘em all out after the jump.

Of particular note amongst this week’s new DVD and Blu-ray releases is Buried, Rodrigo Cortés’s tense, harrowing tale of a contractor, buried alive, trapped for the duration of the film in a 2’ x 7’ wood coffin. This is a risky formula for movie-making — not only must the filmmakers keep our interest in that confined space, but star Ryan Reynolds undertakes the considerable challenge of holding the audience’s attention, basically by himself, for 90+ minutes. … Read More
For the past six years, Franklin Leonard, a mid-level studio executive, has put together the annual Black List — a compilation of the year’s best unproduced screenplays according to him and 300 or so of his industry pals. But these aren’t just projects that will never see the light of day. A few of the films are in production now, and six of the top 10 screenplays — which we’ve posted after the jump — have already been scooped up by studios. Let us know in the comments what you think sounds the most promising; our money’s on Jackie, a film about Jacqueline Kennedy’s life in the days following her husband’s death, which is set to be directed by Darren Aronofsky. … Read More
This week at BuzzFeed, we taught the world the joys of making your own Four Loko. We gawked, mouth agape, at Emma Watson’s Today Show attire, and were thoroughly charmed by the cast of Harry Potter doing their best American accents. Along with the rest of the internet, we… Read More

Editor’s note: Each Friday, our internet-savvy friends over at BuzzFeed curate a post for us that’s filled with links to some of their favorite items on the web that week. Enjoy!
This week at BuzzFeed, we hung out with the commenters of YouTube, some of whom were cooler than
Ryan Reynolds has played a wisecracking college legend (Van Wilder), a wisecracking vampire hunter (Blade: Trinity), and a wisecracking mutant swordsman (X-Men Origins: Wolverine). It’s a testament to his smarmy charm that he has managed to carve out such a reliable, likable niche. If you’ve grown tired of the shtick, then Buried (which was just snatched up at Sundance by Lionsgate for about $3.2 million) is not the movie for you. … Read More

To absolutely no one’s surprise, Bruno opened at number one this weekend, but signs may not be so good for it’s future. Transformers:RotF fell to third place under the consistent Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. The only other new offering of the week, I Love You, Beth Cooper, came in a weak seventh place (we didn’t even know it had come… Read More
