If It's Anything At All It's Pornography."]]> The trailer for Rage, Sally Potter's fashion industry whodunnit, makes the movie look like either the most ambitiously brilliant — or over-its-head silly — thing the British filmmaker has done since her 1992 adaptation of Orlando with Tilda Swinton.

For one thing, Jude Law stars, in drag, as a supermodel named Minx. Lily Cole, glimpsed here briefly in the trailer, plays model Lettuce Leaf; Dame Judi Dench is the fashion critic, and Simon Abkarian, who starred in Potter's 2005 film Yes, does a brilliant-looking turn as a very Galliano-esque fashion designer named Merlin. Even Eddie Izzard, Steve Buscemi, John Leguizamo, and Dianne Wiest pop up in the ensemble cast.

Apparently, the movie — which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year and was nominated for the Golden Bear — proceeds entirely in the form of interviews, apparently recorded by a young film student backstage at fashion house where an accident on the runway becomes the subject of a murder investigation. Michelangelo, as the unseen film student is known, posts the confessional clips on the Internet. Whether the technique of forcing the audience to imagine all the plot's action will lead to filmic brilliance — or maddening frustration — can't be judged from a trailer alone. But on the strength of the visuals — Jude Law preening in a corset, Eddie Izzard in a three-piece suit — and the writing — photographer Steve Buscemi musing on shooting people versus shooting people, Judi Dench comparing fashion to "pornography to which millions are addicted" — we're excited to find out.

<![CDATA[Josh Peck Is Teh Hotness In The Wackness]]> I have such a soft wet spot for the suburban poseur guys some would call "Jew wiggers." Former Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh star Josh Peck plays one in The Wackness, and he grew up to be so HOT. (Seriously, who would've thought? He's the one on the right here.) The film takes place in 1994 in Manhattan, and while some of the '90s references are really heavy handed, many of them are totally welcome for those of us who remember the era fondly, especially those of us who love early '90s hip hop and R&B. I saw a screening, and chuckled to myself when there was talk of $30 bags of weed. They're never sold in that increment anymore! And why not? Also, the dialog is at times hilarious. ("I'm mad depressed, yo!" Peck says to Kingsley, in one scene.) Anyway, this is the movie in which Mary-Kate Olsen has a "love scene" with Ben Kingsley. Kinda disturbing and weird. It's in theaters July 3. Check out the trailer, above.
