I have a particular soft spot for dogs. Maybe it’s because they are so cute and lovable, or maybe it’s because unlike humans, they can never lie to you or make racist comments at Thanksgiving. It is probably because of this that watching a dog die on film can be much harder than watching a human die. I don’t know, maybe I’m a sociopath.

Along comes White God, a film in which an army of abandoned and neglected dogs join together and get revenge on mankind. Did you hear that? THERE’S A DOG ARMY.

  • Southern California? Check
  • Ambient score? Check
  • Insanely detailed period piece details? Check
  • Promise of random, brutal violence? Check

Okay, now we’re talking.

Are You Here: The Promising (and Possibly Misleading) First Trailer

The first trailer for Are You Here, the first feature film directed by Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, was released earlier today. While apparently early reviews weren’t too great, Are You Here had me at Matthew Weiner. It also had me at Amy Poehler, Zach Galifianakis, and Owen Wilson.
