2008 The Girlie Show ?

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with last minute 2007 releases and upcoming awardage decisions --so many strong movies this year. How will I choose the filmbitch awards? So to play hooky from my "duties" I'm watching trailers for next year. After this manly holiday season of No Country for Old Men, demon barbers, There Will Be Blood, and Will Smith as the only person alive, next year is looking pretty girly.

clockwise from top left: Mamma Mia, Sex & The City, The Accidental Husband, and 27 Dresses




I have intense reservations about all of these and I fully expect to hate one of them, but for easy to identify reasons (Umaphilia, Streep, Marsden, SJP) I'm eager to see them, too.

One more thing: For reasons I shan't understand ever, the international trailer for Mamma Mia (below, thx) is more Meryl focused. Therefore better. What -- they don't think Americans worship LaStreep? Are they daft?
