Can you believe that, come Valentine's Day, it will have been almost exactly one year since we last saw roughly a dozen celebrities of various caliber crammed into a single romantic comedy in which every other piece of dialogue has to reiterate the title? (See He's Just Not That Into You, web-slingers.) Thankfully, that will be the exact day that a new VoltRom-Com takes the throne, appropriately titled Valentines Day.

Oct 12 2007 'Charlie Wilson's War' Trailer, Y'all

Wouldn't you love to see Tom Hanks's role as a smooth-talking southern gentleman from Ladykillers implanted in a political thriller based on real-world events, like the CIA's arming of Afghan forces in the '80s? The makers of Charlie Wilson's War are really, really hoping you do. They'll even throw in Philip Seymour Hoffman and Julia Roberts in an unconvincing blonde wig.
