Justin Timberlake music, crazy hair on display in first official ‘Trolls’ trailer


Trolls have gone far beyond simply being the dolls many of us played with as kids. DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox have released the first official trailer for the upcoming film Trolls, and the world of the bright-haired toys has never been so colorful.

The Trolls trailer kicks off by introducing us to the main characters. First up is Branch (Justin Timberlake), a Troll living in a “heavily fortified survival bunker.” What is he trying to keep out? Poppy (Anna Kendrick), our other protagonist. Unlike Branch, she is “insanely happy,” and that is just more than he can handle apparently.

The two seem unlikely to cross paths, but all that changes when a fearsome creature called a Bergin captures the rest of the Trolls. Poppy goes to Branch and convinces him to join her in rescuing the others, forcing them to deal with one another as they set off on an adventure. Based on the trailer, teamwork doesn’t come naturally to them; Branch has nothing good to say about Poppy’s scrapbooking-centric efforts to save their fellow Trolls, and Poppy is less than pleased when he tries to attack friendly strangers.

Throughout the trailer, we get to see the awesome visual world DreamWorks Animation has created. It is vivid, cheerful, and features creative creatures, including one who poops out cupcakes and Cloud Guy, who rains when he is distressed. The music is fun, too, with Timberlake providing new songs, along with other members of the talented cast. Gwen Stefani, Zooey Deschanel, James Corden, Russell Brand, and more all voice characters.

Trolls is directed by Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn (Shrek Forever After), teaming up once again with producer Gina Shay. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on November 4 and should brighten up the start of fall.

One of HBO’s biggest hits is back. Here’s why you need to stream 2024’s most addictive crime saga
Three people stand at a wedding in The Jinx: Part Two.

On March 15, 2015, the most infamous hot mic moment ever to air on television shocked the world. Real estate scion Robert Durst, who had been implicated, but had thus far escaped justice in three murders committed from 1982 to 2003, inexplicably agreed to sit for a series of interviews with filmmaker Andrew Jarecki. The director had made a fictional feature film, All Good Things, that was loosely based on the disappearance of Durst’s first wife, Kathie, starring Barbie actor Ryan Gosling and Civil War's Kirsten Dunst.

Confronted, finally, with near-irrefutable evidence collected by Jarecki’s team that seemed to implicate Durst in the murder of his best friend Susan Berman in 2001, Durst lumbered off to the bathroom, where, forgetting his microphone was still on, he murmured, “What the hell did I do?  Killed them all, of course.” Such was the ending of The Jinx, a phenomenon for HBO when it aired more than nine years ago. But there was more story still to tell, and Jarecki’s follow-up, The Jinx: Part Two, now airing on HBO and streaming on Max, bucks the odds by sustaining the intensity and pure weirdness with which The Jinx concluded nearly a decade ago.

10 best action-comedies of all-time, ranked
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it's the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often.

This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it's technically based on a TV series from the '80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless, that's as good a reason as any to update our list of the best action comedies of all time. It would be too easy to load up this list with films from the '80s and '90s, when action comedies were at their peak. However, we've also saved some slots for more recently released action comedies that deserve some recognition as well.
