Robin Hood’s lengthy third trailer is a movie in its own right; it’s packed with with plenty of dialog and plot exposition yet still delivers on action, robs from the rich, and gives to the poor.

No word on a U.S. release, but this kick-ass trailer for Suck doesn’t suck: the rock-and-roll vampire comedy stars Rob Stefaniuk with Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, and Malcolm McDowell.

We could say something pithy about Trailer For Every Oscar-Winning Movie Ever Made, but it’s so meta we’ll forever be wondering if we’re just another protagonist in a clichéd plotline.

The second Iron Man 2 trailer is up and runs over 2 minutes; no surprises here in terms of awesomeness (it is), but we’ll be “brief” and say that it’s worth watching all the way to the end.
