Bring Your Reel Friends. It’s time to roll out the BIG summer movies – BIG action, BIG comedy, BIG special effects, BIG box office. Check out what’s about to take off at the Washington, D.C. Film Society’s “COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT, Summer 2008” – and bring your reel friends. Get an early preview of summer’s biggest blockbusters while viewing trailers amongst fellow film fans. It all starts at 7:00pm, Wednesday, May 14, 2008, at Landmark’s E Street Cinema (E Street between 10th & 11th St, N.W.). Tickets are on sale at the door only beginning at 6:00pm.

Once again, you’ll get to be the judge of the film studios’ marketing skills by joining local film critics, Joe Barber and Bill Henry, in a dissection and no-holds-barred give and take of each trailer. PLUS, attendees get to vote on the films they’re most looking forward to (or not) and we pass this information on to the studios. Summertime typically is the season when the top moneymakers are unleashed. Will this year’s selections live up to the hype? You decide if the buzz is believable.
