Here is the trailer for Warner Bros upcoming film THE INFORMANT!. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale and Melanie Lynskey. THE INFORMANT! hits theatres on September 18, 2009

What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company’s multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion. But before all that can happen, the FBI needs evidence, so Whitacre eagerly agrees to wear a wire and carry a hidden tape recorder in his briefcase, imagining himself as a kind of de facto secret agent. Unfortunately for the FBI, their lead witness hasn’t been quite so forthcoming about helping himself to the corporate coffers. Whitacre’s ever-changing account frustrates the agents and threatens the case against ADM as it becomes almost impossible to decipher what is real and what is the product of Whitacre’s rambling imagination. Based on the true story of the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history.

Family. What exactly does that mean to you? A Dad, Mom, some kids maybe? If you are a fan of the Ice Age movies, then you know that a family is much more than just that. Manny, Ellie, Sid and Diego are back, but this time things are much more settled, or at least that’s what one would think. Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting their first bundle of joy and the preparations don’t always seem to include everyone. Manny is the ever nervous expectant Dad while Ellie is the picture of calm. In each of the two previous installments there seemed to be a migration towards a different era. In the first one they were preparing themselves for the ice age and on route, came across one another. In part two, the ice begins to melt and their migration takes them to a land closer to the climate they are accustomed to and pleasantly Manny finds love with the large yet lovely Ellie.
