If you’re going to see CLOVERFIELD because you’re looking for an in-depth character study or some sort of psychological thriller about an unknown creature or even some version of LOST in Manhattan, please move on.

Now that we've shown you some of the posters from a few of the flicks at Sundance, we thought we'd show you some of the trailers that caught our eye. Check out the goods on these four films which are getting some buzz at Sundance. You might be able to see 'em next year at a multiplex near you. We have trailers for the films DOWNLOADING NANCY, GOLIATH, and IN BRUGES and THE YEAR OF GETTING TO KNOW US. Check them out and let us know if they're something you'd go see.
