Watch: Nicole Kidman Goes White Trash In Swampy, Sweaty Trailer For 'The Paperboy'
Well, if anything, Lee Daniels' much-talked-about "The Paperboy" will at least be interesting.

Watch: Lee Daniels Is Playing With iMovie Transitions Again In New Clip From 'The Paperboy'
Remember Lee Daniels juxataposing a rape scene with the carving of a turkey in "Precious"? Yeah, subtlety isn't exactly the director's strong point, showy, sub-film-student directorial flourishes having tarnished his previous film, and the helmer is at it again with the uneccessary iMovie transition...
