This Week In Trailers: Slaxx, Truth To Power, Doors, Tina, Snabba Cash

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they're seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?

This week, we put on an angry pair of jeans, learn how to be a private dancer from the OG, spend some time with one of America's most high profile Armenians, see some sci-fi done on the cheap, and get our hands filthy with dirty money.

Director Garin Hovannisian remains focused on the Armenian community.

Millions fill stadiums across the world for the sound of Serj Tankian, the Grammy-winning lead singer of System Of A Down. With exclusive interviews, adventures, and original footage personally filmed by Serj, TRUTH TO POWER allows audiences backstage access to an international rock star whose faith in music not only revolutionized heavy metal, but also world events. Throughout his life, the musician has pursued social justice, harnessing the power of his songs and celebrity for real political change. Serj's voice is equally likely to take on American corporate greed as lambast the corrupt regime of his homeland. His decades-long campaign for formal U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide was finally approved by Congress last year. Governments hate him. People love him.

Hovannisian's last outing, I Am Not Alone, was critically lauded for its focus on how one person can make a difference in their community and their country. It looks like he's doing much of the same with Serj Tankian. Superficially, the trailer hints that it's going to examine the crossroads of artistry and advocacy, and show how some choose to use their higher profile to help those who can't help themselves. The Armenian Genocide is something that doesn't get discussed enough in popular discourse, and to have someone like Serj discussing this, and other politically charged topics, makes the documentary feel less like a puff piece and more like a hard-hitting expose.

Having Joe Berlinger as an executive producer doesn't hurt either. Berlinger has an Oscar nom to his resume for this work on Paradise Lost 3, to say nothing of his directorial expertise for gems like 2004's Metallica: Some Kind of Monster.

Directors Dan Lindsay and T.J Martin know how to make a documentary, as their Oscar win for 2011's Undefeated was well-earned.

A Sky Original that follows the life, career and legacy of 'The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll' Tina Turner.

We take a look at the life and career of a global superstar and an intimate portrait of a woman who overcame extreme adversity to define her career, her identity and her legacy on her own terms.

Charting her impressive rise to early fame, her personal and professional struggles throughout her life and her against all odds revival as a global phenomenon in the 1980s.

Tina Turner is music royalty. The Queen of Rock n' Roll, she ushered in an age of musical supremacy. For decades, she ruled the airwaves. Through radio, television, movies (1985's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is a solid entry), music videos, she was prolific. She only released 10 albums, but that's more than enough to capture the energy and charisma of a true chanteuse like her. The trailer succinctly, if not coyly, tees up her story and the musical impact she had on the world. Of course, if we're only getting her side of the story, it may end up being nothing more than a slow clap for a woman who deserves it. But, with Lindsay and Martin being such sharp directors, here's to hoping it's a winner of a story.
