Trailer Of The Week - Whiplash

Released in UK cinemas this past Friday, Whiplash also received five Oscar nominations last week including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for J. K. Simmons. It's a film I'm keen to see sooner rather than later; based on the trailer and the critical reaction thus far, it looks to be deserving of the recognition its received. I doubt you'll ever look at Simmons again and be able to think of him as J. Jonah Jameson from Raimi's Spider-Man films either, his performance here seemingly terrifying in its intensity.
