This week, we're looking at two wide releases: J.J. Abrams' anticipated "Star Trek" reboot with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Bruce Greenwood, Eric Bana, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg and John Cho; and Benny Boom's comedy "Next Day Air" with Donald Faison, Mike Epps and Mos Def:

STAR TREK

Synopsis: The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

Funny trailer for 'Next Day Air' hits web

This one looks rather funny.

I'm talking about the trailer for Benny Boom's upcoming crime comedy "Next Day Air," which arrives in theaters May 8, 2009.

Here's the film's official synopsis:

When a misguided UPS driver inadvertently delivers a package containing concealed bricks of cocaine to the wrong address, it sets in motion a desperate search and battle for the coke between the furious dealer that sent it, the fearful intended recipients that missed it, and the conniving accidental recipients that plan to flip it.

Time is running out and everyone's trying to get their hands on the package that's been sent...Next Day Air!

As you can see in the preview after the jump, the flick stars Donald Faison, Mos Def, Wood Harris, Mike Epps and Yasmin Deliz. Hey, even Debbie Allen is on board.

While the concept behind "Next Day Air" doesn't sound all too fresh, this footage is funny enough to make me want to see more. As for Faison, you may know him as Dr. Christopher Turk on "[scrubs]."
