Welcome to a brand new weekly feature here at WorcesterMovies.com, “Trailer Stash.” As a remedy to Monday morning, we will offer up a quintet of trailers for your information, entertainment and misappropriation of company time while at work. We will do our best to theme them appropriately, though if we’re really tired from watching movies all weekend, they might be just five trailers that we want to share.Make sure you have QuickTime installed, as most of the trailers we share with you will be in that format (yes, we are Mac loyalists).

I WANT SOMEONE TO EAT CHEESE WITH [In Limited Release] - Anyone who stayed up late last night watching the rebirth of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on HBO will know that show’s co-star and executive producer, Jeff Garlin. He’s on triple duty here — writing, directing and starring in this tale of a lovelorn, nearly-40-year-old guy (Garlin) who finally meets a girl who gets him (Sarah Silverman), who may or may not be a “chubby chaser.” In limited release now, but available on IFC’s on-demand service, IFC In Theaters (on some cable systems).
GREAT WORLD OF SOUND [Sept. 14] - A regular Southern guy named Martin (Pat Healy of Rescue Dawn) answers an ad to work with a company called Great World of Sound that claims to make real the dreams of would-be musicians, signing up a lot of William Hungs and no Kelly Clarksons. Slowly, he realizes that the company is not all that it seems, and the scammer becomes the scammed. A 2007 Sundance Film Festival favorite.
SYDNEY WHITE [Sept. 21] - This Snow White and the Seven Dorks stars the comically gifted (and terrifically cute) Amanda Bynes (Hairspray) as a college freshman who ditches her sorority and is taken in by seven downtrodden young geek, who aid her in her quest to return the college campus to the status quo by taking down the campus royalty.
THE COMEBACKS [Oct. 19] - In the same way Scary Movie skewered popular horror films, this one goes after sports dramas like Miracle and Radio (to name just a couple). Just-plain-funny and perpetually employed comic actor David Koechner plays a losing football coach who must mold his team of misfits into a winning squad. One glimmer of hope for this one is that it is from the producer of Wedding Crashers. A black mark would be that the same producer also had something to do with unleashing Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj upon the world. And the director also made the Rob Schneider floater The Hot Chick.
DRILLBIT TAYLOR [March 21, 2008] - Here’s an all-star comedy line-up for you (and don’t read that with any hint of sarcasm, either): Star Owen Wilson, writer and ’80s movie god John Hughes (using his pen name, Edmond Dantes) and producer Judd Apatow, riding high on his summer hits, Knocked Up and Superbad. The story is about some kids who hire a homeless guy (Wilson) to serve as their bodyguard, and the trailer does look pretty funny.
