Exam trailer

This is a one room movie.  Apparently the entire things happens in this one exam room.  That puts a huge amount of pressure on the acting and the script, and I love it.  Directors have to have a lot of confidence in themselves and the script to successfully make this kind of movie. Movies like Panic Room, and TV shows like In Treatment kinda go for the same kind of thing, just raising the pressure but never the scope of the movie.  It’s a lot of fun for me, but I know a lot of people don’t enjoy it.

This story is very interesting, it makes you wonder what you would do.  Personally I would probably never want a job that much.  But if I did somehow get into this room then I think I would attempt to give up immediately, and I’d probably get shot or something.

Toy Story 3 trailer 2

The first movie that made me cry was Toy Story.  The most recent was Up.  Pixar knows how to get me.  (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button made me cry the most though, that was rough.)  I’m 100% sure that I will be crying during Toy Story 3.  The thought of Andy growing up and forgetting about his toys makes me sad now.  I’m a slightly nostalgic person, and losing ones innocence and childhood seems like the worst thing.

Daybreakers trailer 2

Now that we have a brief respite between Twilight movies let’s take a look at a good vampire movie.  This trailer isn’t too different from the first trailer, but that’s alright, probably you never watched that one anyways.  Here’s the rundown on the plot.  The vampires have taken over the world and they’re running out of humans.  But secretly the humans are building resistence cells.  Also there’s a cure for the vampires.  Add that to some gloriously good cinematography and some good actors and I think we have an exciting movie.

The Last Station trailer

Oscar bait.  That sums up this movie.  I’m sure it’s a good movie, but you don’t hire Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer and Paul Giamatti without the Oscars on your mind.  Also the fact that it’s about the drama in Leo Tolstoy’s personal life doesn’t hurt.  I won’t pretend that I know anything about Tolstoy, but War & Peace is somewhere on my list of books to read (sure it is).

And look it’s Octavia of the Julii.

Youth in Revolt trailer 2

This is pretty much the same as the first trailer.  And I’m excited in the same half-hearted way.  I just miss Arrested Development so much that any movie with actors from the show gets me excited.

This trailer reveals a few more actors, Steve Buscemi, and Justin Long.  Neither of these actors interest me (I wonder if anyone gets excited about a Steve Buscemi movie, hmm).  They do give Zach Galifianakis more scenes, that’s always a good thing.  Mr Galifianakis makes me happy.  I love to see how far he came so quickly.

Greenberg trailer

Ben Stiller rarely motivates me into seeing a movie.  Even though he is in my favorite movie (guess what that is) and he did quite good in Tropic Thunder, I still don’t feel the need to see any of the movies that he makes.  This is an exception.  He looks quite good in this movie, although he looks like he’s lost a huge amount of weight.

This movie was written and directed by Noah Baumbach, who is insisting that he is a good director.  He’s probably right, but it does seem quite forced sometimes.  He did write The Life Aquatic, and he had something to do with the Fantastic Mr. Fox.  He seems to excel at depicting lost 30 year olds (that seems to be a big theme in movie and TV these days).  Anywho, this is another movie with that same situation.

Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side trailer

About two years ago Family Guy aired their hilarious Star Wars episode.  Despite that being the best Family Guy episode in recent history it took them a long time to finally release this one.  I’m sure this episode/movie will be just as good as the original, but surely it didn’t have to take this long.  And I hope they don’t wait this long for the Return of the Jedi parody.

I still have s light problem with the “casting”.  Cleveland should have been Lando.  Instead they made him Artoo, and they have Mort playing Lando.  And Joe should have been Artoo.  Mort jokes won’t make any sense coming out of Lando.  Besides that it looks good.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief trailer 2

This movie is looking better and better.  I’m still not excited about the American setting, but I’ll live with it.  The cast is looking great.  Uma Thurman looks pretty outrageous.  I don’t look forward to Pierce Brosnan’s transformation.  Rosario Dawson is looking great, I wish she got better roles, it seems like she doesn’t get in enough good movies.  The kids look OK, I can imagine that the girl is going to reach a Hermione level of annoying very quickly.

The Wolfman trailer 3

Another trailer, more story.  I don’t really have anything more to say about this one.  The cast is glorious and the sets are amazing.  I’m not one for horror movies or thrillers, but this looks very good.

This is an “international trailer”,  in other words the subtitles are in another language, in this case french.

Nine trailer 2

This movie is looking very good.  I wonder what’s going to happen at the Oscars this year.  When Chicago was nominated and won almost all of the Oscars back in 2002 people were shocked.  I was happy, but I wonder if people will give this movie much of a chance.  To say it’s similar to Chicago is an understatement, it relies on most of the same sets, costumes and characters.  I don’t think that’s a bad thing, I loved Chicago, but I hope everyone else remembers how good it was rather than how it didn’t deserve the Oscar.

Regarding the casting, I just heard some really unfortunate news.  The role that went to Nicole Kidman was originally supposed to go to Catherine Zeta Jones.  That would have been better.  I’d rather watch Chicago than Moulin Rouge, any day.  The rest of the cast seems quite good.  Kate Hudson stands out as the most American, least versatile of all the actresses (I don’t count Fergie as an actress), that could be why they gave her this trailer.  About Fergie, you have to admit that she was cast well as a dirty whore.  I hear that Penelope Cruz is going to mask her accent for this movie to make it more Italian.  I’m thrilled, I hate her real accent.  Marion Cotillard is likely going to do the best in this film.  I believe that because she looks like the least assertive out of all these women but you know she’s going to have the best voice and probably be the most likable.  If you saw Public Enemies you know how good she is.  That movie is full of ridiculousness, but she was amazing.
