Kick-Ass teaser

This teaser really misrepresents this movie, or at least the comic-book.  I’m not saying this is a bad teaser, but there’s no doubt that the movie will be significantly more gory and hard-core.

But on to the story.  This is based on a very, very new comic book series about a teenage kid who is bored and depressed (what a unique teenager) so he decides that he should become a superhero.  Things don’t go well, he get’s destroyed.  This comic doesn’t hold back, it may at times look like a comedy, but when people are getting beat-up or killed it doesn’t edit anything.  I hear that the movie does the same thing, and I hope that’s true.  But until we get a red-band trailer we’ll just have to hope.

Date Night teaser

Oh Tina Fey, how I love her character.  Likely she’s going to receive even more backlash for playing that same character again, but that’s her shtick.  I’m really looking forward to this movie.  It’ll be like Thursday night on NBC, except I’ll be paying money.  Honestly though, this movie does look very funny.  These two are hilarious and I look forward to watching them play off each other.  It looks like they have no chemistry, but I think that’s going to make everything a lot more fun.

And look at the rest of the cast.  (BTW, I’ve put the actors and actresses that I like in the tags section, that way I don’t have to mention them every time.)

Bunny and the Bull trailer

I can’t explain this trailer, please don’t ask me to, I just want you to watch it.  Supposedly it’s a movie about a guy who remembers a road trip he took last year.  It’s not actually flashbacks of the trip it’s kinda just reenactments in his apartment using the souvenirs he picked up along the way.  It doesn’t really make sense but it looks hilarious.

Toy Story 3 trailer

Toy Story was a big part of my childhood.  I was raised on Disney movies, and I was 7 when the movie originally came out, pretty much the perfect age for a movie like this.  Anywho, we’re on to the third movie and this one looks like it’ll make me cry more than the other two.  I’ve always been extremely nostalgic, so a movie about leaving toys behind is terribly depressing for me.  Also personification of inanimate objects is a hobby of mine (also a sign of insanity), so this movie is right up my alley.

Where the Wild Things Are tv-spots

I don’t usually post TV-Spots on this blog, there are usually just too many, and if I start posting them I might never stop.  Plus they’re usually just shortened versions of the trailer.  Buuut, Where the Wild Things is going to be my favorite movie this year so I’ll make an exception.  Also there have been an extraordinary amount of TV-Spots for this movie.

And just for the fun of it I’m going to post the rest of the Where the Wild Things Posters.  Apparently a lot of people have used my blog to get posters, that’s fine with me (probably it isn’t fine with the other sites where I get the posters from.)

The Secret of the Kells trailer

I would never have found this trailer if it weren’t for Twitch, my favorite indie movie blog.  They had a great interview with Tomm Moore the director of this film.  (It’s worth checking out Twitch just to see all their awesome banners.)

This is a ridiculously good looking cartoon from Ireland.  It’s distributed by Beuna Vista International, I don’t really know if that’s Disney or not, but that’s nothing but a stamp of approval and a budget so it hardly matters.  I can’t find a lot of information about the movie, there is a lot of ambiguity.  It’s sometimes called Brendan and the Secret of the Kell, and I have no idea when it’s coming to North America, or if it already did.

I shouldn’t actually say this because it’s sure to jinx it, but wouldn’t it be great if this movie was nominated for the animated Oscar.  It’s better than Monsters Vs. Aliens getting nominated.

Anywho, click the poster to watch the trailer.

Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer 2

I’m quite surprised that Wes Anderson released another trailer for this movie, that’s slightly unusual, it’s not like the first trailer was a teaser.  But that’s beside the point.

I’d say this trailer is targetted more at adults rather than kids.  Whereas the last trailer made the movie look kinda like a kids show, this one makes more complicated jokes and concentrates on the critical acclaim this movie has attracted.  The “cussing” joke was an interesting joke for a trailer, not what I would expect.  And that Pixar dig was very interesting.  I love Pixar to a ridiculous degree, therefore I don’t really know what they were trying to accomplish with that quote.  Were they implying that this movie is better than Pixar in a mean-spirited kind of way?  Or were they complimenting Pixar and trying to attract that kind of fan-base?  Weird.

If you go watch this trailer you’ll see two featurettes about the movie on the Apple site.  They’re quite interesting.  One is about Roald Dahl and the other is about how Wes chose to film the movie.  He’s filming in a kind of method directing.  Obviously he put a lot of work into the stop motion part of the movie, but apparently he didn’t want to record the voices in a studio, so he made the actors (well most of the actors) act out the scenes in different environments and he recorded the voices there.  Interesting idea, hopefully it sounds good.

The Men Who Stare at Goats trailer

I still need to read this book, so I can’t really say much about the “trueness” of this movie.  I hear that the C.I.A. program was real, and the book about the failed experiments is hilarious but the director chose to pretend that the experiments were successful in order to make a funnier film.  After I actually read the book I’ll be more equipped to say what’s going on there.

The premise looks suitibly outrageous, but besides that this movie looks great.  Although the director is obviously stepping on some Soderberg and Coen toes, he seems to be doing it delicately.  If he was completely ripping off their style then I doubt he’d be able to get this cast.  Just look at this cast, it’s the largest collection of dead-pan performers.  Kevin Spacey could probably keep me laughing throughout this whole movie.

Youth in Revolt trailer

I don’t know how many more times Michael Cera can play this character, but it’s still working for me.  This is yet another twist on that characters.  Michael Cera’s character seems to consciously develop Dissociative Identity Disorder.  It should be fun.

Oh that mustache.

Extract trailer 2

Remember Office Space?  Good, this movie is counting on it.  This is Mike Judge’s new movie about administrative ridiculousness.  The cast also seems…funny.  I’m still a little shocked by the appearance of Gene Simmons.

At times this trailer is unnecessarily raunchy, but that seems to be the new trend with red-band and internet trailers.
