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.)

Clash of the Titans teaser

When I was quite young I rented the old Clash of the Titans movie (it released sometime close to Star Wars).  I expected it to be a classic campy fantasy movie.  It was pretty awful.  I’m all for old-fashion special effects, but come on.  It wasn’t the classic it was made out to be.  This version looks better.  Granted this trailer is nothing more than a testosterone filled Hollywood version of a music video, but I’m sure the movie will be better.  It’s undoubtedly a big budget action movie, but it has some serious talent and shouldn’t be ignored as a 300 copycat (although that wouldn’t be the worst thing, 300 was a lot of fun).

And yes, I rolled my eyes too when the line “Titans Will Crash” came on the screen.

A Single Man teaser/trailer

I really don’t know what to call this.  It’s probably a trailer, but it acts like a teaser.  There’s no dialogue and after watching it you’ll probably have no idea what the movie is about (besides Oscar nominations).  But this is likely a trailer.

This trailer (and the movie) is about getting Colin Firth and Julian Moore Oscars.  We can pretend that it’s an art house movie, or perhaps a passion project from the director Tom Ford.  But for those of us who aren’t in L.A. or New York or Venice or Cannes this is simply a beautifully shot movie that will likely win some Oscars.  I don’t think that these two don’t deserve Academy Awards, I absolutely love Julianne Moore.  I’m quite indifferent towards Colin Firth (mostly because I’m not a 30 year old woman, I have heard that “that man can wear a sweater”, but he just seems to play the same grim character in all his movies.  Maybe that’s the point, maybe this movie is supposed to change that.

I have to say that this is probably the best looking trailer I’ve seen in quite some time.  I probably won’t see the movie, it’ll be very hard to find a theatre that will show it, but the trailer is visually spectacular.

Salt teaser

Salt is an interesting movie.  I starting having doubts about it when Tom Cruise dropped out of the project and Angelina Jolie was recast in the lead.  Objectively that should be good.  I don’t like Tom Cruise and I do like Angelina Jolie, but it concerns me that a script can be so casually and drastically changed.  Beyond that craziness this film looks like some simple, mindless fun.  It doesn’t look as bad as Wanted, but it’s hardly going to be one the most exciting movies next year (for me).  I do want to know what happens, and I guess that’s the point of the trailer.  By all accounts it looks like she’s quite guilty, but that’s going to be pretty hard to sustain throughout the whole movie.  There have got to be some serious twists.  We shall see.

Inception teaser

This is Christopher Nolan’s next movie.  I find that he does an extremely good job of keeping his audience uncomfortable, that is the common thread in all of his movies.  There’s anticipation but mostly you are just dreading what’s going to happen next (it could be the lack of color in his movies).  This movie is sure to be a success, at least for a week.  It stars Leonardo DiCaprio (does anyone even remember when this guy was a heart-throb?  Thank got those days are over.)  It also Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Collitard and Cillian Murphy.  That’s quite an awesome cast.

This is just a teaser, so don’t be too worried if it’s utterly mystifying.  The trailer will come soon enough (likely October), and it will have more about the story.  (I’ve also read a spoilery synopsis, and it sounds good).

Avatar teaser

Avatar is probably the most epic-est movie ever made.  James Cameron finally decided to capitalize on the outrageous success of Titanic and make the movie he’s always wanted to make.  This is that movie.  I honestly couldn’t care less about the story, what I care about is how it looks.  This looks to be the most beautiful movie ever made.  It has the most impressive effects work ever.  And it’s all in 3D.  I know 3D has been around forever, but only with a budget like this one will 3D be seen to it’s full effect.

[UPDATE: Empire posted a wonderful scene-by-scene analysis of the trailer.  Check it out here.]
