15 Mar 08 New ‘Incredible Hulk’ trailer up
You suck Ang Lee. Better stick to martial arts and gay cowboy movies and leave the super-hero stuff to the people that can pull it off effectively.
I’m glad they decided to just start over and pretend the first movie didn’t happen, like the new Batman stuff from Christopher Nolan. Now if only they could do that with Daredevil and *gasp* Captain America.

The newest trailer for the upcoming Iron Man movie has been released, and it is sweet.
I had no idea Paltrow was in this, not that she’s the draw or anything.

Three movie trailers that will make you hate Hollywood and question why you aren’t making millions as a screenwriter.
- The Hottie and the Nottie
Yes, this is a Paris Hilton rom-com. As if you didn’t dislike her enough, they’ve created a movie to reinforce the stereotype that only blond, thin and dumb women are the preferred trophy among men. Really? Did we just step back into the 1970s or something? It blows my mind that someone actually pitched this, it got written and that people acted and directed it with a straight face. - Postal
Now there is nothing wrong with the idea here, the video game was quite cool. But Uwe Boll is quite possibly the worst director ever. His notoriety as an extremely bad director is sort of the draw now. People can’t wait to see what horrible piece of tripe some Hollywood paid him millions to produce. However it is not in the cool, Troma sort of bad. It’s more of a “wow, they paid someone to make that?” kind of bad. This will no doubt be yet another fine example. Just by the trailer you can tell the “jokes” are nothing more than rehashed racial stereotypes and action movie clichés. - Prom Night
Didn’t they do this movie in the 70s, and then the 80s? Once again, horror movie clichés win over any sort of original thought. Hmm, psycho ex-student placed in a mental institution escapes and seeks revenge on the kids that shunned him. Wow, that’s brilliant!
Another odd thing is this round of trailers, Abigail Breslin, aka the girl from Little Miss Sunshine, is in three movies coming out soon. That’s crazy. After her Oscar nomination studios snatched her up and are putting her in everything.
While I applaud her career, I fear this may burn the little darling out quickly and turn her into another Lindsay Lohan. Let’s hope not, Breslin is far more talented and it would be a horrible thing.
Notables that might be worth watching:
- Cassandra’s Dream
Woody Allen directing Ewan McGregor and Colin Ferrell in a dramatic thriller. Awesome. - Don’t Mess with the Zohan
Adam Sandler meets Zoolander, sort of. It looks to be a good redemption from Sandler in the wake of 50 First Dates, Click and Anger Management (though I hear Chuck and Larry was OK, but I would probably disagree). - Wanted
Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie as assassins, um, OK. Plus James McAvoy in the lead. McAvoy is going to be big. The kid is awesome (ref. The Last King of Scotland) and I give him a year before he gets an Oscar. - Chicago 10
An animated re-telling of the Chicago Seven featuring the voices of Hank Azaria, Dylan Baker, Nick Nolte, Mark Ruffalo, Roy Scheider, Liev Schreiber, and Jeffrey Wright. Sounds good to me.
Now if only the movies could live up to the trailers.

18 Dec 07 The Dark Knight
This is going to be awesome. Hopefully Chris Nolan will continue to do a few more Batman movies and not hand it off to some lesser filmmaker down the road (i.e., Joel Schumacher, Bret Ratner) to ruin.
Here are two photos of Ledger as The Joker from a hi-res trailer. He looks awesome, but I am curious how Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart) is going to look.
21 Nov 07 Charlie Wilson’s War
I know this is based on a book, which I haven’t read, but I wonder if this delves into the d’oh! factor of giving Afghanistan weapons that eventually fall into the hands of the Taliban. Looks like a good movie though. Hanks needed to redeem himself after the dreck that was The Da Vinci Code.

Someone was working overtime at the Apple trailers department and over the last week a whole gaggle of new ones got put up. I’m a sucker for movie trailers and if there were a channel with them on, I’d watch the damn things all day. There’s a subtle art to the movie trailer that can not only make or break a film, but through clever editing can lure you into a shitty film or through bad editing turn you away from a great one.
Some current notables:
- No End in Sight
- No Country for Old Men (this is going to be very good)
- This Is England
- Rocket Science
- 3:10 to Yuma
- Feast of Love (eh, maybe)
- Charlie Bartlett
- Into the Wild (looks awesome)
- The Ten (even though it’s Biblical, it still looks funny because of the cast)
- The 11th Hour (An Inconvenient Truth 2: The Leonardo DiCaprio Edition)
- Broken English
- 1-18-08 (J.J. Abrams “shadow” project, basically a monster movie ‘Blair Witch Project’)
- 30 Days of Night
- The Wendell Baker Story (Luke & Owen Wilson, Will Ferrel–you can’t lose!)
- Lions for Lambs (Robert Redford starring and directing, I’m game)
- Goya’s Ghosts
Now this doesn’t necessarily mean that these are all going to be theater worthy, and some I even know for a fact will be NetFlix material. However these are the ones that immediately gave me the movie itch.
Sundays rule.
