It’s The New Trailer For The Return Of Beavis And Butt-Head, Dumb-Ass
It’s been far too long that my life has gone on without a little Beavis and Butt-head in it… but that’s all about to change soon enough. The idiotic duo is set to make their return to MTV on Thursday night, October 27 at 10 p.m., and, from the looks of this trailer for the [...]
The Wolfpack Goes To Thigh-Land For The New Hangover Trailer
You knew it couldn’t be long before Warner Bros. unleashed a full-blown trailer for THE HANGOVER PART II upon us, and here it is. There’s some good stuff in here, and then there’s far too much stuff that we probably shouldn’t be seeing before we see the movie in its entirety. Let’s face it… was [...]
Somehow The Three Musketeers Are Expected To Prevent The Coming Apocalypse In This Boring Teaser Trailer
Listen, Summit… I realize you want to have your own swashbuckling epic that’s rooted in THE THREE MUSKETEERS, a name everyone knows even if they don’t really know the story at all. However, if you’re going to convince me that your rendition is a film worth my time, patience, attendance, and box office cash, you’re [...]
Jim Carrey Serves Up Some Vanilla Ice For Mr. Popper’s Penguin Teaser Trailer
Wow… is Jim Carrey starting to show his age or what? In the first sequence alone of this teaser trailer for MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS, my initial reaction was “Damn, Jim Carrey is beginning to look old.” I guess that’s what years and years of talking out of your ass (literally) and stretching your face will [...]
Captain America Gets His First Full Trailer
Go figure. Once more, the second I step outside the Infamous HQ, something happens… and this time, that something just so happens to be the first full trailer for CAPTAIN AMERICA. Our came on Super Bowl Sunday, when Marvel Studios gave us a tiny taste, a small tease of what was to come… but that [...]
Nothing Sells Your Highness Like Natalie Portman’s Ass
I’m sorry, but raunchy comedies cannot be sold any longer using your average run-of-the-mill all-audiences green band trailer anymore. It doesn’t work. It softens all of the jokes and their set-ups… it runs any gags… and it basically just goes out of the way to pussify the whole thing. If you take a look at [...]
The New Pirates Of The Caribbean Shows A Lot Of Stuff Very Quickly
Sometimes I don’t know if studios get the point of what a trailer is meant to do. They should be used as a promotional tool, helping to sell a particular movie to audiences by giving them a taste of the plot, the characters involved, etc. And it’s usually done in such a way to make [...]
New Trailer Makes Walking Down The Aisle With These Bridesmaids A Little More Appealing
I wasn’t overly impressed with the first trailer Universal dropped for their summer comedy BRIDESMAIDS a little while back. I wasn’t impressed at all. For an Apatow comedy, it didn’t look at all funny, and I was a bit disappointed with what I was seeing, enough that I was dreading having to watch it come [...]
Tom Hanks Reminds Us Why We All Love Tom Hanks In Larry Crowne Trailer
It’s been a long time since Tom Hanks stepped behind the camera to make a film – 1996, in fact, for THAT THING YOU DO! But he’s back directing for this summer’s LARRY CROWNE, in which he also stars opposite Julia Roberts, playing a guy who returns to college after being downsized from his job [...]
New Friends With Benefits Trailers Hopes To Help You Get Over That Whole No Strings Attached Disaster
A lot of you are skeptical that the new sex comedy that deal with the friends with benefits set-up FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS is going to be any good. I’d even venture to say that some of you have already written it off, because that NO STRINGS ATTACHED debacle convinced you that it can’t work without [...]
The Trailer For Beautiful Boy Goes Beyond Rabbit Hole Territory
Right off the bat, BEAUTIFUL BOY gives off the RABBIT HOLE vibe, and the comparison is warranted, since it’s about a couple dealing with the aftermath of their son dying much too young. But the similarities end there, because RABBIT HOLE deals with a young child getting killed in an accident. BEAUTIFUL BOY deals with [...]
Where There’s Smoke, There’s A Conan Teaser Trailer
Over the weekend, Lionsgate debuted the first teaser trailer for their reboot of CONAN THE BARBARIAN… and, if you can tell me exactly what it is that I’m supposed to be teased about after watching this thing, well… you don’t win anything, but you can at least walk away with the knowledge that you know [...]
What The Smurf Is This Smurfin’ Trailer For The Smurfs?
You would think that with as hot as Neil Patrick Harris is now, he’d be a little more choosy in the roles and films he decides to take on. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER has really put him back on the map after the HAROLD & KUMAR flicks displayed him in a light I don’t [...]
The Full Super 8 Trailer Keeps The Mystery Alive
For years now, I’ve absolutely hated the way films get sold to the general public. For some reason, the marketing teams over at the studios feel the need to have trailers cut by those editing houses that basically show you mini version of the film you’re interested in seeing, all condensed down to somewhere in [...]
New Fast Five Trailer Surprisingly Features Lots Of Cars
The only contribution that FAST/FURIOUS series has made to my life is the line “I live my life a quarter-mile at a time,” which I use whenever I need to lend wisdom to someone and have nothing better to say… or when I’m asked to unload the dishwasher and have no better excuse for why [...]
New Cars 2 Trailer Speeds Into The Lead As Most Unappealing Summer Movie On The Way
It’s a shame that through the long run of Pixar classics that have permanently made their way into our minds and our hearts (yeah, that’s quite cliché), there sits the one blight on their entire legacy – CARS. What can I say? It’s not very good. DOC HOLLYWOOD wasn’t very good, and CARS, which borrows [...]
The Rubber Red Band Explodes Heads & Bunnies
So you say you’re not up for seeing a movie about a killer tire with the telekinetic ability to explode things, SCANNERS-style? Well, then I say there is something seriously wrong with you. Granted, there’s something probably wrong with me for enjoying watching people’s head blowing up… and the bunnies… oh, the bunnies. But there’s [...]
New Super Trailer Looks Pretty Super
A lot of people are going to assume SUPER is nothing more than a rip-off of KICK-ASS right off the bat, because they share a protagonist who decides to create his own real-life superhero… but, outside of that commonality, that’s really where the comparisons should stop. The new film by James Gunn (SLITHER) is built [...]
Trying To Lick Yourself Would Be Way More Satisfying Than Watching The New Puss In Boots Teaser Trailer
If only DreamWorks would have left well enough alone after closing out the SHREK series on a down note… two down notes to be exact… well, two down notes and an okay note if we want to be technical… but nooooooo. They had to continue on with a PUSS IN BOOTS spin-off that’s set to [...]
You Get Longer Than 8 Seconds Inside The Source Code For This New Teaser Trailer
It’s quite rare for a studio to dial back the marketing on one of its films, but that seems to be what Summit Entertainment is doing right now for SOURCE CODE, the new thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Fermiga and Jeffrey Wright. The last we saw of SOURCE CODE, it was a , [...]
The Wolfpack Is Back For The Hangover Part II Teaser Trailer
Warner Bros. has released their first teaser trailer for THE HANGOVER PART II today, and, before you go around bitching that it doesn’t show you anything from the movie, I’ll let you know that’s exactly what I love about this. This is the epitome of what a teaser trailer should be. Because we’ve already seen [...]
Paul Shows Off His Space Junk In New Red Band Trailer
At this point, you’re either sold on PAUL or you’re not… and a lot of that has to do with your feelings on Seth Rogen as the CGI alien Paul. If you’re feeling his inclusion into the hilarious Simon Pegg-Nick Frost dynamic, then you’re good to go. If you’re not, then you might just not [...]
Cameron Diaz Is Funny For Once In Bad Teacher Red Band Trailer
It’s been a long time since Cameron Diaz has been funny… and, I mean, legitimately funny. It’s been 13 years since THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, because “The Penis Song” is always good for a laugh in THE SWEETEST THING. But damn, if she doesn’t [...]
First Apollo 18 Trailer Displays Why The Moon Is Off-Limits
I realize Dimension Films really put APOLLO 18 together quickly and now has to rush through the marketing campaign in order to raise awareness for a movie that never had any chance to build buzz through its short pre-production and production time frame, but I can’t be the only one who feels as if they [...]
Insidious Trailer Wants To Make Clear That The House Isn’t Haunted
Being told that the movie INSIDIOUS is from the creators of both SAW and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY – director James Wan and writer Leigh Wannell and producers Jason Blum and Oren Peli – you’d immediately wonder how the hell that could even work. Haven’t the two franchises been at war with each other the past two [...]
