Movie Trailers, Oh, Movie Trailers!!!
So pissed. I was halfway through writing this post and my fucking computer stops working which is a whole other issue, and my firefox browsers crash, so now i have to totally redo fucking everything. ARGH!!!
Well I spent way too much time watching trailers, and smoked way too many cigarettes while doing so... So, I woke up this morning and decided to watch some movies trailers, fueled by my rooommate Rusty showing me a link to a 10 second clip from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix trailer!!!
So, here are a bunch of trailers that i watched that are really f-in spectacular. I love serial killer movies, and apparently so do the studios, because there are a shitload of them coming out. Well, at least two.
Anyhoo, most of these are from the apple website, so you are going to need to have quicktime to view them, so if you dont have it you can go here: to get QUICKTIME.
HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX 10 second clip!!!
And in support of my Harry Potter wonders:
DRIVING LESSONS
Rupert Grint and Julie Walters (Ron and Mrs. Molly Weasley). Laura Linney is his mom. And it just looks SOOO good. I love seeing my Harry Potter peeps in other things!
And this has NOTHING to do with Harry Potter, but my exuberance for this movie is great:
TMNT
SO EXCITED for this. They like DEFINED my childhood for years. (In case your an idiot who doesnt get it, its the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Hello? Where were you in the 80s!?)
Seriously, you know I'm obsessed with movies...
MOVIES OUT RIGHT NOW:
(that i want to see)
BOBBY
This is out right now, at the Charles for people in the Baltimore area. Bobby Kennedy's assination. A plethora of amazing actors and looks like archival footage added, too. I really REALLY want to see this. It gives me chills.
CATCH A FIRE
Struggle for Freedom in Apartheid South Africa. LOOKS SO GOOD. From what I've learned of apartheid, this looks realistic, but then again I also don't know much about it. But it looks brutal and disturbing, just like apartheid was. It gives me chills.
STRANGER THAN FICTION
Will Ferrel plays a guy who's life is being narrated by an author (Emma Thompson) who plans to kill him. Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Heard its really good, MUST SEE IT!
A Good Year
Oh Russel Crowe, youre so crazy. And he's got his accent, well at least an accent of some sort. I think he's a stock exchange guy or something. Lives in London (? looks like). Some relative dies and he inherits what looks like a winery? Wine is a metaphor for his life: "Everything Matures...eventually."
DEATH OF A PRESIDENT
Intriguing... is what I have to say. Conceptually ingenious, but i also wonder what the effects of this are going to be? Furturistic Documentary set in 2008 looking back on the assasination of George W. Bush in October 2007...
Babel
I've heard its supposed to be like Crash. Lots of peoples lives become linked through one single event that starts a chain of events. Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and more.
The Return
I love my Buffy, so I will see any movie with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Horror/Thriller flick about a woman being haunted and she goes in search to find a murder, and things get crazy...
THE PRESTIGE
I just saw this last night. Seriously, like the best movie I've seen all year long. Christian Bale and Michael Cain NEVER dissapoints. Bale and Jackman play magicians, who are linked through tragedies and are on a quest to be the BEST. Really bad summary, but there's so much to this movie I can't even begin to explain without giving away uber important things.
CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY MOVIES:
THE HOLIDAY
Kate Winslt, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black, Jude Law. Kate and Cameron switch houses for Christmas because their lives totally suck. Also Rufus Sewell (who i love) and Edward Burns.
The Nativity Story
You know, Jesus, and all. I do have to say, if God knocked me up without asking, I'd be really fucking PISSED. But it actually looks good, gave me chills oddly enough. And Ciaran Hinds and Stuart Townsend are in it, so yeah.
Unaccompanies Minors
Its looks crazy, and therefore funny, and therefore good. Plus its directed by Paul Feig who did Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and Arrested Development, among other things.
DECK THE HALLS
OMG! THIS LOOKS SO GOOD! Crazy families going up against each other to have the best Christmas Decorations and such. Oh MAN! Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Maeby from Arrested Development, Charlotte from Sex and the City. LOOKS SO FUNNY! Tagline: "The Battle of the BULBS!"
UPCOMING MOVIES:
HARSH TIMES
Christian Bale. Never dissapoints. Need I say more?
ZODIAC
Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr, Make Ruffalo, and a slew of other people I totally love! Serial Killer movie; base on true events and story. Totally 1970s, totally looks awesome.
VAN WILDER 2: THE RISE OF TAJ
Need I say more? Taj goes to Camden Uni in England. Though its lacking in Ryan Reynolds, I do love Kal Penn almost as much.
The Hamiltons
More serial killers afoot. A Picture Perfect family, save for the fact they kidnap and murder their neighbors.
Reincarnation
I LOVE Japanese films, specifically zombie flicks, but general horror is good as well. By the guy who created/directed The Grudge.
THREE NEEDLES
AIDS. The trailer gives me chills, it looks REALLY GOOD. Stockard Channing, Sandra Oh, Lucy Lui, and Shawn Ashmore, who's this kid I love from Veronica Mars. It looks EXCELLENT.
SMOKIN' ACRES
Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, Jeremy Piven, Ben Affleck. Mafia something or other. It looks GOOD. Ray Liotta, Andy Garcia.
THE PAINTED VEIL
Ed Norton, Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber. Three of my favorite people. Another trailer that gave me CHILLS. LOOKS SOOOOOO GOOD! Cholera epidemic in what looks like China (?) in what looks like early 20th century.
Premonition
Crazy Sandra Bullock movie with that hot guy from Nip/Tuck.
Come Early Morning
Joey Lauren Adams directorial debut starring Ashley Judd. Looks interesting. Maybe not really good, or even something I would like, but interesting to say the least. She's a southern chick who sleeps around until some guy comes to town to "change it all" or whatever. One of those.
Turistas
That Tad Hamilton guy from Las Vegas. Scary movie. Vacation is Over. They're all gonna DIE. and in Brazil, nonetheless.
Unknown
Five guys wake up in a warehouse and don't know who they are. Some are kidnappers, some are the hostages, but they don't know who is who. Craziness ensues. Greg Kinear and Jeremy Sisto, and possibly who i think is the guy who played Jesus in Passion.
Charlotte's Web
Duh! But my god, can I just say the Dakota Fanning is getting OLD, and it freaks me OUT. SALUTATIONS! But i still really HATE spiders.
Conventioneers
Another Political Film. Based on Romeo and Juliet, but instead of the Capulets versus the Montagues, its the Republicans versus the Democrats. More than likely, a film i will rent.
JONESTOWN
Looks GREAT. Documentary about the cult (The Peoples Temple) who had the largest mass suicide in modern history. 900 people with some poisoned Kool Aide.
PAN'S LABYRINTH
You can view the teaser or the trailer. By the director of Hellboy and Blade II. Looks creepy but intriguing. Set in post-war Franco Spain. Looks AMAZINGLY well done.
Norbit
Eddie Murphy comedy. Oh man, it looks ridiculous. And in keeping with our times, its got another fat chick in washing a car scene, to the sounds of "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" Scene.
MR. WOODCOCK
Sean William Scott as a self-help author. He goes home to see Susan Sarandon, his mom, who is dating his high school arch-nemisis, Billy Bob Thorthon, the gym teacher: "You are a disgrace to fat gilatonous kids the world over." Oh man, Billy Bob is always ridiculous, and Sean William Scott is always awesome. Oh, and Amy Poehler, "Scuse me, please, could i get a real bottle? I'm an alcoholic, not a Barbie Doll," to a flight attendent on a plane about her tiny little bottle of liquor.
FREEDOM WRITERS
Not a big fan of Hilary Swank, but I was enticed to watch this bc Patrick Dempsey was mentioned, but i saw none of him. But i got CHILLS again. Looks really good. Kids in Long Beach, dealing with race issues. Looks amazing. Like a 2000's version of Dangerous Minds, but better.
TIDELAND
From Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). Little girl has junkie parents; mom dies and they move to a farm in the middle of nowhere. Kids imagination is her escape and she's a little crazy. Movie looks like a an acid trip without the acid through a child's eyes. GOOD. OH, and Jeff Bridges is the junkie dad, so awesome.
THE HISTORY BOYS
8 Working class English boys want to go to Oxford or Cambridge. They go through a bunch of crap to try to get there. Mr. Dursley from the Harry Potters stars in it, so thats aweomse on its own! It looks really funny!
THE INVISIBLE
A kid is walking down a road and gets beat up; he's missing. And no one can see him, hear him, feel him, etc. He must solve the mystery of his death to get a chance to live again. It looks REALLY GOOD. Co-writer of Batman Begins and producer of Sixth Sense.
THE GOOD SHEPARD
Robert DeNiro (LOVE HIM), Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, Michael Gambon. About the creation and beginnings of the CIA.
DREAMGIRLS
From nowhere in the 1960s to everywhere and more in the 1970s, story of a girl group (in The Supremes-esque way) and their rise to stardom. Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles, Eddie Murphy, and more.
Ratatouille
(rat-a-too-ee) I heart cheese. AND I HEART Pixar. Animated feature about a rat who lives in Paris.
PERFUME
Looks really good. Thriller based on the best selling novel, about a Perfumist in 18th century France. To preserve the most beautiful scents he smells, he starts killing people. Looks beautifully done.
Alpha Dog
Drugs and Gangsters. A teen boy gets kidnapped by this guy b/c his brother (the teen's) owes lots of money for drugs. Overall it looks REALLY interesting.
The Fountain
A story of love that spans centuries. The just won't die, will they? Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Looks good and dramatic.
Well, i think thats enough for now...
