Trailer reviews:
Since the trailer portion of the movie-going experience is just about longer than the movie:
Fantastic Four - I'm such a comics geek. The FF was the first comic I ever read and I have a soft spot for them in my head heart. I don't read the comic now because it doesn't interest me, but I remember them so fondly that I really don't care how awful the movie looks, I'll go see it anyway. And it DOES look awful. Not even Ioann Gruffudd (somewhere I read that is pronounced "Ian Griffith," even with all the consonant misdirection) can save this turkey, I don't think.
War of the Worlds - Wow, a trailer that doesn't give the entire plot away. Or if it does, the movie has no discernable plot, other than: aliens attack Tom Cruise. Which, okay, maybe so.
Bewitched - it's hard for me to overcome my dislike of Will Farrell to say anything good about this, other than: well, at least it isn't a straight rip of the TV show, because it seems to be about a witch cast as the witch in the TV show Bewitched, and the witch decides that they should actually be Darrin and Samantha, instead of just playing them, to teach Farrell's character a lesson. Or something. So, you know, it's original and all. Ummm hmmm.
Movie that I can't remember the title of but involves military jets and an AI that goes crazy -- the movie looks like the CGI basis for the inevitable video game. I saw this trailer last time I went to the movies and it didn't impress me then. It hasn't gotten any better for getting longer. Or maybe it just seems longer.
Dukes of Hazard - do I really need to say anything? No, I didn't think so.
