Trailer Watch: Main Street

Check out the new trailer that just dropped for Magnolia Pictures’s new film Main Street. Looks like the inspirational story of overcoming hardships and finding love in a small North Carolina town.  Penned by Horton Foote (the writer behind the Oscar-winning screenplay for the 1962 film version of To Kill a Mockingbird), this flick seems [...]

Trailer Watch: Brave

Dear Pixar, We’ve had our differences in the past. For example, I couldn’t understand why you’d release something derivative like Cars 2 when you had such great concept art from the now dead Newt. I mean, sure, Rio sort of beat you to the punch, but I’m sure yours would have been something unique and [...]

Trailer Watch: The Muppets, Red Bands for 30 Minutes or Less and Conan the Barbarian and more

The Muppets continues its trailer domination with a clever send-up of Green Lantern. I’m a diehard Muppets fan and if the movie turns out to be half as clever as its marketing, I’ll be seeing this in theaters more than once. Check out the trailer and the synopsis below. On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, [...]

Trailer Watch: The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

I’ve been having a terrible time with movie adaptations lately, and I have a terrible time with the idea of an American studio — specifically Nickelodeon, with a track record that looks something like an EKG screen — adapting a Belgian comic strip into a 3D animated feature for kids.  Seeing Spielberg on as director [...]

Trailer Watch: Fright Night

Colin Farrell is getting all sorts of chances to be evil this year. Fresh on the heels of the first look at Horrible Bosses, we get to take a look at Fright Night. Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted [...]

Trailer Watch: Horrible Bosses

I know I normally do trailers on Friday, but this one was too good to pass up. I give you the extremely promising first trailer for Horrible Bosses. For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is [...]

Trailer Watch: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Part 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, X-Men: First Class and more

Woof. Big week for trailers. First, I’d like to start off with the glory that is the ridiculously awesome, Bacchanalic and over the top trailer for The Devil’s Double. However, with Lee Tamahori’s directing pedigree (Die Another Day, xXx: State of the Union) I’m reserving judgement for now. Baghdad, the playground for the rich and [...]

Musical Taste vs Trailer Watch: Fight for Your Right, Revisited

I…don’t really know what to say. This has an absurdly huge cast, is a sequel for a 25 year old music video, and could be truly amazing, or a spectacular miss. Either way, color me intrigued. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the red-band trailer for Fight for Your Right, Revisited. Fight for Your Right, [...]

Trailer Watch: The Hangover: Part 2 copy-pastes

I believe ‘rehash’ sums it up. It’s tough not to be critical when a somewhat brilliant comedy is being followed up by what looks like just a recycled sequel. But who knows, it could surprise us. In The Hangover: Part 2, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel [...]

Trailer Watch: Captain America, Sympathy for Delicious and more

I usually save Trailer Watch for Friday, but this week we had such a glut that I felt a midweek update was appropriate. We’ve got action, drama, family and raunchy, adult comedy, so let’s get this started. First up, we have an adaptation of the Newberry winning classic, Mr. Popper’s Penguins. And honestly, it looks [...]
