thehefnerHere are some thoughts on a few movie trailers I've seen in theatres and at the apple site:
BUBBLE
I've seen this trailer three times now, I've read the synopsis, and I STILL have no idea what the hell this movie's about. Steven Soderberg had better have something good up his sleeve, is all I'm sayin'.
AMERICAN DREAMZ
This could be charming and fun dreck like LOVE, ACTUALLY or just plain dreck. But the fact that Willhem Dafoe is playing Dick Cheney is incentive enough for me to check it out.
EIGHT BELOW
The movie's tagline: "The Most Amazing Story Of Survival, Friendship, And Adventure Ever Told." SUCK IT, URUGUAYAN RUGBY TEAM! YOU AIN'T GOT SHIT ON PAUL WALKER AND HIS SNOW DOGS!
THE FOUNTAIN
The new one from Darren Aranofsky; when it looked like the film wouldn't get made, he adapted is as a graphic novel. I really should read it, because interesting as this looks, I have NO idea what it's gonna be about. I just hope it's soul-crushingly depressing!
THANK YOU FOR SMOKING
On one hand, this promises to be horrendously politically biased. On the other hand, it's biased on politics I strongly agree with.
UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTON
It isn't enough that this piece of crap is getting a sequel, but that it features Bill Nighy and Derek Jacobi?! WHY, AWESOME BRITISH MEN, WHY?!
ELLIE PARKER
This film looks so low-budget (and not purposefully so) that I wonder if Naomi Watts agreed to do it for scale? Let me just say that it is truly here, here in this trailer, that I've actually felt truly attracted to Miss Watts. This could be fun.
BLOODRAYNE
Look. I'm not fan of the game on which it's based, but here's the thing. It's a simple enough concept: sexy vampire fighting Nazis in WWII. It's a concept so idiotically simple that it's idiot-proof. So leave it to Uwe fucking Boll to decide to set it in Eighteenth-Century Romania for no fucking reason. WHY, BEN KINGSLEY, WHY?! Seriously, did Kingsley, Nighy, and Jacobi all lose a bet or something?
MIAMI VICE
I don't care how fashionable it's gonna be to badmouth this movie. It's written and directed by the show's creator, Michael Mann, director of MANHUNTER, HEAT, and COLLATERAL. It's going to fucking rock. That is all.

and they said Bloodrayne was the worst thing they'd ever seen and almost walked out.
just sayin' ;)

Date: 2006-01-11 11:56 pm (UTC)But I am totally with you about Miami Vice, the trailer does look good and Michael Mann does give it hope. I'm just like...I don't know. Hollywood should have a quota about how many original screenplays they do. In the future no movie will be allowed to be made unless it was previously another movie/television show/breakfast cereal.
