Trailer Trash Heap November 15th – Hunger Games, Jason Statham and Kristen Stewart
Kyle Kriner here as always, fellow geeks! It is once again Tuesday, can you believe it?? Time flies when you’re waiting on movie trailers I guess. And I am here to please. When it comes to movie trailers, I’m your pusher. That’s not inappropriate at all. And if you think it is, forward all complaints and concerns to Jonathan London as per usual. Till next time, gang!
Corman’s World: Exploits of A Hollywood Rebel
I’m looking forward to seeing this one. As a big movie fan, I’m surprised I don’t know more about Roger Corman, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy brushing up on my film knowledge with this one. What’s better than low budget cult hits? Nothing, duhh!
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
Okay, so I was kinda hoping The Rock was done with this stage in his career, but no. We get to see him romp around this CGI world holding CGI baby elephants and running from giant CGI monsters ala Land Of The Lost. I don’t know anymore. I may watch this strictly for Vanessa Hudgens’ hotness.
A Thousand Words
Well we all know Eddie Murphy hasn’t made a good movie in…oh, about twenty years or something. I had hoped with Tower Heist he was going to try and return to form. I’m not sure now, though. I gotta say I am interested in the concept here, and Eddie is the right comic to play this role, but I’m just worried that this is just another one of his stupid gimmicky movies. We’ll have to wait and see.
Snow White and the Huntsman
I was very against this whole thing upon hearing about it. But I must say the trailer is pretty impressive. It’s a cool take on this story, and everything is looking pretty epic. Kristen Stewart aside, we’re sure to get solid performances from our lead actors, and the whole product is beautiful. I think this may be worth a look after all.
Safe
Well okay, even though I buy Jason Statham as a cop, I will never buy him as an ex-NYC cop until he picks up an American accent for the role. Nevertheless, it’s always fun watching him beat people up, and New York is a good a place as any to watch him do it. The plot of him protecting this little girl will surely lead to plenty of twists and tons of action, so I’m down to just enjoy it for what it is.
Catch .44
So we have a pretty cool cast here, and the trailer wants to be stylized and badass, but honestly it does nothing for me. There’s some kind of conspiracy going on with plenty of backstabbing and Forrest Whitaker changing costumes, but it never really does much. I’m bored with this, and the big names unfortunately aren’t saving this one for me.
A Warrior’s Heart
We get it, lacrosse players are tough guys. Blah blah blah. I kind of have an issue with trying to believe the blond haired guy from Glee as a tough lacrosse player but whatever. They kind of try to make the sport into something epic when really it’s a sport no one really thinks about. I think Hollywood is scraping the bottom as far as athletic plotlines. But then again, this one could suprise me. I dare it to.
Being Flynn
I’m actually digging this indy flick. Of course, Robert Deniro tips the scales in its favor, but it just looks cool for some reason. I can’t decide if it’s the story, the cinematics, or just seeing Deniro in this down and out loser father role. But the movie as a whole just looks interesting to me.
The Hunger Games
Now this looks like something different for sure. It’s a strange distant future I assume, and for whatever reason these kids are getting chosen out of a hat to become some kind of warrior. The plot isn’t completely clear but this trailer sure is interesting. I’m hoping that the film itself gives us more action than the trailer lets on though. That would make it close to perfect, assuming the movie is as interesting as the trailer.
