I hope you guys recovered from your turkey hangovers to watch a couple of trailers that were released over the Thanksgiving holiday. Just two.
The first trailer for "The Rep" is a documentary about repertory theaters. What is a repertory theater, you ask? It is a theaters that shows classic movies. Nowadays with everyone going to see mindless blockbusters and renting movies on Netflix, these theaters sere struggling to stay afloat. The movie is still in production. It was conceived to be a web series, but with enough good word of mouth it might come out in theaters.
There is the trailer for Ed Burns next directorial effort called "Newlyweds". Ed plays Buzzy (try not to think of bees) who is living in NYC with his new wife, Katie (Caitlin Fitzgerald). Their quaint life is torn asunder when Buzzy's rebellious sister, Linda (Kerry Bishe) comes into town and stays in their apartment. As you may have guessed, their lives turn upside down. The movie opens on December 26th.

Trailer Tuesday - 11/22/2011
Once again, a slew of trailers have been released for our viewing pleasure. Let's take a peek at them, shall we?
I know that first trailer of Tarsem Singh's upcoming rival Snow White film, "Mirror, Mirror" came out on the same day as of the last post. I didn't want confuse you into thinking that they are the same movie. Far from it. Snow White (Lily Collins) is chased by the Evil Queen, inexplicably played by Julia Roberts. That cutie Armie Hammer is in the movie as the Prince and Nathan Lane as the Queen's manservant, Brighton. It opens March 16, 2012.
The second trailer for the next sappy, syrupy Nicholas Sparks adaptation, "The Vow" has been released. Urgh! Why do people get sucked into this bullshit over and over again? Sparks alum Rachel McAdams (The Notebook) and Channing Tatum (Dear John) comes together about a couple gets into a car accident. The wife loses the memories of their time together and he tries to make her fall in love with him again. It opens February 10, 2012.
Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster reunite with "The Messenger" director, Oren Moverman for what is being touted as the movie with the most corrupt cop ever put on screen. That is a big statement to say the least. Harrelson plays Dave Brown, a veteran police officer in 1990s LA. His life is spiraling out of control. The movie has all star cast of Ice Cube, Anne Heche, Cynthia Nixon, Ned Beatty, Robin Wright, Steve Buscemi and Sigourney Weaver. It opens January 27, 2012 wide.
"Gone" seems like the kind of disposable movie that would typically come out in the vast wasteland between January to April. It deals with Jill (Amanda Seyfried) who tries to find a serial killer that kidnaps her sister Molly (Emily Wickersham) who kidnapped her years earlier. Whatever. The movie opens February 27, 2012.
I am surprised that nobody is reporting about the first trailer for Pixar's upcoming movie, "Brave". People have been buzzing about this movie when the first images of the movie came out. the movie follows a young girl named Merida who defies her family's tradition to be a warrior in medieval Scotland. It opens Summer 2012.

Trailer Tuesday - 11/15/2011
It's that time once again for taking a peeking at the latest trailers that Hollywood has bestowed upon us.
First is the sequel to "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island." The teaser trailer tells about Josh Hutcherson dragging Dwayne Johnson to Mysterious Island that was told by Jules Verne in his classic book. He wants to search for his long lost grandfather, played by Michael Caine. It looks like another throwaway flick. It opens February 2012.
Next, "Snow White and the Huntsman", one of many fairy movies that are about to be released in the coming year. It twists the tale of Snow White (Kristen Stewart) a bit to tell the tale of the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron) wanting eternal life. She has to consume the heart of Snow White. She calls a hunter (Chris Hemsworth) to hunt her down. By the looks of the trailer, it's going to be a major blockbuster when it open June 1, 2012.
The second trailer for Steven Soderburgh's film, "Haywire" has been released. I saw the trailer on TV and I was less than impressed with it. It seems like another operative double coursed by their employer. It opens January 20, 2012.
Another cliched movie with Jason Statham as the lead. It's called "Safe", a cop, Luke Wright tries to protect a little girl for corrupt cops and gangsters. YAWN! It comes out March 2, 2012. [UPDATE: The movie has been pushed back to April 27th.]
I betcha good money that people were creaming themselves when the full trailer of the highly anticipated film adaptation of the book, "The Hunger Games" was released. I know about the book. Have not read it. My understanding is that it is like "Battle Royale" for Americans. It opens March 23, 2012.
Finally, we end on the latest Meryl Streep vehicle that tries to give her her third Oscar. The UK trailer for the "The Iron Lady" has been released. I don't know that much about former Prime Minister Margret Thatcher. I wonder will Americans be interested to see a movie about a British politician. It opens December 16, 2011 in the US, January 6th in the UK.

Trailer Tuesday - 11/8/2011
I wanted to create a new ongoing series about the latest trailers that have been released over the past weekend and give my impressions of them. There is a mixed bag this week.
Here is the "fourth" installment of the American Pie series of films. I guess those shitty straight-to-DVD movies don't count. Shame. Everybody from the original movie are reprising their roles. Some have grown up and some have stayed the adolescent that they were.
The premise is that the graduating class of 1999 are coming together for a blowout party together. I just wonder how they are gonna reunite at year thirteen. Whatever.
It's slated for release in April 2012.
Michael Fassbender reunited with the director that made him a star, Steve McQueen with their latest collaboration, Shame.
Fassbender plays Brandon, a NYC man that is living with sexual compulsion disorder. His life is thrown for a loop when his younger sister, Sissy (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment.
The movie opens on December 2nd.
The House of the Devil director, Ti West, delivers another suspenseful movie about a New England hotel called The Yankee Pedlar Inn is on the verge of closing its doors. The last employees there, Clarie and Luke (Sara Paxton, Pat Healy) want to investigate at the supposed haunting taking place in the inn. When a medium Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGinnis) comes to invoke the spirits. Things get really strange.
The movie opens February 3, 2012
Project X is the movie that is produced by the Hangover director, Todd Phillips. It is the high school party to end high school parties. This is pretty much the premise.
The movie opens March 2012.
I saw the red band trailer of the big screen adaptation of the 1980s television show, "21 Jump Street". My first thought was "What the fuck is this shit?" This is not the 'Jump Street' I know. It's like "Observe and Report meets "Paul Blart". Where the diversity in the cast? It's just a bunch of assholes who are elderly trying to integrate into a high school setting.
Jonah Hill looks gaunt that he lost his bloat. Channing Tatum is being a wooden actor as always.
The movie opens March 16, 2012.
This trailer has blown up on the Internet when it was released. The movie is about Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington), a CIA operative that went rogue and went eluded capture until he was apprehended. He is taken to a safe house in South Africa where a rookie operative, Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) has to babysit him. The safe house is comprised and they have to go on the run.
The movie opens February 10, 2012.
Paul Rudd re-teams with "Wet Hot American Summer" director, David Wain for "Wanderlust" with his "Object of Affection" co-star, Jennifer Aniston. I loved "Summer", but this trailer was limp. I didn't laugh at any of the jokes or gags or the R. Kelly references.
