TRAILER TUESDAY: 2 in the Money, 2 out the door, 2 i'm not so sure
I know I missed last week's Trailer Tuesday so this week I've chosen to show all of you TWO trailers for movies I'm excited for, TWO that I could care less about, and TWO that I don't know what to make of. All of these trailers have been released within the last two weeks!
IN THE MONEY: 1.) American Pie: Reunion
Well it's taken them 5 tries, but I'm finally excited for an American Pie movie again! American Pie was the staple comedy of my childhood and I'd be lying if I said seeing all the original cast wasn't making me just a bit nostalgic.
2.) Safe House
What can I say? I'm a sucker for Denzel in tough guy roles. Plus, I'm diggin' the South Africa backdrop.
OUT THE DOOR: 1.) Underworld: Awakening
If a movie franchise is on its fourth installment and doesn't begin with "Harry Potter," odds are I'm not going to want to see it. Not to say that the Underworld series is particularly terrible, but it's getting a little repetitive by now. Throw in the abundance of lame one-liners in the trailer and I'm saying send this one out the door.
2.) About Fifty
Looks like one of those "rom-com intended for older people" type of movies the likes of It's Complicated or Something's Gotta Give but with a much less impressive cast.
I'M NOT SO SURE: 1.) Project X
Lots of conflicting things flying at me in this trailer. I'm seeing scary Blair Witch-style narrating at the beginning. Then, I'm seeing it's made by Todd Phillips (Old School, The Hangover etc.) but not seeing much comedy. Then, I'm seeing a whole lot of scandalous teenage sexuality. Lastly, I'm left with some sort of police-induced suspense factor. What is going on here?
2.) We Need to Talk About Kevin
The classic indie curve-ball trailer. The trailer starts out with happy music and a happy family, and things suddenly switch and become progressively creepier and less happy.
