So, today I was killing time (read: avoiding actual work) in the way I generally do, I looked around for any new movie trailers. I have a rehab worthy addiction to trailers, especially ones for movies for movies that are not coming out until next year. I'm looking at you Thor comic-con footage. So, in my never ending quest to see new movies I looked around. I found a few and here are my takes on a few... and if possible I will link to them so you can make up your own mind...
The first one is Skyline, it is apparently about aliens, Los Angeles, and spaceship things that look way too much like they are from halo. I have no clue what this movie is about. It is one of those where the trailer pops up on the Internet and there really is nothing other than that. It it hard to say what this movie will be like, it is just a teaser and there is nothing much else. All I know now is, with Battle: Los Angeles and Skyline when the aliens eventually invade Los Angeles is screwed.
Next was Love & other drugs. I am a sucker for SOME romantic comedies. This one might be one of those movies that I have soft spot for. Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are cute and the movie actually looks fun. SO there is nothing really bad to say. It looks like some October fluff, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole, I know this one is older, but the movie interests me for some reason that I can't really explain. What makes the trailer and an aspect of trailers that was overlooked but becoming more and more important is that music. This one happens to have Kings and Queens by 30 Seconds to Mars which fits perfectly. It fits like M.I.A.'s Paper Planes did for Pineapple Express. The movie reminds me of those kids movies that I grew up with, specifically, the Secret of Nimh. It has that very similar feel, animals, danger, and a seriousness that hasn't been in many kids movies lately (PIXAR is exempt from this generalization)
And finally my last one is a trailer that was the topic of much discussion after Comic-con, Sucker Punch, which for those who care is done by Zak Snyder, the guy who did Watchmen, 300 and one of the few remakes that didn't suck beyond imagination Dawn of the Dead. This movie looks like a geeks wet dream. I mean really, did he just put a bunch of suggestions on a wall and throw darts. The trailer has hot girls that are HEAVILY armed, an asylum that doubles as a brothel, giant samurai troll things, Nazis, robots that look like they are rejects from Battlestar Gallatica, mechs, dragons, by-planes, and did I mention hot girls with LOTS of weapons. The trailer is a collection of geek money shots, especially the one with the samurai troll think with a GATLING GUN. Seriously.
HAVE FUN!
