Trailer Park 10/31/2013

It's Halloween!  So, while you snack on all of your goodies or recover from a party, check out these trailers.

The first trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past came out this week.  I have never read this story in the comic books, so I don't know much about it.  I think the trailer looks interesting and there are lots of mutants that look familiar, so comic book geeks are definitely going to be excited about seeing favorite characters they may recognize.  From a general movie-goer point of view, the trailer seems a little confusing.  This is just a teaser trailer, so I'm sure further trailers will detail more of the movie.  It is exciting to see all of the old X-Men cast back alongside the new X-Men: First Class cast.  I look forward to seeing more about this movie.

I saw the trailer for Pompeii last night while watching Carrie.  I don't have high hopes for the movie, but the idea interests me.  Based on the trailer, it more looks like a Showtime television show than a feature length movie.

I cannot wait to see The Wolf of Wall Street.  The second trailer looks as great as the first...if not better.  I can sense multiple awards and nominations for this movie.

It's time for a round-up of some of the movies I'm looking forward to based on trailers I've seen.

First of all, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is coming out next Spring.  The trailer just hit earlier today and I have to say it looks AWESOME!  I love a good comic book movie.  Iron Man 3 was good, but nowhere near Avengers.  I'm looking forward to Thor: The Dark World in a few weeks, but the trailer for the next Captain America movie gives me some goosebumps.  It gives you just enough to give the basic direction of where they are taking the movie, but not enough to spoil it.  The action in it looks amazing.

Next, another trailer for Anchorman 2 came out this week.  The first trailer made me think that this would be a great sequel.  The second trailer keeps me thinking that.  It gives us a few more plot points than the first trailer and a few funny moments including Brick with a green screen.  Love it!  My biggest fear is that all of the funny parts are going to be in the trailers.  "Say whaaaat?"

Lastly, the trailers for That Awkward Moment took me by surprise.  Zac Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan combine for what looks like a great "guy" movie that the girls may enjoy as well.  It looks like it has some of that Old School and Wedding Crashers type of humor, but it might hide some "chick flick" tendencies under it all.  I heard this movie mentioned last week, but the trailer sold me.  This might have to be a date night movie with the wife.  Here's a couple of different versions for you.

Trailer Park 6/19

A few of trailers came out this week. Trailers are your first chance to have any feelings whatsoever about a movie. They can encourage you to see a movie or make you wait to see it on video.

The Wolf of Wall Street

 

I liked this trailer. I honestly have very little idea about what the movie is about. I know it's about Wall Street, but that's almost it. I'm glad. I don't want to know much more. The cast is pretty awesome...Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew Mcconaughey and Jonah Hill being directed by Martin Scorsese. It looks great!

Anchorman 2

 

This trailer is on the opposite end for me. It seems like a they may be missing something. I loved Anchorman, but this doesn't seem like it has many good funny parts. I'm really hoping they haven't lost the spirit of the first movie. 

LEGO Movie

 

As stupid as this looks, I think it might be good. It looks like it might be good for kids and adults at the same time. Plus, you get to see Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in a movie together before a Justice League movie.
