Andy challenged me to post my own trailer (Did you miss me? No? Fine.), so here it is in all it’s excessively long-named glory. But first, four things. 1) Vampires are dumb. 2) John C. Reilly playing one proves it. 3) This vampire craze is about to implode– The Vampire’s Assistant may help. 4) Somewhere in the middle, I kind of laughed.

I was singing the praises of Coraline last night via my Facebook status when I came across the trailer for the new Wes Anderson (The Darjeeling Limited) stop-motion-animation movie, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. It wasn’t by coincidence I happened upon another seemingly stop-motion gem, rather I was reading up on Coraline director Henry Selick, who, it was noted in his Wikipedia biography, worked on The Fantastic Mr. Fox with Anderson, as well as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. As …
I laughed my kiester off watching this redband trailer for “The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard,” which makes me worry the actual movie will suck. We’ll all know soon enough, as it’s due to hit theaters on August 14th. I just don’t see how a movie with Jeremy Piven (HBO’s “Entourage”), Ed Helms (“The Hangover”), Ken Jeong (“The Hangover”), Kathryn Hahn (“Revolutionary Road”), Ving Rhames (“Mission: Impossible III”), David Koechner (“Get Smart”) and Craig Robinson (“Pineapple Express”) could not be …
So apparently, where I thought I was an internet maven, I’m a noob. I’ve never even heard of Derrick Comedy, a supposedly brilliant internet comedy troupe whose online skits have won praise and loyalty. In fact, they’re so popular they made a movie called Mystery Team about Bloodhound Gang wannabees who are now all growed up but remain childlike in their cluelessness. To be honest, the idea sounds like a lot of fun. Who didn’t concoct their own mystery/adventure club …
This is the International Trailer for Guy Ritchie’s new movie, “Sherlock Holmes,” due in theaters on Christmas Day. As you probably know, it stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and the lovely Rachel McAdams. As you watch the trailer you’ll probably recognize a few other Ritchie regulars, including Mark Strong (“RocknRolla,” “Body of Lies,” “Stardust”). I think the trailer is enough mix of substance and tease to make this a surefire hit come December 25th. I can also say, being …
And now for some lighter fare! I’m a sucker for animation- always have been. Still, there’s animation with story and jokes that are uninspired and, at best, fit for 90% of Dreamworks fart-fests. I’m not super keen on what unfolds throughout this whole trailer– the ugly American tourist joke is threadbare as Bruno’s underpanties– but the premise (an eccentric villain is stealing all the world’s landmarks) and the last 10 seconds of the spot for Despicable Me (and the title …
I’m always a little hesitant to go bonkers over a trailer because, like a jilted lover, I just don’t want to get burned again after emotionally investing myself in a two-minute clip. This is my state of mind with “Brothers,” the new film from Jim Sheridan (“In America”), starring Tobey Maguire (“Spider-Man”), Natalie Portman (“The Other Boleyn Girl”) and Jake Gyllenhaal (“Rendition”). My heart strings were tugged a little bit while watching this preview, but again – how much of …
Sure, you’ve seen the trailer where Mother Earth douches the White House, throws a primeval tantrum all over LA and hocks smoking lugies into Yellowstone’s face. But none of that compares to the funky, smooth retro you’ll see in this gem of a gloriously cut and scored trailer for 2012. It’ll take you back to Earthquake, The Towering Inferno and Airport and tuck you in with a pessimistic kiss and a warm glass of milky mayhem. It’ll also assure that …
