Coming SOON: A Movie Trailer Roundup

SS-17-03
Summer is nearly over, chickens. Well, maybe not, but I’m telling myself it is so that I don’t focus on the heat. Do you know what the end of summer means? It means that the time for robots and monsters is coming to an end (until the studios leave them for dead in the January Dumping Ground). Autumn and early winter prestige pics are just around the corner. Let’s watch the trailers for some likely awards-season hits (and one probable miss) after the jump! Continue reading

The “Man of Steel” Trailer is Here!


And it. is. AWESOME. Forgive me, but I have just had a nerdgasm. Many Superman fans were worried that Zack Snyder was going to deliver a “Superman” movie that was all flash, no substance, and would tarnish the memory of the beloved Christopher Reeve Superman movies (well, excluding III and IV). Some were a little worried about the inclusion of Zod and the changes to Superman’s iconic uniform. Continue reading

Watch This: New Prometheus Trailer

A new trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus has hit the web. Much like the first trailer, this one is only about a minute long, but it conveys so much more (without really telling us a thing about the plot). Hit the jump and check it out!

Update

Thanks to Mrugby08 for pointing out that the full trailer is now online. Embedded after the jump.

Sarah Palin Thinks You Have $11.00 You’d Love to Shove in her Pocket

The queen of all media and synergistic brain vomit, Sarah Palin, would like you to come see her at the movies! Yes, I can’t think of a better way to lobotomize myself, so sure, let’s all go to the movies and watch Sarah Palin dance around with a crown of doughnuts on her head while she winks and garbles human language and just basically runs around in a movie about lies and magic hair bumpits. Fantastic!

On with the show!

Coming Attractions: Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop Believin’

We are all pretty much in agreement that NBC and that greedy human chin, Jay Leno, are a bunch of jerks, right? Yes, well, no one agrees more than Conan O’Brien, who probably got the shortest end of all the sticks in all the world. In this hilarious looking documentary, our chum Coco Ginger (This is a brilliant showgirl name) shows us his journey after the proverbial sh*t hit the fan. Continue reading

Coming Attractions: Flinging Crap With Kevin James As The Zookeeper

It’s been exactly 47 minutes since the last Kevin James movie, and as a nation we are just starved… STARVED I SAY for more of his fat man in a tight shirt antics. It keeps us up at night, truly. We literally do not know what we’ll do if another minute passes without watching him pratfall, lurch, scream, or stuff various food items into his face. Apparently Sony Pictures feels exactly the same way.

New Movie Trailers: Spies and a Little Monkey Business

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

James Franco is all grown up now and helming his own movies. No more stoner sidekick roles for him, right? Who are we kidding. Anyway, in this prequel to Funky Wahlberg’s 2001 Planet of the Apes effort, which basically resulted in a critics poo-throwing contest, here we are again trying to figure out how the world was overrun with primates.

Franco, looking quite the studious scientist, manages to exude the dynamically subtle nuances most attributed to plywood. I’m not getting the urgency, Franco. Murderous apes are afoot! When Matthew Broderick discovered monkey-mayhem had occurred in Project X there was fleet-footed frantic scrambling to round up all those monkeys! These people just look like the vending machines are all out of Certs. Maybe it gets more intense further along. We’ll see. However, one thing is clear, the apes, yeah, they want your face…on a plate. We should probably apologize for Donkey Kong.

Abduction

Taylor Lautner, abs connoisseur and full-moon transforming Pekinese, has put on a shirt and decided to try some acting that doesn’t involve supernatural love triangles, or being humped weirdly by Taylor Swift in a high school gym uniform. We want to root for him, don’t we?

Abduction looks more than a bit like 1988’s Little Nikita starring the late great River Phoenix, but with some updates. iPad! In this we see Lautner using some high kicking Kung Fu! Very Keanu of you, sir. Are you The One? The one in a too tight t-shirt, maybe? While it looks like the story may get a little muddled and fall into the “secret organization super-spy baddies want teenager because he’s really a sleeper operative” trope, this probably isn’t the worst move for Lautner. He’s the lead actor. He is, however, obviously reciting his lines in his head. We see the effort. Not good. And oh, look! There’s Maria Bello! And wait, Sigourney Weaver! Sigh.

What do you think? Worth the movie bucks and highway robbery popcorn?
