This Week in Movie Trailers!
Hey everyone! Welcome to This Week in Movie Trailers!
Are you set for the weekend? Ready for those two days to fly by? Then realize how time goes by so quick that you become a little sad because you should have asked out that girl or flirted with that guy when you had the chance? Ha, ha, just kidding! It’s the holidays and also it’s that terrible day called Black Friday! Wooo!
Trailer time!
Tarzan
Extraterrestrials and Tarzan? Sold. I also love the animation style for this film and this trailer intrigues me … sooo, I might have to check this out. Or I might not. How’s that for options?
Welcome to the Jungle
I have no idea what is going on here but I really want to see this because the movie actually looks very funny and original; sort of like if Lord of the Flies was an adult comedy. Also, JCVD is amazing.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I am really looking forward to this. Hey, that’s three movies in a row I want to see!
The Legend of Hercules
It’s somewhat odd for me to see a new movie based on Hercules since the last portrayal of this character was 15 years ago with Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, which was my favorite show growing up, coincidentally. That being said, I have no idea if I will see this or not, but based on this trailer, I’m leaning towards “nope.”
Repentance
Huh? Well this certainly looks intense! Maybe?
Gimme Shelter
Hooooly did they ever make the normally gorgeous Vanessa Hudgens look horribly grotesque. If this Oscar-bait film doesn’t win for best actress or best picture, it should definitely get one for make-up. Yeeeeesh. Anyway, not my cup of tea (I hate watching depressing movies usually), but it looks really good!
With respect to the Tarzan trailer: It looks like they’re trying to go for the “brave nature-lover defends the environment from the evil energy company” angle, but all I can see is the “ignorant hippie prevents country having free source of virtually unlimited power so that it can wean itself off fossil fuels” angle. That may seem like I’m reading too much in to a kid’s movie, but remember that it’s these kinds of movies that often form the basis of kid’s opinion on these sorts of issues.
They’ll probably contrive some heavy-handed reason why mining the unobtainium would be “bad”; like there’s a gorilla nest on top of it or something.
Saw Walter Mitty last week at a special screening, while the scenery is beautiful, it just tries far too hard to be a Wes Anderson movie and just doesnt quite reach those heights
