Hated the Movie, loved the Fan-based Trailer (Plus Two Cent/Second Review)

Nurv.com created a Inception-inspired Dumb & Dumber trailer. From my recollection, the movie was cheesy and chocked full of slapstick, cheap laughs. My boyfriend seems to think it was a cinematic achievement. Seeing this trailer made me wish I remembered it differently!

And my two cent/ review of Inception:

Vampires Suck: This Movie Might Too, but Rings True

Who has two thumbs and is tired of all these vampire movies, books, and shows...this gal! Came across this trailer and had to share with fellow Twihaters. While I'd probably wait to see this movie on DVD (or on TV), it makes valid points about the on-screen hormone melting pots new breed of vampire films.


Vampires Suck Exclusive Trailer - Watch more Funny Videos

Anneliese van der Pol (That's So Raven) and Hangover's Ken Jeong star. Vampires Suck comes out later this summer.

Cue the revival of werewolf, alien, and zombie flicks.

Book Smarts for Movie Lovers

I had to share a segment from last night's Last Comic Standing on film adaptations. Best line: "Oh, Brad Pitt is in this book...so far just words!"



Mike Kaplan is a semi-finalist in the competition and one of the reasons that I am a newbie to the show. A must-see for an evening laugh.

Retired and Extremely Dangerous...sounds like my mom!

RED packs a punch with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, Richard Dreyfuss and Mary-Louise Parker helming this flick. Will Freeman's turn in Wanted or Mirren's Shadow Boxer make them believable as retiring ex-CIA agents alongside action action tour de force Bruce? For me, seeing Willis grace us with his wit, charm, and "I'm old but I can still kick your @$$" bit is enough to get me to a theater. Summit Entertainment brings this eponymous DC comic book series to theaters October 15th.

Cruise into Action with These Three Trailers

The Movie Box has all of the latest clips and promo for Knight & Day starring the uber gorgeous Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. It hits the theaters this weekend. I am excited to Cruise bounce back from Valkyrie and that ridiculous Grossman character.

Green Hornet is the latest adaptation starring Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz. Looks like Rogen will stay true to his slacker comedy as a lackadaisical socialite turned vigilante. I hope this is the update the TV show needs to reach a younger generation.

iGN has two trailers up for Resident Evil: Afterlife. While I hear the movie does not stay true to the game, movie lovers will be surprised to find this Evil installment is filmed in 3D. Mila Jovovich and Ali Carter join RE pretty boys newbies Boris Kojoe(Surrogates, Uncovers) and Wentworth Miller(Prison Break).

Get Animated with Movie Magic

If a Brazilian backdrop isn't enough to make you want to hit the beach then 20th Century Fox's Rio will! This 3D feature drops in theaters next year but this trailer should get you excited for the film (especially with Sergio Mendes' bossa nova hit in the background). TV host/comedian George Lopez, Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway, Glee's Jane Lynch and many more voice this animated film. Doubt you'll be disappointed as it is by the movie magicians behind Ice Age.


The Smurfs teaser is up! This teaser should conjure all kinds of nostalgic memories for 80's babies everywhere! Hank Azaria is spot-on Garamel! Singer Katy Pery, Neil Patrick Harris, Sofia Vergara and more headline this 3D take on the cartoon. Think I'd keel over if there were a Snorks movie in the works...


The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the third installment of the Narnian books and films. From Internet buzz, Voyage revolves around the youngest of the Adam and Eve's quartet Edmund and Lucy as they venture back to fantasy and adventure-filled land.


The Illusionist or L'illusionniste is a French animated that looks like a quirky story that you will easily fall in love with. I could not find stateside showing, although it will likely be in limited release. I'll keep you posted on showings and distribution as I receive more info. The flick is distributed by Pathe Films.


Lastly, wanted to get you Tangled in Disney's take on Rapunzel voiced by Mandy Moore. Excited to see this become a light-hearted tale (it is based on a Brother Grimm fairy tale). Ewan McGregor, Ron Perlman and Steve Martin lend their pipes as well.

Remakes & RomComs, Comedy & Drama + Suspense!

Morning Glory - seeing this trailer just made me light up. Rachel McAdams, Jeff Goldblum, Patrick Wilson, Diane Keaton, and Harrison Ford make for a solid cast. From the people that brought you The Devil Wears Prada.

The Killer Inside Me - while I'm not particularly a fan of any of these actors/actresses (Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba), this might mark a break out role for each of them. Following in the same vain as the 1976 adaptation of the book by the same name, Killer follows a sheriff by day and sociopath by night. The premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

The Divide - I tend to like apocalyptic thriller films (The Mist, 28 Days (and Weeks) Later, Dawn of the Dead, Quarantine, etc) that throw a random cast group of people together to survive the unknown and each other. I've seen the buzz around this movie all over the web and it looks like it will be good.

Love Ranch chronicles the foundation of the first legal brothel in Nevada. Academy Award winners Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci star.

Going the Distance - You can totally see why Drew Barrymore & Justin Long are a couple, the chemistry oozes off the screen. They star as a couple trying to maintain their long distance relationship. Also features Christina Applegate and Charlie Day (from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," seriously that was enough to sell me)!

Movie Trailers I've been following...

Megamind: Who do you think would win in a fight: Brad Pitt or Will Ferrell?

You Again: I have hope that one day there will be a female equivalent to 40 Year Old Virgin. This might not be it, but it looks like a step in the right direction. Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, and Betty White:-D

Splice: Adrian Brody has not tickled my fancy since The Pianist and Sarah Polley doesn't make me want to see it either. What did pique my interest were blogs that have been following the production.

Super 8: J.J.Abrams + Spielberg = guaranteed theater seat!

Inception: I've always been interested in Leonardo DiCaprio's projects, but I tend to be weary of overly-hyped pictures. However, this one adds Ellen Page (Juno), Marion Cotilliard (Nine), Joseph Gordon Levitt (500 Days of Summer - one of my indie faves) and more to the mix. If anything, the visuals should be enough to make you excited to see Inception later this summer.
