Everything about this trailer just screams OSCAR NOMINEE. It may be a fairly stereotypical trailer for such a movie, but it's got the star power and skill behind it to ensure nominations. "The King's Speech" has already won awards at various festivals, including the People's Choice award at Toronto, so I'd say it's fairly safe to say we have a best picture (and various other awards) nominee here. Colin Firth was super close to winning best actor last season with is role in "A Single Man", plus he's getting older-ish. Not THAT old, but you know, old enough to where a great actor like him should have received an Oscar by now. So I don't believe I'm being too coy or ignorant when I say I think he's going to win this year. Almost for sure. Period pieces like this often garner the most attention because they involve the most costumes, sets, locations, etc. Director Tom Hooper is also a popular director as of late after his "The Damned United" came out last year about this soccer manager for some team in England. I wasn't that interested. But I am excited to see Geoffrey Rush in a movie again. He's always loads of fun to watch and was the best part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, in my opinion. I'll definitely be seeing this one ASAP uponp it's November 26th release.
"Gnomeo and Juliet"
It feels really stupid to be putting this trailer right after such a prestigious looking movie as "The King's Speech", but at the same time, the contrast is funny to me. Seriously, this movie looks so TURRRRIBLE. I'd be curious to know if anyone, ANYONE laughed at the jokes in this. Probably the most cliche, lazy jokes and storyline I've seen for a while. How many movies have the "makers of Shrek" made now that have been horrible? Too many. It's still funny to notice how a bunch of famous actors such as Jason Statham, James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, and Michael Caine lend their voices to such things. Obviously it's for an easy paycheck. It's also coming out in February which is just further proof that it'll be awful. (for those who don't know, any movie that comes out from January till about mid March is generally destined to be bad). I guess some people's sense of humor is just this bad. I feel sorry for you.
Harry Potter and more after the jump!
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I" (trailer #2)
I'd say this definitely wins for the most epic trailer. I mean, GEEZ. I'm definitely more excited for these movies after having finally read the books. They show SO much in this too! Pretty much every key scene from the book is in here. I'm most happy to see Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour, the new minister of magic. He's PERFECT for the part, even though it's fairly small. On top of that, we see a small glimpse of Rhys Ifans as Xenophilious Lovegood, and Kreacher is back! It's basically one, big Harry Potter nerd explosion of images. It's destined to be the most action-packed of the series next to Part II of the "Deathly Hollows", and if done right, should be pretty violent, dark, and disturbing. If the studio didn't care so much about the audience and selling more tickets, I'd say this could possibly even get an R rating if all the content from the books was maintained. Anyway, this is going to make butt-loads of cash this November.
"The Dilemma"
Oh Ron Howard, you are such an inconsistent director. You make over the top, ridiculously cheesy fair like "Ransom", then something like "A Beautiful Mind", then "The Davinci Code" which failed and you still made a sequel? I swear, this guy, WEIRDO. And oh look! "The Dilemma" comes out in January! And if you read the part about movies coming out in January two paragraphs ago you'd know this means: destined for failure. Plus it has Paul Fart (Kevin James) in it. And Vince Vaughn has lost it real bad. The guy who once starred in "The Wedding Crashers" and "Dodgeball" is now the most boring person EVER. And while Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder are pretty good actresses, the people playing their husbands are idiots. And I have yet to find any respect for Channing Tatum. Well, unfortunately, we all know movies like this have their prospective audience too. An audience with nothing better to do than kill themselves from laughing at Kevin James being fat.
"The Roommate"
I just had to put this on here too. Welcome to the "Sorority Row" of next year! I swear movies like this are made just for the trailer. They don't expect anyone to actually go see the movie! Are you kidding? NAH, it's all about the trailer and it's endless cliches. I really don't care which actors or actresses are in this. It's hard to believe any studio would look at this script and actually OK it. The director/screenwriter was probably like "yeah, so like there's these two hott roommates and they're like, so cool, and like, bff's, but then like, the blond one is like "hey, i'm gonna kill you!", and like, she has medical stuff, and, like, yeah". I think that's what was actually said in some office in the Sony Pictures building where offices are. But seriously, this blond girl is cray-Z. But it's completely unclear what's actually wrong with her. Watch it turn out that she's actually the devil who somehow managed to get out of that elevator a while back. Haha. Movie reference jokes, they're my favorite.
