The Barber

The Barber

What it is: Not a modern take on The Barber of Seville. Sorry, opera fans.

Pros: +Premise dawns on you slowly, which is good.

+Most nail biting haircut ever.

+Guy playing the barber is the perfect combination of rugged veteran and sweet old man.

Cons: -Is this guy just betting on not getting killed because he’s a man?

Overall score: 3/5 stars (I might go see this movie.)

While not the most groundbreaking movie I’ve ever seen, It still catches my interest, at least for a little while. It does get hard to follow at some points, but definately lands a spot on my radar.

Masterminds

Masterminds

What it is: You’ve heard of white collar criminals, but get ready to meet some white trash criminals! Wait, I’m not getting paid to write a tagline for this movie. Oh well, it probably wasn’t as good as I thought it was anyways.

Pros: +Tearing down the door gag at the end is great.

+A comedy based on a true story? Can such a thing exist? Well, probably with some major embellishments to the details, but still.

+Trailer gives nothing away, so you can enjoy the entire plotline.

Cons: -It’s been kind of a con heavy day, lets give it a rest.

Overall score: 5/5 Stars (I will go see this movie.)

Maybe we’re getting sick of Galifanakis and Wiig. God knows I don’t care if I ever see Owen Wilson again. But this trailer shows us that not all true stories have to be inspiring. Some of them can just be funny! It’s like someone adapted a story from the Darwin Awards into a film. I may be getting ahead of myself, but that’s how good this trailer is. You’re going to want to watch this trailer over and over again.

Sinister 2

What it is: The horror movie I’m reviewing today because I didn’t want to watch the trailer for The Human Centipede 3. Sorry, horror movie fans, but I had to draw the line somewhere.

Pros: +Trick with the flashlight actually got me pretty good.

+Trailer is actually exciting.

+Graphic violence

Cons: -Didn’t I review this trailer already? Oh wait, that was Insidious III.

-Kid holding the camera and screaming at the end just looks stupid.

-If that nerd in the trailer knows whats going on, why doesn’t he go all Ghostbusters on that Bagul thing?

-Possessed children? Haunted videos? This is the most original horror movie trailer I’ve ever seen.

Overall Score: 2/5 stars (I might go see this movie.)

This is one of the more intriguing horror movie trailers I’ve seen so far. That being said, it still suffers from the same lack of originality that horror movies typically suffer from. That being said, I think one of the best things about this blog is that it’s a good way for movie goers of any kind to find something to watch. So, if the things I complain about are the things you enjoy, go see this movie. I still get views on this blog either way!

Just Before I Go

Just Before I Go

What it is: Seann William Scott’s career tries to kill itself.

Pros: +Rob Riggle. Not that he’s particularly good in this trailer. I just like him.

Cons: -Courtney Cox directing?

-So, you show us a clip of Seann William Scott insulting an old woman, and expect us to feel sorry for him?

-What’s with that cast billing? You got you A-listers mixed with D-listers!

-Is it really necessary to put Elisha Cuthbert in a fat suit? There are plenty of talented fat actresses out there! Why give this role to a skinny chick?

Overall score: 0/5 stars (Do not go see this movie.)

If you’re looking for a summer blockbuster, you’re looking at the wrong trailer. With a confusing cast and no real funny parts to be found, this trailer fails to take the edge of the sensitive subject of suicide. the less said about this trailer, the less I have to think about it and the better I will feel as a result.

Entourage

Entourage

What it is: The doucheist show on HBO gets a movie. Hey, it could have been worse. We could be getting a Two Broke Girls Movie.

Pros: +Ronda Rousey kicking that guys ass.

Cons: -No jokes you can laugh at without feeling like a jerk.

-Nice try, T.I.! You can’t sneak a rapper past me!

-Guest stars will probably just be short cameos.

Overall score: 1/5 stars (I will probably not go see this movie.)

Honestly, I was expecting to hate this trailer alot more then I did. This trailer gives me a much better vibe than that one episode of the tv show my friend made me watch. Nevertheless, this movie doesn’t really do anything for me. I guess that’s the problem with movie adaptions of TV shows. You need to be into the show to appreciate them. If you like the show, I won’t begrudge you going to see this movie. But do me a favor, and stay away from this trailer.

The D Train

The D-Train

What it is: A trailer I wish would collide with it’s namesake.

Pros: None here.

Cons: -Trailer pretty much covers the entire conflict of the movie.

-I’m getting a Get Him to the Greek vibe from this trailer.

-Too dramatic to be funny, not serious enough to be a drama. I’d hate to get all artsy fartsy, but this trailer doesn’t know what it is.

Overall score: 0/5 stars (Don’t go see this movie.)

Yeah, I don’t know about you, but I really didn’t like this trailer at all. I wasn’t even close to laughing, there’s nothing funny about Jack Black yelling and reliving his high school anxieties! I don’t know what else to tell you, but I found this trailer horrible.

Straight Outta Compton

Straight Outta Compton

What it is: The only movie I can’t hate on due to it’s casting of rappers.

Pros: +Great soundtrack, obviously.

+Really good way to learn about the history of rap.

Cons: -I get the feeling someone’s going to complain about the vilification of the police in this movie. I get that cops and rappers are supposed to be natural enemies, but still…

-Is Ice Cube losing weight? Someone left him in their drink too long.

-Main character nails it on the first try? At least let him struggle with it first!

Overall score: 3/5 stars (I might go see this movie.)

I was not very interested in this movie to begin with, because I’m not a huge rap guy. Probably because I’m not a teenager who’s mad at this parents. Either way, this movie looks powerful, and might help me deal with my ignorance in rap. Either way, this trailer has been a pleasant surprise.

Kung Fu Killer

Kung Fu Killer

What it is: Not as lousy a movie as the title makes it sound,

Pros: +Kung fu action and lots of it!

+Villain jumping across the rooftops was pretty cool.

Cons: -Running through the clotheslines a little cliche.

Overall score: 5/5 stars (I will go see this movie.)

Look, it’s not hard to make a good martial arts movie. Just make sure you have more fighting then talking, because actions speak louder then words. The worst martial arts movies I’ve seen had way too much plotline (The Legend of Chun-Li, The Tournement). Although this trailer appears to have a romantic subplot, with credits like Ip Man, this movie looks to be in good hands.

The 33

The 33

What it is: A movie that makes you feel like a dick for making all those jokes about those miners all those years ago. Everyone was making jokes about them, right? It wasn’t just me? Oh boy.

Pros: +Banderas’s overacting actually fits the film’s setting pretty well.

+Trailer gives you a chance to brush up on your Spanish.

Cons: -Subtitling job is a bit confusing. They’re speaking English, but with Spanish subtitles? Why not make the whole movie in Spanish? The intertitles already are! And no one necessarily wants this film to be an English except the Western world, and that market has been pandered to enough.

Overall score: 4/5 stars (I probably will go see this movie)

This trailer is relevant and moving, something I recommend all fans of true stories and survival to watch. The only real problem I have with it is the fact I know how it ends, but even so, at least I’m guaranteed a happy ending. Although, it does raise an interesting question; do recent events make better movies, or do you have to wait a bit before a true story becomes movieworthy?

Aurora

Aurora

What it is: One last attempt to ride The Hunger Games’s coattails. Seriously, they even have a Katniss Everdeen-looking chick running around with the exact same hairstyle!

Pros: +Very good wording during the narration. Makes the plot clear without outright stating it.

Cons: -Killer robot is most likable character in this trailer.

-No idea who the protagonist is, since the stereotypical boy hero was only in the trailer for the last minute.

-What was with that A.I. voice acting? Sounded like she has a cold or something.

Overall score: 0/5 stars (I won’t go see this movie)

This trailer has committed a serious error, it makes the plot seem generic, which it very much is. Nothing in this trailer looks original, and originality is the strongest feature of a good sci-fi film. The girl in the trailer looks like she was taken from The Hunger Games, the killer robots look like they came from Titanfall, and worst of all, the airships emerging from the sea reminded me too much of Battleship.
