Trailer Obsession: TRON: Legacy

I have only seen bits and pieces of the original "Tron" film, and I'm still pumped as hell to check out this movie. Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Michael Sheen, and Olivia Wilde with Daft Punk scoring the soundtrack? Count me in.

And all the trailers have been effing dope. Especially this new one:



"TRON: Legacy" beams into theaters December 17, 2010.

"The A-Team" Movie Trailer Review

This year has a ton of great films coming out that I am looking forward to seeing, such as “Iron Man 2,” “Kick-Ass,” “Hot Tub Time Machine" and “The Green Hornet." I could go on and on. But of all those movies there is one I am looking forward to most: “The A-Team.”

The remake stars Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton Jackson and Sharlto Copley as a group of ex-United States Special Army Forces who are on the run from the government for a crime they didn't commit. The film finally has a trailer and it’s great. (A lower-quality leaked version appeared online recently only to be taken down in most places at the studio’s request.)

The trailer keeps the classic music and style of the television series, and really pushes the action to the extreme, which is getting me even more excited for this flick.

Alongside Jackson’s take on B.A. Baracus, originally made famous by Mr. T, the film stars Neeson as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck and "District 9’s" Copley as “Howling Mad” Murdock.

The casting of this film is seriously perfect. Neeson looks ridiculously badass as Hannibal--cigar, bravado and everything. Cooper and Copley have quickly become two of my favorite actors and they look extremely comfortable in their character's shoes. Joining the male action heroes is Jessica Biel as Faceman’s ex (of course).

The most ridiculous part of the trailer comes at the end with Cooper’s Faceman, manning a tank that's falling from the sky and still shooting bad guys with its machine gun. Hey, there’s parachutes attached to it, so it’s all good.

Does it look like an Oscar winner? No. But that’s not what I want from this movie. What I want is a solid story, a great cast, some over-the-top explosions and witty dialogue. From the trailer, it looks as if I am going to get just that.

Look for “The A-Team” June 11, 2010. Check the out the trailer here.

"She’s Out of My League" Movie Trailer

I’ve been a fan of Jay Baruchel since I saw the vastly underrated television show “Undeclared.” It was great to see him have hilarious supporting roles in “Knocked Up” and “Tropic Thunder,” but I also was waiting for him to take top billing in a movie.

Some other people agreed, and we now have Baruchel starring a film all his own, “She's Out of My League.” The movie centers on Kirk (Baruchel), an average-looking guy who lands a ridiculously attractive girlfriend named Molly.

Not only is Kirk stunned by this development, but so are his friends and family. Everyone is in complete disbelief that someone of her caliber would want to date him. With that cloud of doubt constantly over his head, he must stay on his toes to make the relationship work, because he knows she’s totally out of his league.

The first trailer has been released for the film and while the name and plot may make it seem like a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, this film looks to be very, very funny.

The line, “Are you a plane doctor?” had me laughing out loud, and the writers get a plus for having Kirk work as an airport security guard. I have a family member who works at an airport and I always thought that setting, if used in the right way, would be hilarious.

I am really looking forward to this movie--it’s a great concept in the manner they’re doing it and Baruchel pulls off the lovable loser as good as anyone.

Along with Baruchel, the film stars Alice Eve, Mike Vogel, Debra Jo Rupp and Krysten Ritter.

“She's Out of My League” hits theaters on March 12, 2010. Check out the trailer here.
