Monsters University

I was excited out of my mind for this movie at the teaser trailer, then from the first trailer, and I continue being excited during this trailer.  While I do now essentially know the ENTIRE plot, I don’t care, it’s a kids movie, it’s not going to be that hard to figure out anyway.

 

The Philosophers

Despite the fact that this trailer pretty much tells you the whole movie – I don’t care. I want to see it.  I like the psychological mind game type things, and my sister and I always talk about our post-apocalyptic or zombie apocalypse survival plan (basically, she’s screwed), so I will love this movie.  Of course, my sister and I will both be yelling as to who they should/should not take the whole movie, but whatever.

 

Planes

I normally like animated kids movie but have zero desire to see this one.  Looks like Cars (obviously).  Might be good for people with kids that like planes….  but I won’t be seeing it.  It’s Disney trying to make a Pixar movie, without Pixar (ie like Cars 2, which didn’t do so hot).  So, I call skip.  Also, I just noticed who a ton of the voices are…. which should be… interesting…. Val Kilmer, Dane Cook (the main one, actually), Brad Garrett, John Cleese, Gabriel Iglesias, Cedric the Entertainer… very random assortment and I’m not sure I like it…

 

Prisoners

This trailer essentially tells you the whole movie, and looks really good, until about 1 min 50 seconds in.  It does take the completely predictable and been done way too many times turn at that point, but it doesn’t matter, I will still see it.  Paul Dano looks incredible as the creepy kidnapper.  I love the very psychological movies and watch people crack under pressure and how things effect them.  So I would have liked it better if they didn’t take the predictable route (one parent goes rouge and kidnaps the kidnapper)…. but still, I’ll see it because of how amazing the cast looks.

 

We’re The Millers

This looks hysterical, and I normally don’t like funny movies.  I will definitely be seeing this movie.  Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis? Yes.

Man of Steel – Official Teaser Trailer: Johnathan Kent

I think this teaser trailer is AWESOME.  Except for one thing.  I kind of wish at the end it didn’t show him flying up into the sky.  I think it would have been a much better “teaser” to get you excited if it left that out, because it just gets you immediately thinking – omg omg omg we get to see him do all awesome superman stuff and yayyy.  But with that scene in the teaser, you think “omg omg we get to see him…. oh. Nevermind.”  But still, good teaser overall.

Man of Steel – Official Teaser Trailer : Jor-El

Basically the same trailer visually, but different narrator and words being said.  I prefer the first trailer, as it is more teaser-y and more exciting, I think.

 

Life of Pi – Official Trailer

The visuals in this look STUNNING.  Simple, and beautiful.  I want to see it just for that.  I’ve never read the book but know what it’s about.  I forgot what movie I saw – but I’ve seen the fish jumping in the boat scene as a teaser trailer type thing a while ago, and it looked awesome.  So yeah, the visuals look incredible so I’ll see it.

 

ParaNorman: Hand-Making the World Featurette

This is so cool to see what goes into the making of a film like this – and I love the level of detail put into even the little things – such as the words on chip bags in a vending machine in the background.  AWESOME.  The movie looks good, but seeing the making of makes me want to see it even more, just to support the people who devoted so much time to it.

 

Battle of the Year – Official Trailer

Hey look, it’s a dance movie with Sawyer from “LOST” (Josh Holloway) and Josh Peck from “Drake and Josh”.  Oh, and Chris Brown.

Yeah, I’ll pass.

 

The Campaign – Official Trailer 3

I hate Will Ferrell.  A lot.  But I think Zach Galifinakis looks so funny in this, that I’ll let it slide and go see it.  And he doesn’t have a beard… weird!  But I’ll see it and just zone out of all the Will Ferrell scenes.
