Bad Words
Now I’m not normally one to find movies funny, but dear god this looks hilarious! I also have a thing for Jason Bateman, so maybe that helps. It also might help that I’m totally that person. I’ll say most anything to kids just to annoy them, mostly because they annoy me. Does that make me a bad person? Yes, probably but I don’t care. The kid, Rohan, looks hilarious. I think it’s also interesting to see Bateman in a directing role of a movie. I know he’s done a couple episodes here and there of shows, but this shall be interesting.
Divergent
This is the second trailer to come out for Divergent. I have read the books and enjoyed them. It’s kind of nice that a lot of things are exactly as I have imagined them. This trailer does show you a LOT of the plot. It doesn’t seem to change a lot, so far. Except that it does focus on some characters that were seemingly unimportant in Divergent (but might come in as more important in later books :p). I’ll definitely see this and am glad the trailer looks close to the book.
A Million Ways to Die in the West
Another funny movie that I think I will like… but that’s because it is Seth McFarlane…. and NPH is in it. Yes please. I’m sold. It looks like a nice ridiculous live action episode of Family Guy. Yes please. I hope though it’s not like all the funny parts are in the trailer. That will be the only thing that might go wrong. But so far, it looks good.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I liked the first Captain America more than most people, I did have a nice time watching it. But hot damn this one looks GREAT. I’ve been looking forward to seeing what they are going to do with the Winter Soldier, and explain how he got there (since his story will have to be changed a bit…). I do know we must have some flashbacks, because apparently Dominic Cooper is reprising his role as Howard Stark, according to IMDb, so we might have some similarities to the Winter Soldiers actual story. Anyway, I’m excited. This trailer we also get to see the Falcon in full force. Yes please. But dang does the Winter Soldier look awesome. If you’re a fan of Agents of Shield, they left a nice little easter egg in an episode a few weeks ago, where Sky was reading a plaque of “fallen members” and the only name she read was “Bucky Barnes.” I like how they are really tying in ALL of their Marvel universe completely. Nice job. Anyways, in short, this trailer looks awesome and I can’t wait for this movie.
Transcendence
YES. There are so many things I like about this movie. The crew on this movie is GREAT. Let me just start with the fact that Wally Pfister is the director. That name might not sound familiar because this will be his first time directing. However, he has been the directory of photography on movies such as the Dark Knight Trilogy, The Prestige, Inception, Moneyball, and Memento. So clearly, a Christopher Nolan guy (who is an exec. producer, btw). That makes me think that this movie is going to be gorgeous. It already looks dark, gritty, and very realistic, but the surreal scenes look fantastic. I know I will enjoy this, if only for the visuals. The plot is an interesting one, and I like the idea of it. It could be really great or could be too weird and not well thought out…. however, I think considering the cast and the crew, it has great potential of being awesome. I’m very excited for this one.
