Reviewing trailers since 2008

Bride Wars

Well it's been a long time since I've posted anything... so here goes... I just hope my disgusting, cynical viewpoint isn't rusty...

VIEW TRAILER LORES 480  

So basically the plot is simple. Two childhood friends (Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway) both end up having their weddings planned on the same day at the same venue, and put their friendship to the test as they set about to sabotage each other's wedding.

With that said, I can honestly say I want to take the screenwriter who dreamed up this sour, stale plot and make him spend eternity licking the sweat off a camel's nutsack.

Seriously, who banked this movie??? Lehman Bros.???

Watch this trailer and wonder "Who the hell would marry either of these two women???"... No one. Absolutely no one. Sleep with them? Oh hell yes. But marry them? Cripes, I'd rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard than either of these whining brats for the rest of my life.

So you have to ask yourself... "Who would want to see this craptacular piece of celluloid?"

My guess. Single white women. Why? Because this film gives them that secret guilty pleasure of watching two beautiful women's weddings go right into the shitter.

We've all seen it. A single woman telling you that her best friend is engaged, and then that split second when her face twitches as she imagines her friend dropping the curling iron in the bathtub, or stepping into oncoming traffic.

So gentlemen? If your girlfriend asks you to go see this movie with her you need to realize there are only two possible endings to this film.

1) Both girls end up killing each other. Their boyfriends turn out gay. And all their gifts are returned.

or

2) Both women learn true friendship. Stop fighting, and both get married at the same time on the same altar.

Personally I'm guessing it's #2. Which means that your girlfriend after seeing this film will either expect you to marry her or she'll break up with you for being such an ass. Either way you lose.

I would get more stimulation out of watching white static on my television for 2 hours than try and sit through this dribble.

And if my girlfriend asked me to go see this with her I would break up with the idiot before she could find out where it's playing.

"AN AMERICAN CAROL"

Every now and then a film comes along that is so groundbreaking, so original, so damn fucking funny that you can't wait until it's release date...

THIS, my friends... Is not one of those films.

VIEW TRAILER:   HIRES

An American Carol tries to get laughs because it thinks their core audience is a bunch of brain-dead neanderthals... And you know what? They would be correct.

This film bashes you over the head with it's "IF YOU'RE A LIBERAL, YOU HATE THIS COUNTRY" kind of humor much like a schoolyard bully tries to prove his point by rubbing your face into the pavement.

At least there IS a message to this film. If you question your leaders, or want to speak freely, then you'd better expect my boot in your teeth. God Bless America.

Personally, if I want to see a political comedy I'll watch a Bush Administration Press Conference.

And aren't all these right wing oligarch's (sorry for the big words if you live in a Red State) loaded with tons of ca$h???... If so, then why does this movie look like it was filmed in my backyard using my handheld mini-dv camera? I've seen more production value on wedding videos.

My god, this film even has Bill O'Reilly in a cameo? Who thought that clown could act? I've seen better lines delivered by David Hasselhoff eating a hamburger off his kitchen floor.

Basically, if you find this trailer funny, and want to go see it then may I make a suggestion on a better way of spending your precious 2 hours?

1) Remove some of those rusted car parts from your front yard.

2) Learn to read.

3) Clean your loaded shotgun.

4) Count to 20 without using your toes. (sorry, forgot you only have 2 hours)

5) Take your sister out on a nice date.

6) Go buy Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" - then refer to #2

7) Put another "Support the Troops" bumper sticker on your truck, then go back to watching Fox News until you fall asleep on the couch.

8) Open your Bible and interpret it any way you see fit.

9) Send your brother a few packs of cigarettes so that he may use it as currency where he now resides.

10) Kick your wife, girfriend or dog.

The idea of watching this film appeals to me about as much as feeding a doberman dog biscuits off my genitals.

Now some may think this entire review may sound bitter, and I'd just like to say that after 8 years of this current Administration I believe I have earned that right, and if you believe otherwise then you don't Support the Troops, America, or our forefathers, and you deserve to get kicked squarely in any teeth you may have remaining.

I just watched the trailer for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"

VIEW TRAILER:     LORES      HIRES      HD480

Okay, first off... How is anyone to know this is an ongoing series??? Are we supposed to be psychic? They should have at least called it Harry Potter 6: Half-Blood or Harry Potter VI: The Return.

So watching this trailer we see some old "wizard" talking to the young wizard with glasses. AND WTF? We have no idea who these people are at all??? They never even mention the name of the juvenile wizard with glasses. 

But now there's another mystery... who is this little rat bastard sitting in this orphange? Is it me, or is there somethin creepy about that little bugger? Says he can talk to snakes??? That's your first clue old man, get the hell out of there.

My guess is that the old man takes him on ala Kenobi tries to help Vader, and this scary little pudknocker turns on him and gives him a serious ass kicking.

I'm not sure how this franchise could have ever gotten up to six episodes. Again, has anyone even heard of the other 5??? I looked it up online.

Harry Potter I: The beginning... nothing...

Harry Potter III: Harry's back.... nothing.

It's sad that a studio would put money behind something so badly marketed. It's as if they just expect the average person to know it's a series,  who this Harry Potter is, and who this freaky little kid in the orphange is going to be when he grows up...

Next time, please spell the entire movie out for us instead of giving us what is essentially a teaser. A small glimpse of what's to come. A simple taste of a plot.

Next time try making a real trailer wherein we know the entire movie except for the last final moments. I want to see the best scenes. The best effects. 90% of the plot, and the entire arc of these characters. All in the span of 2 minutes.

It actually looks really intriguing without giving anything away so yeah I'll definitely watch it.

"BEER FOR MY HORSES"

YEEEEEE----HAWWW....I just watched the trailer for "Toby Keith's" new movie.

VIEW TRAILER     HIRES     LORES

This film is the perfect recipe for redneck stew:

Add a dash of bigass, gas guzzlin' trucks.

Sprinkle in some loud shotgun blasts and boot kicking violence.

For some added spice throw in some evil Mexicans. (It was gonna be that or members of Greenpeace).

... and of course... "CHEAP BEER"!!!...

YEEEEE-HAWWW.... AWAH-WHOOOOO....

As for the trailer, it opens up with the original line "When you mess with the law, you mess with Deputy Rack Rattlin"... Now I have a bit of advice for the filmmakers... lean closer... I want you to hear this... OMGZ, IT'S THE YEAR 2008 YOU STUPID SONSOFBITCHES!!!... 

As for the entire plot for the movie:

Deputy Rattlin's girl is back in town. He then arrests a mexican druglord. They kidnap his girl. He kicks their ass and gets her back. THAT'S ENTIRELY IT!... I guess they figured the brains of the beer guzzlin, rednecks who would watch this piece of crap might explode if they tried to comprehend anything more than that.

Now "Beer for my horses" is what you call a "good old boy" action/comedy flick.

As for action. There's gunfire. And there's explosions. Wow. Someone really invented the wheel on this special effects bonanza.

*note (to dumb rednecks) It's called sarcasm. S.A.R.C.A... oh nevermind.

As for the comedy? The scenes that were supposed to be funny actually made me weep for humanity. I seriously think I would find more humor in watching "Schindler's List". 

*note (to dumb rednecks) Schindler was not a Sheriff, and he didn't carry a "List" of people's asses he wanted to kick.

I've been fairly nice to this point so let me make myself perfectly clear...

I believe watching this film is reason to have your drivers license revoked, your guns confiscated, your phone disconnected, and your kids taken away.

If you found this trailer mildly entertaining in any way you may very well be suffering from "brain dead" disease. Symptoms include: Watching reruns of "Cops", beating your wife, finding your daughter attractive, and repeating anything you hear on Fox News.

"SURFER, DUDE"

I just finished watching the "Surfer, Dude" trailer, and feel lucky that there is no link to the trailer as it will rot your soul.

 

No one deserves to sit through even 2 minutes of this garbage except maybe Don Dowell, who once kicked my ass in 5th grade.

"DEATH RACE"

Yes, brace yourself... It's a review for "Death Race". It's like a nascar prison film with hot chicks! It's a redneck's wet dream!!!...

 

Ya know, if I really wanted to sit with a bunch of drunken, stoned, sex-starved morons I would just go visit our House of Congress.

"WATCHMEN"

So the all-time greatest graphic novel has finally been transferred to the big screen.

VIEW TRAILER     STANDARD      HD480p

 

I will spend $10. I will buy the blu-ray dvd. I will even write down the name of everyone in the credits so that if this film sucks ass I'll know who to blame.
