trailer break: ‘Tokyo!’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Three awesome directors — though I would see this for Michel Gondry alone — in a movie that looks like Tokyo je t’aime? I’m there. Tokyo! opens in limited release in the U.S. on March 6; no U.K. release date has been announced.

trailer break: ‘Friday the 13th’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… So Marcus Nispel, the guy who made the pointless 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is at it again, eh? Except don’t call it a remake: it’s a reboot, if you please. Do we really need a reboot of Jason, though? Is he a character … more…

trailer break: ‘Push’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Um, how is this different from X-Men and Heroes? And Firestarter? Crap, Dakota Fanning even looks like Drew Barrymore a bit, doesn’t she? I’m just wondering. Cuz in almost any other job in the world, if you were to go in to your boss’s office and … more…

trailer break: ‘The Pink Panther 2’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… If there was any doubt that Hollywood thinks audiences are morons, surely it must be laid to rest by this trailer. If this is all the funniest stuff — as, alas, trailers tend to focus on — I can’t even begin to imagine the trial that … more…

trailer break: ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… “We’re all programmed to think that if a guy acts like a total jerk, that means he likes you”? Speak for yourself, sister. You’re the idiot for putting up with jerks. Still, feminism is so cute, isn’t it? Like how girls think it’s okay for them … more…

trailer break: ‘Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Remember when our hero Joel Robinson riffed off an old SNL “commercial,” cracking about how the really bad movie he and the bots were watching was “a dessert topping and a floor wax”? I wish Joel were still around to crack wise at Tyler Perry movies… … more…

trailer break: ‘Fanboys’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Well, I hate to say that this trailer spoils some of the best jokes, but it’s true. The appearances of William Shatner, “Harry Knowles” (that’s not actually Knowles)… though I suppose you’d learn about all the geek-appeal cameos and jokes anyway: there’s no way they’d be … more…

trailer break: ‘9’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Finally! Someone has animated the apocalypse! Well, Wall-E came close, but that was more an abandonment than an apocalypse. Here it looks like we’ve got the real thing: the world is trashed (is that Notre Dame on fire in the middle of the trailer? aww, no…), … more…

trailer break: ‘New in Town’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… See, cuz women are hilarious when they’re spoiled-rotten high-powered something-or-others and bone stupid all at the same time. She doesn’t know what snow is? I mean this quite sincerely, and not at all facetiously: Is Renee Zellweger supposed to be mentally retarded here? Also, cuz Minnesotans … more…
