Instructions Not Included trailer: why you’ve probably never heard of this hit movie
I have a vague impression of having heard a whisper of this movie somewhere, but I never received a press release about it, nor a screening invitation.

The Family trailer: you can take the mobster out of Brooklyn…
Awww. The family that commits crime together goes into witness-protection together.
Prisoners trailer: Detective who now?
I am deeply concerned about the fact that one character is called “Detective Loki.”
All Is Lost trailer: but where is the tiger?
Hmm. Is there something in the zeitgeist that’s prompting movies about desolation and survival in harsh conditions?
Dallas Buyers Club trailer: please take Matthew McConaughey seriously now
If you’d noticed that Matthew McConaughey had been looking rather terrifyingly gaunt recently, this is why.
How I Live Now trailer: the apocalypse is for girls, too
Ooo! A (vaguely) science-fictional action survival story… and it’s about a girl? Woo-hoo!
Riddick trailer: why won’t he just die already?
Here be dragons. If tradition holds true, ravaging alien monsters will be the most sympathetic characters here.
Runner Runner trailer: Ben Affleck can *too* do psychopath
Maybe the rebooted Dark Knight will have a pool of crocodiles at stately Wayne manor.
One Direction: This Is Us trailer: girls do so look
I am moved to smack down the many, many people who dismiss this movie and the band on the sole basis of their appeal to young girls.
Getaway trailer: Ethan Hawke is fast; I’m furious
This bullshit narrative trope that imperils a woman to motivate a man has got to stop. It’s lazy, cheap, and offensive.
