Weekend Vid Picks: The Good Trailer, Bad Trailer Game
I’ve mentioned previously that I’m a movie trailer junkie, and because I don’t get out to the movies that often, most of the time I’m watching trailers online on sites like joblo.com). Will I see either of these? Honestly, probably not — the trailers were enough to get the taste, for good or for bad. But the trailers, they are so good!
When you think “dark, dystopian sci-fi romance,” would you necessarily think of the title Boogie Town? Well, I guess I didn’t mention the part where it’s also a dance movie. Watching all of those elements get smashed together into one trailer…well, it’s special, I’ll give you that. Summer 2009 can’t get here fast enough! (The film is now set for a 2010 release.)
Meanwhile, I’ll be upfront about this and say that the reason the trailer for The Fourth Kind is awesome isn’t because Milla Jovovich tells us how to properly pronounce her name; it’s because by doing so, she breaks the fourth wall and sets up this alien abduction thriller as the most terrifying kind of truth.
Are there other awesome or awful trailers you’ve seen recently? Tell us in the comments!
