Upcoming Movies
I’ve been busy this morning. Between surfing the web, playing Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, and falling asleep on the couch to Phineas and Ferb, I’ve gotten a lot done this morning. I found trailers to three upcoming movies that look promising.
I’m expecting Cloverfield-type disappointment to set in about a week after seeing Monsters. In an age of incredible possibilities through CGI, I guess I get a little suspicious nowadays when the directors refuse to show you what everybody in the movie is running or hiding from. There’s a fine line between suspense and “we have no idea what to make this thing look like, so we’ll work around it by pretending to be artsy and creative and not show you anything”.

I’m planning for mainstream-horror fare from Case 39, a psychological looking Omen-meets-The Exorcist movie starring Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper. It looks like it has real potential, which is the problem. I can handle a bad movie that knows it’s bad: they’re fun to watch even when they’re meant to be serious. It’s the ones that have all the potential in the world then fail to deliver that I can’t stand. After watching this trailer, I relegated this one to the Red Box pile pending further review.

Let Me In, starring Chloe Moretz (the entertaining and amazingly vulgar Hit Girl from Kick-Ass) looks to be the best of the bunch and has a real indie-horror feel to it. Kid befriends the girl next door who turns out to be a murderous vampire. Maybe I’ll drag the other Derosby Brothers to the theater for this one.

Thanks to Apple Movie Trailers.com, without whom (?) I’d have been extremely less productive this morning. You can see all of these trailers and more by following the link to their site http://trailers.apple.com/.
