Sean Bean plays bad so well.  Even better, I think he’s perfect in the role of the protagonist who’s struggling with the tendency to be a dirtbag.  He walks the fine line like few other actors currently in the business.  And of course in films made in the the good ol’ US of A nothing enhances a bad guy’s schtick like a British accent.  Even Disney figured this one out. 

This movie looks good because it looks like there’s a lot of gray area as far as who deserves sympathy in this film.  I love a film that doesn’t lay it all out in black and white for the viewer.  I think I may have to see this one.

This is the newest trailer for the new Dreamworks animated movie Megamind starring Derosby Brothers favorite Will Ferrell. This is the only trailer I’ve seen to date that actually shows a plot for this movie, and the first one that actually makes this movie look halfway decent.

In my opinion the Dreamworks animated movies are hit and miss.  Some I’ve liked and others I thought were absolute crap. Will Ferrell movies tend to go the same route, either being awesome or a $10 in-theater explosive bowel movement. The odds on this movie aren’t good, but I’ve got faith in Will to pull through for us.

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.
