Trailer Trash Heap: Smith’s Red State, Hanna, and More!

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Hanna</h2>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>As I watched this trailer for the first time, I apparently distracted Jonathan London, because I accidentally exclaimed “Oh Shit!” not once, but twice. This trailer has turned my head and is infectious enough that I immediately want to share it with others. Eric Bana as a bad ass CIA op who trains his daughter to kill for him is a pretty dope scenario to me. Cate Blanchett and Saoirse Ronan look to play what I like to call “ass kicker chess,” ala Jason Bourne, looks fun.</p>

<h2>Red State</h2>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Ashton Lauren was able to give us <a title=”kevin Smith Red State Trailer” href=”../../news/kevin-smith-s-red-state-has-a-trailer”>her thoughts</a> on the trailer for Red State earlier this week, and Jonathan is going to discuss on the podcast this week. I personally can’t wait to see this movie, as it looks like nothing that Smith has attempted in the past. The mood and tone set in this trailer are hard to ignore and it makes me hopeful that Smith has risen to a new level as a filmmaker. This really makes me hopeful for his new movie “Hit Somebody,” since that too is in a different genre than we’ve seen him work in.</p>

<h2>Cedar Rapids</h2>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Ed Helms is funny, Ed Helms teamed with John C. Reilly looks like comedy nirvana. While the film looks as subtle as an Ed Hardy fan on the Jersey Shore, it does look to hold a lot of promise as Helms character enters the world for the first time and discovers what lies beyond his little safe life.</p>

<h2>Drive Angry 3D</h2>
<p>I may have commented on it before, but this latest trailer for Drive Angry 3D really sums up my view on the film, it is the Ghost Rider film we were all looking for the first time around. Looking like Johnny Blaze in his post-spirit of vengeance days (complete with scarred eye and everything) Nicolas Cage busts out of hell to chase down a cult who kidnapped his daughter. He’s even got a hell fire shotgun!</p>

<h2>Lincoln Lawyer</h2>
<p>Every so often Matthew McConaughey feels the need to attempt to play a lawyer. I’m not sure why, but it’s something he feels he must do. Looking like a cross between “The Firm” and “Primal Fear” McConaughey represents Ryan Phillipe as he tries to defend against rape and assault charges. But all is not as it seems, and the trailer makes that clear in a very overwrought way, making me weary of an overwrought film.</p>

<h2>Waiting For Forever</h2>
<p>This could have been called creepy guy just won’t let go. If this movie doesn’t end in a murder-suicide I call foul. I know too many people that are stunted into this childish clinginess to past relationships, and this movie looks to take it to a whole different creepy level. Aww, you were best friends when you were ten? Get over it. Although I guess I can picture being mildly obsessed with Rachel Bilson.</p>

<h2>Black Death</h2>
<p>This looks like Season of the Witch, complete with nose mask wearing guys. Glad to see Sean Bean getting so much work, but it looks as though his only two speeds are spy and knight. Oooh, I know, let’s have him play an undercover knight! Perfect! Greenlight!</p>
