Trailer Trash Heap: Super Bowl Spots, Bridesmaids, & More
Normally we don’t include TV spots on the Trash Heap, but this week we’re making an exception for all of the Superbowl spots.
Superbowl Spots
Captain America:The First Avenger
After months of waiting for footage from the First Avenger Marvel finally delivered, and I am not disappointed. From Stanley Tucci prepping Steve Rogers for the Super Soldier Process, to Hugo Weaving’s big reveal of the Red Skull everything I’ve seen from this movie so far has looked spot on. Now, how long will we have to wait for a full trailer?
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
I’m starting to think I suffer from battered wife syndrome, because it doesn’t matter what he’s done to me in the past, I’m ready to believe Michael Bay has changed. He loves me, I really think he means it this time. He wouldn’t hurt me again… would he?
Thor
This is the most we’ve seen of the humans Thor is interacting with in the film and 30 seconds isn’t enough time to alleviate my fears that the humans are all one dimensional. I hope I’m wrong, but every piece of footage so far has made the gods seem dynamic and emotional, while the humans could be cardboard cutouts or the Twilight cast.
Super 8
ET phone home, to tell them he’s going to be late cause he’s got some earthling ass to kick.
Fast Five
Why are they repeating stunts from other Vin Diesel franchises. Didn’t he do the car/base jumping thing in XXX?
Battle Los Angeles
This is the first spot that really hooked me. I want to see this war. Yeah, I called it a war movie. I think their approach may work in that context. That’ll do Sony, that’ll do.
Rio
Kind of a weak commercial for a film I know I want to see. This is what happens when you have no focus when you sit down to cut your footage. Trying to shove too much in.
Priest
I really wish they had switched the hero and villain in this movie. Karl Urban is such a bad ass. Plus this looks like Judge Dredd with Vampires.
Kung Fu Panda 2
I thought the first film rounded out really nicely, what could they come up with for a sequel? Don’t look for any answers in this teaser.
The Adjustment Bureau
Didn’t Ben Affleck make this movie when it was called Paycheck?
Rango
Congratulations to Nickelodeon for getting me hooked on this movie and still leaving an air of mystery to it. Between the humor and the adventure I’m sold.
Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Congrats Disney. I think I know how the movie ends thanks to your crappy teaser trailer. I don’t want to potentially spoil it for anyone, but let’s just say I was a big fan of Splash.
Cowboys and Aliens
Is that… is she… naked Olivia Wilde? Do we need to see anything else about this movie? We’re there.
Limitless
This is what happened to Bradley Cooper’s character in between season’s 2 and 3 on Alias.
Bridesmaids
We get it, you wanted to make a female version of Hungover. Casting Kristen Wiig, smart. Making this movie, not so much.
Ironclad
It’s like a British version of the Alamo, or a medieval Assault on Precinct 13 if you will.
Take Me Home Tonight Red Band Trailer
I’ve seen this movie and I’ll have a full review closer to its release date, but let me say this trailer doesn’t do the film any favors. The movie is much better than this trailer makes it out to be. Way to release a shitty red band trailer for the sake pf proving your movie has cussing. What you’ll want to go see this movie for is the charming characters, and this trailer lacks all of the movies charm.
Elektra Luxx
If you haven’t seen Women in Trouble, you should definitely check it out as soon as possible. It is a very random, light, and fun comedy following 6 women in LA. This follow up brings the focus specifically on Carla Gugino’s porn star character Elektra Luxx. The original film is full of quirkiness and spirit, and this trailer gives me high hopes for the follow up.
Ceremony
This is just awkward. #1, I don’t think I want to see Lee Pace playing an asshole. It just doesn’t sit well with me. #2 I’m sure a casting director was looking at Michael Angarano and Uma Thurman to play mother and son, cause that is a massive age difference. Can I get passed it to enjoy the awkward comedy? We’ll see.
The Music never Stopped
Do I want to go see a movie that i can tell is most definitely going to make me cry? Yes. Yes I do. Why do we do this to ourselves?
Submarine
These quirky indie’s are looking more and more calculated. I imagine the filmmakers asking themselves, “How close can I get this to Rushmore before anyone notices?”
Hanna
Wow. And I thought our first look was bad ass. It’s almost like the sequel to Leon we always wanted but never got to see where matilda just goes ape shit and kills everyone.
Win Win
Not since Vision Quest have I been this excited to see a high school wrestling movie. Please note I was 6 when Vision Quest came out.
Monagamy
Why would anyone want to watch a movie where a guy ignores Rashida Jones to obsess over a prostitute. Who are they making these movies for? Seriously.
