The Book of Eli
The teaser had me excited enough, but this new theatrical trailer looks even better. Check out Denzel Washington in a movie where you can see what the fuck is happening, because it wasn’t directed by Tony Scott! But wait, there’s more! Gary Oldman being a creepy bastard! And hotness personified, Mila Kunis!
From Paris With Love
And also, even if you don’t like John Travolta, you have to admit that watching a bald John Travolta shoot everyone in the face looks pretty fun.
The House of the Devil
What’s this? A horror movie that looks scary? Haven’t seen one of those for a while. Check it.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
It’s time to face facts; somebody is going to remake, or reboot, or just generally take a shit on every movie you’ve ever loved. I’ve been cynical about it for as long as I can. It’s time to give up. The 80’s have lost. The new Nightmare on Elm Street movie looks less like a reboot, and more like somebody just took all their favorite moments from the whole series, and put them in one new movie. It has a couple good things going for it though.
- It actually looks like it might be kind of scary.
- It’s got the girl who played Ruby on Supernatural.
- Jackie Earle Haley is the only person (other than Robert Englund) I can get behind as Freddy.
And what’s with putting Freddy in a sympathetic light? Laaaame? Isn’t he supposed to murder children? It looks like he’s wrongfully accused in this one. I wonder if there’s a court scene. Everyone loves a little courtroom drama!
Denzel in a Road Warrior-isk film, I’m sold.
As for A Nightmare on Elm Street, I loved the later comedic Freddy especially in Freddy’s Dead. The only film so far that I completely didn’t like was New Nightmare. Hopefully they don’t make the film too serious and make Freddy sympathetic.
OK i really really want to see “From Paris with Love” now. Bald John Travolta looks awesome. It looks like it will be terribly fun. As in probably terrible, but oh so incredibly fun.
“Courtroom drama”. That’s how you win Oscars.
Haha! That would be hilarious if A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) won the academy award for best courtroom scene. Do they have an award for that yet? They should probably just break down and make new awards that are accurate. “Best Hot Chick Using Makeup to Look Homely”, “Best Stuff About Gay People That Makes You Uncomfortable at First, But Then You Learn to Accept it”, and “Best Job Playing a Recently Dead Celebrity”.
How about “Best Awkward Silence” and “Most Side Boob in a Sex Scene”?
