Reviewing The Previews 11/7

     I know this isn’t as regular a post as some might like, but here’s another round of previews.  I just picked a bunch of random trailers off imdb and formed some opinions.  And in case you forgot…

F- I will never see this movie under any circumstances
D- I will never pay theater price to see this movie but may watch it on Netflix
C- I might pay to see this if nothing else is playing, if not I'll catch it on DVD
B- I am not excited, but I'll probably try to catch it in the theater
A- I'm all in

K-11 – F   Sometime in 2012

            I pride myself in being OK with watching almost anything, but this movie looks too disturbing in all the right ways for me to not want anything to do with it.  It looks like its well made and probably well acted, but I just don’t see what value this movie holds.  It doesn’t look entertaining, I doubt it has any kind of message.  I’ll pass.

The Lone Ranger – C  7/3/13

            There are no two words worse to put on a movie trailer then Jerry Bruckheimer.  As interested as a Lone Ranger remake might have made me, I was pretty much out at that point.  This seems like it’s a great opportunity to bring back an icon that has been out of the public eye for years, but the trailer makes it appear like they have dropped the ball.  There was no trace of the William Tell Overture anywhere, not even some crazy techno modern version.  I have very little faith that this is going to be a good movie.

Good Day To Die Hard – B  2/14/13

            This trailer was everything The Lone Ranger wasn’t.  This was a movie a groaned when I heard about it, but after seeing the trailer I’m a little interested.  Great use of music, nice action, big explosions.  It very well may be a case of a better trailer then movie, but I will see this movie a hundred times before I check out The Lone Ranger.

The Lords of Salem – A  Sometime in 2013

            I’m not sure why I haven’t heard anything about this one.  I just clicked on the trailer and by the end I was as excited to see a movie as I have been in a while.  It’s from the producers of Paranormal Activity and Insidious.  And even better it is written and directed by Rob Zombie.  After a couple of Halloween remakes, it looks like Zombie is leaving mainstream horror for a darker creeper more messed up movie that seems closer to his first two movies.  The trailer is super creepy and while it doesn’t look that gory, it certainly does look disturbing.  I can’t wait for this one.
