LaBeouf looks like he is developing some acting chops too. i wonder if the movie is played out chronologically or if it jumps back and forth in time. i dig the song that starts out the trailer too, i haven't that one since the 80's.

ok this is pretty damn funny but not in the HAHA it made me laugh with a good joke funny, more like a HAHA I can't believe someone was stupid enough to make this stupid fucking movie funny.

Bottom's Up

I shit you not:
Jason Mewes as a "hot shot" bartender, and Paris Hilton as a "rich girl with a heart of gold". HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and direct to video no less

I'm a little embarrassed to bring you this news, but if I had to see it, then you do too :twisted:

on a side note wtf happened here? Is this just worst possible timing in the world or what? And what the hell, Mewes should have had some momentum coming off Clerks 2 ... or at least one would think. So I mean was the Paris kiss scene really worth throwing away any possible chance you might have of getting another job? seriously Mewes? poor bastard now he can't find work and has an STD

We Are Marshall - trailer here

I was very surprised by this trailer, I won't pretend otherwise. Initially I thought this just another Sunday Night Lights or Rudy or whatever, and I can't help but think I've seen this previously but didn't pay attention because I assumed what the story was. However it seems this tale has a lot more depth than I had expected. The trailer might have given away a little too much of the movie for my personal taste but I thought it was effective and I'll certainly be checking this out.

Yo trev, I was just about to post a link to that! Weeeeerd.

I'll say as a precursor that I think both Friday Night Lights and Rudy are pretty good movies, but I was skeptical of this flick, especially because I think I've overdosed on the recent glut of based-on-a-true-story sports fables. Also, it's directed by McG.

Having said that, the thing that I was surprised most by was how well-shot it looked. As a music video veteran maybe McG's aesthetic versatility shouldn't surprise me all that much, but after a career's worth of Sugar Ray videos and the Charlie's Angels franchise I tend to associate his lens with a sort of flat, uber-pop gloss. So... yeah. The story piqued my interest too. Even though I knew what the movie was about beforehand, I figured it would be equally, superficially "inspirational" (everybody died at the beginning of the film, but we won an NCAA Bowl, so everything's better! Yay!), only with the novelty of a true story in tow. Something that Matthew McConaughey's character said at the end of the trailer about how they were just trying to work back to a sense of normalcy makes me think that perhaps -- and perhaps incorrectly -- the movie has more than winning on its mind. Time will tell, I guess. But the trailer was a pleasant surprise.

by **tfactor** on Wed Sep 13, 2006 5:19 pm

Ribbons that's perfect, I love when stuff like that happens in the zone, mostly because it opens to the door to the common yet highly effective words: "great minds ...."

HOWEVER I wasn't sure who McG was so I looked him up and then I saw this if you scroll down a hair on Mr. McG's IMDB list you'll see something sure to make your childhood feel that much more raped! Seriously don't look, because honestly I wish I hadn't :evil:

anyway I couldn't agree with you more about this flick and all. Depending on the response from others here we may need to branch this off to its own thread. The whole trailer just had a great feeling too it and I hadn't thought about the look or visuals in detail until you mentioned it, rather I noticed how it felt or made me feel, which was pleasant. All the same, it looks not at all like any other sports movie thats been put out there recently and the change is certainly very nice.

They have been filming this in my neighborhood; saw McConaughey driving a sweet vintage car by the Krog tunnel a month or so ago.

The Pursuit of Happyness

A new Will Smith film based on the life of Chris Gardner.

This is another trailer that caught me completely off-guard. Very different role than the ones Smith usually takes; seeing him so swagger-less and depressed was actually a bit of a shock for me, but it's a welcome change.

I'm a little uneasy about the story. Obviously it's mostly true, which is cool and all, but still, it's like... "never let life get you down! No matter how shitty your position, you can go out there and make the world your oyster! ....so long as you're smart enough to solve a Rubick's Cube in less than a minute. Umm... yay!" And at the same time, they try to universalize Gardner's experience. I don't really know how to feel about that.

The movie is also obviously making a comment on "the American Dream;" along with the title, you'll see an overt, lingering shot on the American flag in the trailer. Because of that, I'm interested in seeing how Italian director Gabriele Muccino approaches the material. As Americans, I think we all tend to have the same imagery and vocabulary on the idea inculcated into our lives at an early age, so seeing how it's filtered through a different perspective is always welcome. Does that... I don't know if I'm articulating that well. He's definitely got a great eye, in any case. It's a very pretty looking film.

So all in all, surprisingly good trailer. Though I still don't get why happiness is spelled with a 'y' in the title. This concept of "happyness" confuses and INFURIATES us!!!

EDIT: The kid in the movie is his real-life son, which I think was a good casting decision; it seems to have brought out the best in Smith as an actor.

The Other Side

OK I need some help sorting this one out, I was looking at Giovanni Ribisi's IMDB list and I noticed this which sounds pretty cool and has a cast I rather like.

However when I searched for a trailer I found only the one above which I think is this movie

IMDB on the Giovanni version wrote:A modern-day fairy tale that gives new meaning to the old notion: "Things aren't always what they seem." An otherworldly comedy carefully juxtaposing the touching and human with astonishing characters and irreverent humor, "The Other Side" takes place in a world that's bizarre and twisted - replacing conventional metaphors with elements of the surreal.

So do we really have 2 movies coming out wth the exact same title here or what? both of them sound or look pretty damn interesting but seriously won't this just confuse the hell out of movie goers?

Has anyone heard anything about either of these?

I thought this trailer was pretty damn cool and mysterious looking, it certainly seems like something I'd enjoy. However I wasn't even looking for this movie - I was looking for the other "The Other Side"

great now I'm confused, what day is it? Yaaarrrrr

by **Bob Samonkey** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 12:22 pm

TWO MOVIES WITH THWE SAME TITLE??!? How could this happen? That is just strange.

There are you happy now?

yeah you're probably right dog, I don't even think I've liked anything Cedric has been in so why I would like this movie I have no idea. I suppose its probably LL and having just enjoyed her role in Slevin, ... well that and blambo

Norbit - a new Eddie Murphy joint where he plays almost every actor in the movie. Including a 500lbs woman, take that martin lawrence. That water slide scene still has me laughing .. and vomiting at the same time hahaha buuulaaaaa hahaha buuulaaaahh

hey where do you think you're going? We're not done here mister

Deck The Halls Matthew Broderick & Danny DeVito (suprisingly not playing an elf) in this holiday movie about two men fighting it out to prove who has the most christmas cheer. This looks really cute, but you know me - I can't resist something that makes me laugh in the morning, especially on a FRIDAY MORNING! anyway hope you enjoy

by **John-Locke** on Fri Sep 29, 2006 11:48 am

I clicked on both of those links with little (Norbit) to no (Deck The Halls) optimism.

Norbit actually looks pretty funny, hopefully this is a return to the more adult humour that made Eddie famous all those years ago. Kinda looks like The Jerk.

Deck the halls looks terrible but at the same time I think it might actually work, kinda like Christmas Vaction and unlike many other films of this ilk, if the chemistry is right (which it appears to be) then this could be good fun for the whole family which is what it's trying to be, nothing wrong with that. I'll watch it if it's on TV but I am not going to pay any money to see it.

Hard Times trailer - Christian Bale

didn't have time to watch this completely or a couple other highdef trailers over on apple, actually the two available in HD only don't seem to be working but this looked good .. to me anyway .. mostly because they had beer for breakfast

but also because Bale is badass entertaining as a crazy person ... with a gun ...

anyway this looks interesting, thought I'd share. There's a couple other trailers in hi-def over on apple but I just don't have the time right now

A Trailer For Wisit Sasanatieng's The Unseeable

in case you're wondering, Wisit is one of the men primarily responsible for the flourishing "new-wave" of Thai cinema.

Twitch wrote:new ghost story from Wisit Sasanatieng, much loved director of Citizen Dog and Tears of the Black Tiger. This one was scripted by one of the Ronin Team, the group of young horror fiends who gang-directed the Art of the Devil films, and it looks like both author and director are charting some new territory. This is a FAR more subtle work than the Art of the Devil films and it gives Sasanatieng a chance to show a little something other than the massively over saturated palettes of his two previous film. The result? Different than you'd expect from either of them, but looking gooooood ...

I watched it last night. Not bad; it's the first Hollywood Pang Brothers film, I believe. The fact that it's being dumped into theaters during the winter doldrums probably indicates that it's not very good, but there were a few small flourishes that seemed interesting.
