‘Sassy Pants’ Trailer: What Have They Done To Haley Joel Osment?
It takes a while to get over a major transformation in a child actor. There’s an expectation they’ll be preserved as their tiny adorable selves in real life like they are in your favorite movies. Honestly, how long did you just sit in front of your computer and stare the first time you saw buff Jonathan Lipnicki or hot Neville? More »
Trailer: Brave Is Pixar’s First Movie With A Girl Protagonist
Pixar’s next movie is a medieval flick called Brave, and it happens to be the studio’s very first feature with a female protagonist. The main character in this film is Merida, a fiery-haired Scottish princess who goes into battle armed with her trusty bow and arrow. More »
A Closer Look At The Dentristry In The Iron Lady Trailer
The UK Iron Lady trailer was released today, giving us a two and-a-half minute long look at Meryl Streep as the former English Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. To us Americans, The Iron Lady promises to give us a nice history lesson in British politics, British gender relations and, most importantly, the infamous British dental hygiene. Here’s a look at what’s in store for us, teeth-wise. More »
Trailer Recap: Young Adult
Last week, we posted the trailer for Young Adult, Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody‘s new flick starring Charlize Theron. We’ve watched the teaser several times since then and decided it needed more analysis. Hence:
Young Adult tells the story of a woman named Mavis Gary who escapes New York City for a trip back to her little off-the-map hometown. Charlize Theron’s Mavis is a leather-clad stunner of a woman who swills whiskey like it’s coconut water. She is a Young Adult novelist. My own mother is a also Young Adult novelist, and sometimes her Yong Adult novelist friends will come over for get-togethers. They wear those rainbow-colored toe socks and are plastered after half a glass of Shiraz. More »
Trailer Recap: ‘Like Crazy’
Our new Trailer Recap feature gives attention to movie trailers we think warrant in-depth analysis. This time, we address Like Crazy, the upcoming Sundance darling that stars Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin.
This video is either the trailer for a romantic film about young people or a viral ad for an antidepressant; it’s impossible to be sure. We begin on Young People Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin, who appear to be in the throes of the particular type of romance that blossoms in dining halls and library tables and twin-size beds. They both seem the dreamy sort. Anton asks, “Would you mind reading me something?” More »
Ashton Kutcher’s ‘Two and a Half Men’ Trailer Is a Thousand Times Nicer Than My Apartment
I have a single television set in my living room equipped with basic, SD cable; Ashton Kutcher‘s trailer has seven 60-inch, 3-D plasma TVs. My apartment has a single bathroom that my two female roommates and I all share; Ashton Kutcher’s trailer has two bathrooms. My kitchen countertops have been sprayed with pesticide more times than I care to recount; Ashton Kutcher’s trailer’s kitchen has granite countertops. I have a fire escape with a wobbly ledge that one could conceivably use to make a private phone call; Ashton Kutcher’s trailer has a conference area. More »
Trailer Recap: ‘Jack and Jill’
I posted the trailer for the upcoming Adam Sandler vehicle Jack and Jill a little while ago, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how ridiculous it is, and I decided it needed a more in-depth examination.
I’ve decided this movie should be titled Tyler Perry Regifts: Jack and Jill, so let’s all call it that from now on, okay? Terrific. And how does this delightful trailer start? As a documentary about Adam Sandler who has a fancy Hollywood job and a big house and a beautiful wife, played by Katie Holmes and her thetans. But pretty soon, the video devolves into fiction: Adam’s character must pick up his sister at the airport. Adam Sandler has never picked anyone up from the airport in his life! (Okay, okay, maybe one time he picked someone up from Burbank, maybe, but this definitely looks like a miserable, traffic-filled LAX trip to me.) More »
Video: Justin Timberlake’s ‘In Time’ Trailer Is Absurd
The In Time trailer begins with a title card: “In the late 21st Century, time has replaced money as the unit of currency.” Which is pretty much all you need to know to understand perhaps the entire plot of this somewhat silly high-concept flick. Time is money, without it, you die, so people are robbing other people who have lots of time. More »
Video: Watch Sean Penn Emote Via Eyeliner in the ‘This Must Be the Place’ Trailer
We can’t help but groan at the trailer for This Must Be the Place, the flick that will give us Sean Penn as an eccentric, makeup-wearing rock ‘n’ roll star who sets out to hunt down the Nazi who tortured his dying father. How about banning movies about people “finding themselves” for a year or so, yeah? Just to see what happens? More »
Video: Woman Loses Her Mind While Watching the ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn’ Trailer
Here is a video of an adult woman having a full-on emotional breakdown while watching the Twilight: Breaking Dawn trailer. Yep, just a woman utterly losing her shit to a teaser trailer of a movie made for children. “I’m so not ready for this.” Neither are we, sweetie, nether are we. (There is some swearing and also some shrieking.)

Video: Listen to Anne Hathaway’s English Accent in ‘One Day’
Maybe we’re just feeling kind of emotional today, but this One Day trailer totally choked us up. It’s from the director of the awesome An Education (who should maybe hire a more creative movie title come-up-with-er), so we expect good things. Plus, we’re totally buying Anne Hathaway‘s accent. More »
The ‘Abduction’ Trailer Is Surprisingly Awesome
It’s looking like Taylor Lautner may prove himself to be a capable action star, at least if the trailer for the John Singleton-directed thriller Abduction is any indication. Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello, Alfred Molina? This movie might be awesome. More »
Video: The New ‘Smurfs’ Trailer Isn’t Giving Us Very High Hopes
The Neil Patrick Harris/Jayma Mays/Katy Perry Smurfs flick is out with an all-new trailer — and unfortunately it doesn’t look all that great. In fact, we kind of want to squash those little blue buggers, who, apparently, can use “smurf” as a euphemism for absolutely anything. Er, smurf this. More »
Video: Watch The Hangover Part II Teaser Trailer
It’s here! The first look at The Hangover Part II! We’re so excited for this, even though we have no idea what’s going on. Apparently they’re in Thailand? Monkeys and face tattoos and Zach, oh my. More »
Video: The ‘Hesher’ Trailer Is Just An Excuse To See Joseph Gordon-Levitt Shirtless
Hesher! This movie looks super weird. And we kind of can’t even bring ourselves to watch Natalie Portman anymore, to the point where we’re officially prediction a national backlash. But we will follow Joseph Gordon-Levitt to the ends of the earth, especially is he is mostly unclothed. So give the trailer a watch and try to keep from swooning too hard. More »
Video: ‘X-Men: First Class’ Trailer!! Time To Freak Out!
Nerds, put down your pitchforks! The Matthew Vaughn-directed prequel looks really effing good, despite the lack of Wolverine. ARGH! More »
Video: The ‘Arthur’ Trailer Is Very Russell Brand-ed
The remake of the 1981 flick Arthur released its trailer this afternoon, giving us a look at a billionaire Russell Brand (as opposed to, you know, a millionaire Russell Brand). It’s cute, in a Russell-isn’t-Dudley-Moore kind of way. Plus: Jennifer Garner in a comedy role! More »
Video: See The Trailer For ‘Red State,’ The Film Kevin Smith Plans To Self-Distribute
We stopped by Sundance’s Red State after party last night and the room was abuzz with news of a stunt auction director Kevin Smith‘s pulled at the flick’s world premiere not an hour before. Kevin bid on his own movie, for $20, and said that he plans to self-distribute the horror film about a group of radical Christian fundamentalists. He plans to promote the movie through social networking, podcasting, and taking it around on a 15-city tour as party of a new DIY distribution mentality. Kevin explained: More »
Video: The New ‘Skins’ Trailer Is Debauchery Incarnate
The brand new promo vid for MTV’s Skins isn’t so much a trailer for a TV show as it is a trailer for a super awesome party. Drugs! Booze! Lesbians! And all those other things that make us miss high school (not chalupas though — remember chalupas?). More »
Facebook Nerds Riot Over Delayed ‘X-Men: First Class’ Trailer
Apparently, there has been some confusion on the official X-Men: First Class Facebook page about when the film’s first trailer will be released. More »
