Trailer of the week 2: Spider-Man 3

Okay, so I'm typing the trailer of the week bit on Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and I'm almost ready to scratch this part of the site off of today's to-do list, and then my eye catches a link to the final Spider-Man 3 trailer. I shrug, think to myself: "There's probably nothing in there we haven't seen before anyway", but click the link anyway, and three minutes later I'm writing this piece. The final Spider-man 3 trailer is amazing. Yes, there is a lot of stuff in here we have seen in the previous trailer, but it's all cut together in sequence, so we actually have an idea what's going on, plus there are some amazing new bits and pieces in there that can only make you wonder which threequel is going to be bigger and cooler this summer: Spidey or Pirates? And to be honest, I have no idea what the answer to that question will be.

Trailer of the Week: Pirates of the Caribbean 3

How can the trailer of the week really be any other trailer than this one? After seeing the second Pirates movie, I was a bit annoyed at the widely open ending that more or less forces you to go out and see the third one as well (look, I was planning on doing that already anyway, you didn't have to be this way!). After seeing the trailer, any grudges have dissapeared and I'm completely ready for part three! Frankly, it looks amazing, with all the great characters from the first two movies returning, helped out by some new characters that look like they could really add something to this movie (although there might be a bit too many characters now, and it seems like some of the older characters are getting lost in the mix). Still, I cannot wait to see the third movie now, while before seeing this trailer Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was just an itch at the back of my head.

Trailer of the week: Paprika

Looking at the trailer for this new Japanese animated movie the first time, I marvelled at the wonderful visuals and great music. The combination of images and music gave me a feeling that I just have to see this movie, which seems to crackle with imagination and energy. Then I watched the trailer a second time to see what it was actually about. And a third time. And after the fourth time I just shrugged my shoulders and thought to myself: "Even though I have absolutely no idea what on earth is going on here, I still have to see this movie." All in all, a great trailer then!

Trailer of the week: Next

Sometimes, you want to see a trailer to a movie that evokes emotion, making you want to see the full movie because it could be uplifting and touching, and because you want to see something original that is unlike anything you have seen before. And sometimes, you just want to see a trailer in which they blow shit up real good. The trailer for Lee Tamahori's Next falls smack dab in the middle of the latter category, as this is a movie about a man, played by Nicholas Cage, who can see in the future. Some government organisation realizes this and wants him to predict the future for them, since terrorists have threatened that there will be a big attack in the near future. Cage's character is reluctant to help. until it becomes clear to him that his wife/girlfriend will also die in the attack. The trailer looks like this could be a good piece of action entertainment, where they have actually thought longer than five seconds about the plot. One question though: what is Nicholas Cage doing with Tom Hanks' hair from The Da Vinci Code?

Trailer of the week: Shrek the Third (new trailer)

I'll admit straight away that even though I really enjoyed the first two Shrek-movies a lot, I wasn't as over the moon about them as many other people. I thought they were very well made pieces of family entertainment, but not the groundbreaking animation extravaganzas they have been made out to be. That being said however, the new trailer has me really looking forward to the third movie. It's the epitomy of a packed trailer. The makers have squeezed so much into just over two minutes that you wonder how long the movie is going to have to be to handle all the different storylines well. Some of the things I particularly liked: That amazing looking scene where the witches swoop down on Far Far Away, the princesses teaming up as some sort of group of superheroes, and the fact that Puss n Boots is back, which would be enough for a full movie in it's own right (speaking of which, where is that Puss n Boots movie anyway?).

Trailer of the week 2: Grindhouse second trailer

Some weeks throw up a surprise right at the end, and this week is no exception. Because ladies and gentlemen, here we have the second trailer for Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse, a movie that looks like it may very well be one of the coolest things to come out this year. I already spent a lot of bandwith on the numerous times I watched the teaser, and I'm sure that will also happen with the offical trailer. There's plenty of new things to see here, which will only make you want the final thing even more. We see some more from the main characters in the trailer, plus some new characters we haven't seen before. Judging from the trailer, the movie will be full off kick-ass action that ain't for the squeamish. Then again, did you even expect anything else?

Trailer of the week: The second Bee Movie trailer

You might remember the first trailer for Jerry Seinfeld's animated movie Bee Movie. I thought it was one of the funniest trailers of the year when it came out, and it was certainly unique. It did not show any animation at all, just Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and some others dressed up as bees, filming a scene where they got totally mangled. And here is the second trailer, which follows in the footsteps of the first one, and while it's not as fresh and original as the first one, it's still fun to see Seinfeld return to that ridiculous outfit. This time, he meets up with a certain famous movie director, and hey, we even get to see some animation! Click!
