I like movies set in the sixties and seventies… Done well, the era gives them an instant cool-factor regardless of how bad the movie might otherwise be (Bullitt, for example). They also tend to have good soundtracks (Blow), and soundtracks are half the battle in making a compelling trailer. So I was pleased to see a new trailer this week, set in 1970’s San Francisco about the Zodiac killer. Of all the trailers I saw today, this is the one I’d be mostly likely to drag myself to a theatre to see, but even then, only a 65% chance I think.
Another movie that I’d at least try to see on an airplane flight is Pierce Brosnan try to macho-up a bit after everyone who saw the latest James Bond actor realized what a metrosexual pussy Brosnan’s version was. So he grew (glued?) a big, raggedy beard and is playing cowboy in Seraphim Falls which I think will end up being pretty formulaic. The very first scene of the trailer is the “The man who gets Bond lives” style.
Looking like a bad blend of Rear Window, Red Dawn, and any stupid Slasher-movie, I’ll be giving Retardia a miss. Since it’s targetted at the 15-19 crowd, I’m sure I won’t be missed anyway.
Unfortunately this ends my movie trailer review. What’s worse is that I think I have exhausted the pipeline of upcoming movies. Fact of the matter is, there probably isn’t a whole lot to watch during the next three to six months. I picked out perhaps six movies of a seventy that might have looked interesting. uh oh.
