Well, it’s funnier than “Gulliver’s Travels” anyway

After presenting the disaster of a trailer mentioned in the title of this post, last night, I thought long and hard about this one for “Hall Pass.” This trailer for an all-star comedy bringing us Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis as a couple of married buddies who are granted a temporary suspension of their marriage vows by wives Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate isn’t very consistent and just generally feels below par and tired.  At least that’s my take. See what you think.

New “Sucker Punch” trailer

A slow movie news day and I’ve got miles to go before I sleep tonight, literally, so another trailer for you lucky readers, and this one is for Zack Snyder’s somewhat mysterious “Sucker Punch.”

This one explains a bit more about the actual plot than the prior trailer, and then there are the visuals.

I have to say that the plot and the dialogue here, even delivered by a fine actor like Scott Glenn, just sounds doofy. The visuals, however, definitely remain Snyder’s strong suit. Wow.

Guaranteed to make English teachers weep

I know that’s how I feel. Take a look, at this trailer for the latest version of Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels” featuring Jack Black, Amanda Peet, Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, just don’t expect to laugh.

I honestly wish I could tell you that this new trailer for the latest version of Jonathan Swift’s classic has something, anything going for it. However, based on the evidence of this trailer, I really can’t. Nothing funny here. Nothing good here. Nothing.

I’m a bit shocked to learn that this was actually cowritten by Nicholas Stoller of the really fun “Get Him to the Greek” and the outstanding “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” How could it have gone this wrong? Could it be there’s actually something worthwhile in the movie and this is just the worst trailer ever? I don’t remember the last one being much better, but still. Man, between him and the cast, what a waste of real talent.

Trailer for a Friday morning: “I Love You, Phillip Morris”

It’s looking like those of us who gay panicked their way into an excuse to avoid “Brokeback Mountain” will have a new quality film to miss for no good reason, and this film, which recently escaped from a distribution limbo, appears to be very funny indeed. If you dare — or if you’re a woman or an actual person with teh gay — check out this trailer that features some very funny and relatively explicit sexuality and language between stars Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. This could easily be one of the year’s more memorable films. Man up or miss out. Also, if you absolutely need to focus on a hetero thought, Leslie Mann (a woman, also Mrs. Judd Apatow) is actually kind of insanely adorable in this trailer as Carrey’s Christian ex-wife.

Oh, and before I saw this trailer, I somehow figured that the corporation best known for its tobacco products would somehow figure in the story. It’s still kind of an odd name for Ewan McGregor’s character, though.

H/t Screencrave.

“They didn’t want to make E.T.”

I like movie about movies, and this one,”Brothers Justice,” features co-writer director Dax Shepherd, Jon Favreau, Tom Arnold, and, er, Ashton Kutcher, playing themselves (which in the latter two cases is preferable to them playing someone once) and has my attention. Following the lead of Dustin Rowles, I’m not going to say much more than that. See what you think. (A bit NSFW because of some of F-words and a homophobic slur on a martial art.)
