Suggestion Box (July 12 – 18)

Movies:

Centurion Trailer – A film that reminds me of the last King Arthur film with the look of the opening battle in Gladiator, and a story that is probably not really like either.  But ooo, Roman soldiers.  Check it out here.

Devil Trailer – Even after the butchering of The Last Airbender I still have some faith in the fact that M. Night Shyamalan is capable of creating great films.  With Devil he both came up with the story and produced, and I am intrigued as to how they handle a film that looks like the majority of it is taking place in an elevator.  Hopefully it will be able to do what the Descent did and play up the more common fears people have, such as claustrophobia, the dark, etc, and not just play on the story element that the Devil is among them.  Check out the trailer here.

Due Date Trailer – The cross-country road trip film is nothing new, but I have no doubts that Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis can bring something new to the genre.  Check it out here.

The Social Network Trailer – Whoever thought that getting the right to fill out a status update whenever I want would come with such a controversial past…  That’s right, it’s a film about Facebook.  Before you roll your eyes, give the trailer a gander because the cast is more than worth the time, and in all honesty this film looks exponentially less annoying than the thing itself.  And yes, I realize some of you reading this were linked here from Facebook…  We have a complicated relationship… Anyway, check out the trailer here.

The Town Trailer – Until today I could say that the most exciting thing I have ever seen a nun do was form a chorus with Whoopi Goldberg, but now I have had the privilege of watching bank robbing nuns in action.  Okay, technically they were just people in masks, but it is an interesting thought nonetheless.  Check it out for yourselves here.

One thought on “Suggestion Box (July 12 – 18)

  1. To be honest, The Social Network is one of my favorite trailers of the year (with Inception and Scott Pilgram). The creepy girl choir singing “Creep” by Radiohead fits so well with people who live on Facebook 24/7, and it shows a lot of promise as A FILM, not an advertisement (though you cant sell free). I definetly will be seeing this come October.
