Watch the Trailer for ‘Fright Night’ Remake
Last weekend, I watched the original Fright Night with a couple friends, and then mentioned several times that I was extremely excited to see how the 2011 remake shaped up. Two reasons:
a) Colin Farrell is hot.
b) Hot Colin Farrell gets to be dangerous and seductively threatening toward Anton Yelchin.
Those are the facts, and I’m voting yes, and now the first trailer is online.
I appreciate that they’ve decide to make Charlie more badass than he was in the ’80s. It’s also a miracle that there don’t seem to be any uncomfortably overkill shenanigans with animatronics. (Was Evil Ed’s death prolonged or what? I do not want to see Christopher Mintz-Plasse naked and mutating for that long, let’s establish this right now.) In 2011, we’ve evolved to throwing people around and figuring out what else can be turned into a flamethrower.
The film also stars Imogen Poots, David Tennant, and the always magnificent Toni Collette. Between the cast and Colin Farrell hunting folks down, this looks like an amazing way to start winding down the summer when it hits theaters on August 19th.
Anna Faris Plus Every Recently Relevant Dude In Hollywood In ‘What’s Your Number?’
It doesn’t matter how many times I get burned, I’m always going to try out the latest romantic comedy.
Anna Faris stars in a new one this fall, called ‘What’s Your Number?’ where she tracks down all of her old boyfriends to figure out if any of them might’ve been Mister Right. Luckily for her, all of her past flames happen to be every male actor who got added to the hot list in last couple years. Although, spoiler alert: her ‘it’ guy is probably Chris Evans, who plays who the guy friend that helps her locate all these ex-whatevers.
They had me as soon as the trailer started and Zachary Quinto appeared, but then the addition of Anthony Mackie, Martin Freeman, Joel McHale, and of course, Chris Evans really just guaranteed my ticket purchase on September 30th.
‘30 Minutes or Less’ Trailer Online
I know what movie I’m going to lose a couple hours of my life seeing August 12 — 30 Minutes or Less.
More 30 Minutes or Less Videos
In the ‘Michael Cera vs. Jesse Eisenberg’ debate, I have always championed Eisenberg, and Aziz Ansari brings me to real-life laughter constantly. This movie looks ridiculous enough to be amazing.
‘Catfish’ Trailer Proves Internet Is Still Creepy, But It’s Cool, Bro
When I went to see Easy A today, the trailer for Catfish was among the previews. First of all, Easy A was alright enough. Emma Stone continues to own a part of my heart by being hilarious and effectively relatable. Second of all, I want to see Catfish.
I’m kind of bummed I hadn’t heard anything about it before now, because it’s definitely the sort of movie that appeals to the internet creeper plus meta-loving wretch in me. At first I thought it was some kind of surprise new trailer for The Social Network, but no, it’s actually a movie that just proves again how much social media has infiltrated all aspects of life, namely Facebook and, more recently, Twitter. (The best part of the VMAs last Sunday was how every correspondent in the pre-show got a lower third with their names and then their Twitter handle under that.) This movie also, in its way, celebrates the continued amateur/DIY aesthetic people love about the 21st century with — bonus! — a voyeurism angle.
Watching other real people hook up is the foundation for modern media. That’s what The Real World and XTube have taught me. And it’s repeated a hundred times a day that we live in an age where everyone can be a creator. (My new iPod Touch apparently shoots 720p HD video. An exclusive first look at my major motion picture will be online tomorrow.) Add in a little Paranormal Activity-esque suspense and Catfish seems like a pretty perfect amalgamation of what gets people going these days. It’s also just a really nerdy endeavor, this indirect indicator of how much film, social networking, and reality media have merged, but that’s also part of what makes it seem interesting.
Although it doesn’t make a great case for internet dating. It’s hard out here for digital love.
Re-Cut Trailer: ‘Toy Story 3’ vs ‘Inception’
This doesn’t satisfy quite as much as the Toy Story 2 vs. The Dark Knight re-cut trailer, but it’s still pretty entertaining. Obviously what we should learn from this is that Christopher Nolan and Pixar always go hand-in-hand, in some bizarre way.
Full Trailer For David Fincher’s “The Social Network” Online
There are a lot of lines in this that were also in the teaser, but with the eerie Radiohead cover and an even more heightened sense urgency, the fact that this was directed by David Fincher is really starting to come through now:
