When I start thinking I’m bored with the internet (we’ve all been there… thinking we’ve seen and done everything the internet has to offer), I like to go to www.apple.com/trailers. I get giddy watching trailers for upcoming movies, and this site has high-quality viewings (not the crap you find on YouTube).
Nosing around this evening (Jon is out laser-tagging without me… *sigh*) I found several movies that I’m freakin’ excited for. A short list:
First on the list is a brilliant looking movie called Son of Rambow. After watching the trailer, I wished so badly that I could immediately watch this movie. Like, right now. Like, ten minutes ago. How cute are those kids? How much do you wish that you’d had a friend like that when you were ten or twelve, running around filming action movies. *sigh* Even just the trailer makes me want to be a creative, care-free, mischievous kid again. Can’t wait…
For the handful of you out there who don’t know that I’m a Trekkie, well… now you do. I’m both excited and apprehensive about the new Star Trek movie. I hope, hope, hope that it’s good. Since all of the original Star Trek actors are ancient (even the TNG-ers are getting up there in age), the new movie is a prequel. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy. Fraternity house of the future. My fingers are really crossed for this one. I’m sending happy feelings its way.
Now we come to the eye candy. Just when the world finally simmered down and stopped guffawing at In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, we are enticed with the next pec-tastic installment of Jason Statham’s hotness: The Bank Job. Dare I say it, people… this movie looks… well, good. And not just “good” like staring at Jason Statham’s fantastic martial arts moves, buff muscles, and scruffy-licious 5 o’clock shadow kind of “good“, I mean good, good. Decent acting. Non-nauseating dialog. Plausible plot (in fact, it’s based on a true story). All of my sultry good energy is being directed toward this one. My poor, sweet Jason is long over-due for a good movie.
Last but certainly not least is the newest installment of M. Night Shyamalan genius: The Happening. I am a Shyamalan fan. The Sixth Sense? Genius. Signs? Creeeepy. The Village? Spooky with a good twister ending. Lady in the Water? Ok, wow… I’ll admit it… it was a frickin stinker. Whatever fantastic, over-my-head ka-pow smartness he was trying to convey just didn’t work out. I think it was supposed to maybe be a metaphor of something… but who really knows? Only M. Night himself. At the end of the movie my husband and I both gave each other the WTF? look and I wished for those lost hours of my life back. So I’m hoping this is the comeback I’ve been waiting for. Give me something good man… I’m ready.
There are, of course, others. This is a short list. What are you looking forward to seeing??

I’m looking forward to Semi-Pro, J/K!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you for the Star Trek movie but my gut says it probably won’t be that good. All the prequels that I’ve seen tend to be a bit of a reach.

Oy, Bossy supposes she has to be happy with trailers since she never has the money for the whole movie. It’s just not right that Hollywood makes you pay by the hour!

I’m still hoping to get out to see Juno. I’m so behind the times…

looking forward to seeing the star trek movie too, my hopes for it are that it’s just good in it’s own right, that they haven’t tried to hard to make it appear like one of the later movies with it being just enough to fit but not too much to make it appear forced.
I also want to see vantage point, out just this past week and I have yet to see cutie-pie Juno, despite your high recommendations…
CANNOT WAIT for next Indiana Jones installment, just got giddy all over again thinking about it…
