Pardon the title. I’m still trying to think of a way to make that interesting everytime I do one of these posts. So I mashed together the two trailers names, and.. viola! So anyways. Welcome to Trailer Park. I am absolutely obsessed with trailers. Y’know, the little 2-5 minute preview of films they put before other films? I loved trailers before I even knew they were called trailers; I’m kinda curious to know just where the name came from, actually. Hm.
I’m hoping to update this on a weekly basis. Tuesday is new DVD day, so it seems appropriate to be listing the trailers from the past week today. Quite frankly though, the last week was absolutely HORRIBLE for new trailers, so I’m only listing two of them. I’ll youtube when available, and provide a link to the higher-def (usually quicktime 7) trailer.
So without further ado, I give you…
SHOOT ‘EM UP
The role I absolutely did NOT expect to see Paul Giamatti in: a hitman. This trailer ROCKS, and I am so utterly pumped for this movie for at least two reasons: Clive Owen, and Monica Bellucci. Between the three of ‘em, I absolutely expect it to kick ass. The soundtrack is pumpin’, Clive is awesome. Definitely a must-watch.

30 DAYS of NIGHT
Indie comic fans, this is the moment we have been waiting for. Yes, there have been indie comics made into films, certainly, (Ghost World! Woot!), but none will appeal to such a wide audience, and none will draw the crowds in quite like this one will. The question on everybody’s mind though: can they pull it off? Can they translate the comic to film? And when — as we know they will and must — they change things, will they lose the fans?
Me? I’m iffy. I never read the comic, and the trailer… doesn’t grab me as much as the concept of the book does.
View the trailer in various formats.
And that’ s it for this week. Let me know what you think?

I’m very happy to see this idea of your “reviewing trailers” come back! It’s missing the rating system though.

I’m getting into it.
Lemme do a few before I worry about actually giving them ratings. Ratings are scary. You give them a 4, and then suddenly something comes along that just BLOWS it out of the water, and you’re left going.. crap.. that other one should be a 2!
