Trailers: Chaos Theory

Ryan Reynolds, Emily Mortimer, Stuart Townsend, Sarah Chalke. A comedy drama where an overly obsessive organizer’s life changes and fate forces him to expect the unexpected.

I’ve always liked Ryan Reynolds in movies. I’ve never been much for the actual movies he’s been in though. This looks like it might be a winner though since it kind of resembles ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ in every way possible. Irregardless, keep up the good work Ryan Reynolds. There’s a star out of you yet.

Trailers: Backseat

An indie comedy drama road trip movie.

I hate trailers that flaunt all the film festivals they’ve been accepted to. It’s not like it’s hard getting into them. All you need is a movie, money to pay the entrance fee, and some idiot to write the application. The only festival that’s worth a crap is Sundance and I didn’t see that one on the list. Film festivals aren’t even cool festivals if you lump them together with other types of festivals. There’s no clowns or giant fried twinkies or hordes of redneck people. It’s just a giant group of jaded movie critics who dress like Bono. Bono probably loveddddd ‘Juno.’

Trailers: Life Before Her Eyes

Uma Thurman, Evan Rachel Wood, a drama where a housewife begins to question her perfect life on the 15th anniversary of a high school shooting of her best friend.

Ah, another one of those “caged bird with the seemingly perfect life needs to see the world because she feels like it” entitlement movies. Well boo hoo Uma Thurman. You shouldn’t have gotten knocked up. Now you have kids and a mortgage and you have to tell your husband you have a headache when he wants to do it. Go touring with the Stones in your mind time machine of gin and Virginia Slims.

Trailers: Sex and Death 101

Simon Baker, Winona Ryder, Leslie Bibb, Patton Oswalt, Julie Bowen. A comedy where a guy finds a list of everyone he’s had sex with and everyone he will ever have sex with.

Excluding the fact that this is a pathetic attempt at a plot, Mindy Cohn or Natalie from ‘The Facts of Life’ is in this, a lot. Winona Ryder is also in this a lot. I can just picture the two of them sitting together at catering, Winona with her Yoplait and Mindy with her Funyuns, talking about how their careers were but shooting stars that fizzled out oh too quick. Or one was a klepto and the other’s only talent was scaring toddlers by just being in a room.

Trailers: Priceless

A poor bell hop tries to swoon a gold digger. A comedy from Belgium, starring Audrey Tautou.

Like ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ but stupid. Next.

Trailers: The Grand

Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Richard Kind, Chris Parnell, Cheryl Hines, Dennis Farina, Shannon Elizabeth, Ray Romano, Werner Herzog, and more. An improv comedy by Zac Penn about a poker tournament.

This has what I like to call an “ensemble cast.” Which translates into “it’s going to suck.” Does anyone remember ‘Mars Attacks?’ Who wasn’t in that movie? Or ‘Bobby?’ Did anybody see that? Too many stars, not enough plot equals a crap movie. The only saving grace is Werner Herzog’s character. So crazy that it just might work. But David Cross is in it and he’s never been in a good movie, ever. So it just might not work.

Trailers: Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?

A documentary by Morgan Spurlock, who goes in search of Osama Bin Laden.

What is Morgan Spurlock’s purpose in this world? He looks like a guy who should be driving a Harley and wearing clothes only made out of cow, yet he’s trying to take over Michael Moore’s spot as the stupidest ‘guy who thinks he makes documentaries.’ If he wasn’t such an egomaniac, he wouldn’t have to be in the stupid movie. But no, the guy has to host it while making witty banter throughout. Never trust a guy with a mustache, or a person with red hair, or a guy that could win a Danny Bonaduce lookalike contest.

Trailers: The Year My Parents Went On Vacation

A drama from Brazil about a boy who was left alone in 1970.

When i heard the trailer for this, it sounded like a ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead’ type of comedy. It is not. It is boring and the words are not spoken in English and there are no Christina Applegate type people in it.

Trailers: Mongol

The story of Genghis Khan.

Leave it to Hollywood to make the story of Genghis Khan totally boring and lacking of any real plot. I know this trailer is trying to “tease” us but instead of making me want to see some movie about a killing machine, it feels more like an updated version of ‘Encino Man.’

Trailers: Red Cliff

A John Woo action/adventure based on the Three Kingdoms period in Ancient China.

The only reason John Woo movies are cool is because he knows how to make fight scenes happen in slow motion.
