We had an understandably slow week for trailers, which gave us some weird entries for this instalment of the blog. Lets kill some time before the weekend, shall we?

1. Juliet Naked

I’m a huge fan of both Rose Byrne(Neighbors, Bridesmaids) and Chris O’Dowd(Bridesmaids, The IT Crowd) and to a lesser degree Ethan Hawke(Training Day, Gattaca) and this looks to be a just fine romcom. It’s actually a pretty interesting concept if you applied it to real life modern entertainers, like if all of the sudden I came home and Henry Cavill was pounding my girlfriends cheeks. I mean, if you’re gona get cucked, may as well be by your biggest idol right? Jesse Peretz is directing who you may or may not know from his movies like ‘The Ex’ and ‘Our Idiot Brother’, the latter of which was pretty good. It’s based off a 2009 book by Nick Hornby, who wrote ‘Fever Pitch’, ‘High Fidelity’ and ‘About a boy’, all of which were later made into movies. So there is precedent here that the movie should be, at the very least, mediocre.

2. Father of The Year

Happy Madison strikes again! It honestly makes me mad thinking about how muich of the 500 trillion dollars Netflix has invested into original programming goes toward the Sandler friends so that they can make movies like these. At the end of the day, who cares. There is a very real market of people that enjoy these movies so it’s whatever at this point.

3. Skyscraper (Final Trailer)

Anything with Dwayne Johnson will always, and without a single doubt, get the LCB sign of approval. This movie is particularly appealing to me because I’m terrified of heights, and seeing Dwayne navigate the exterior of the tallest building in the world had my hands starting to sweat. Ever watch those videos of psycho Russians climbing buildings with GoPros on, recording themselves walking on the edge of 80 story buildings? Thats my terror porn. It co-stars Neve Campbell (Scream, House of Cards) and Chin Han (The Dark Knight, Marco Polo). Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, We Are The Millers) wrote and is directing, which seems a little odd considering the genre. I do love those other movies, though, so I’m keeping an open mind. Also, he kind of looks like Buzz Lightyear with hair.

4. Breaking And Exiting

This is a super small project that I’m only including because 1. It’s and OUTRAGEOUS concept for a movie and 2. It stars Milo Gibson who might actually just be a clone of his dad. Longtime actor Peter Facinelli is at the helm of first time writer Jordan Hinson’s script. I mean, it’s ridiculous.

5. BuyBust

The Philippines are sort of in a weird place right now with their vigilante-type president saying he’s cleaning the streets while others are saying he’s violating human rights and killing political opponents. So when you have a movie about a elite narco unit killing first and asking questions later, it comes off a liitttttle bit like propaganda. That said, objectively it looks like a well shot action flick, with fighting sequences that sort of resembled a walmart john wick, which is why I included it even though I don’t usually blog too many foreign films. Erik Matti is a well known director over there, and the cast is the filipino equivalent of maybe the ‘Den of Thieves’ cast.

6. 7 Splinters In Time

Ok, so, this doesn’t look good. However, SLOANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! I will probably never watch this, but I will watch a 20 minute supercut of all her scenes. The IMDB description of this movie sounds like it was made up on the fly: “A detective investigates a murder, only to find that the victim is… himself. Soon, he discovers multiple versions of himself, not all of them friendly.” Bitch, the fuck? Say that first line in the movie preview voice and it literally sounds like a bit. This co-stars Edoardo Ballerini(The Sopranos) who I didn’t even know was in the Sopranos, mostly because his was a bit roll as a hitman. Speaking of which another Sopranos alum, Al Sapienza, is in it as well. Remember Mikey Grab Bag?? Love that guy. Akiva Schaffer(The Lonely Island) is also randomly in this as a character named, I shit you not, “McFly”.

Well that’s all folks, go soak up some sun and pray for better trailers next week.
