We got a TON of movie trailers this week. Honestly, like, probably too many. So lets take a look at some (In no particular order) before we go into the weekend.

The TLDR highlights are: #2, #6, #9, #12, #14, and #15.

1. London Feilds

This looks like a weird offshoot of the Scott Pilgrim universe. It doesn’t really seem like my cup of tea for a few reasons. First, the concept just seems sort of overplayed in a way. This is based off a 1989 murder mystery book, but the general idea of jilted lovers teaming up to kill their heartbreaker has for sure been done. Second, this cast is wild. Keeping any scene with Johnny Depp in an Amber Heard lead movie after this video came out TWO YEARS AGO is verrrrrry dumb. Putting a scene of her stripping for him in the fucking trailer is a whole other level of shortsighted. Whoever thought that was a good idea should 100000% be fired.

2. A Star Is Born

Woooo just give them the nominations now! I am SUPER BUTTERING this sucker. This is an absolutely dynamite cast for a musical romantic drama movie. Cooper has a crazy wide range of acting in some very intense and oscar-worthy(winning) movies, so I have a lot of faith in his directorial debut. Lady Gaga is one of the more talented singers of this generation, and even based off what we heard in this trailer shes pulling out all the stops. Dave Chappelle looks to be playing Bradley Coopers friend and I can’t wait to see him get back into the swing of Hollywood. He will hopefully overshadow Andrew Dice Clay, who also has a role in this for some reason. And, of course, we couldn’t have a southern-ish themed movie without Sam Elliot and his voice from the gods involved. Any music fan should be extremely pumped for this.

3. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

I think this looks pretty damn pleasant, but I’m also very weary of superhero fatigue. This year was sort of like the blue balled release and, while Deadpool 2 was some nice post-finish action, I don’t know if this will be necessary. This isn’t slated to come out until December, and between then we have “Ant Man & The Wasp”, “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” and “Incredibles 2″. It will also only be out a few days before notable great and never bad DC’s “Aquaman”. That makes me nervous and unsure of how it’s going to do. It seems to be, at least from a stylistic and cinematic standpoint, TOTALLY different than the rest of the movies which plays in their favor. The cast does as well, it features Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Liev Schriber, Mahershala Ali, and Lily Tomlin. Pretty damn solid group of actors! This looks fun and unique to the genre, so I’m probably more excited for this than I am for say Aquaman. I hope you don’t read that, Jason Momoa. I promise I love you.

4. The Old Man And The Gun

This is a rendition of the real criminal and escape artist, Forrest Tucker. I’m a big fan of crime comedies and they have a pretty stellar rep at the top end. “Oceans 11″, “Trainspotting”, “Catch Me If You Can”, “Bad Santa”, “Fargo”, “Raising Arizona”, “In Bruges”, “The Big Lebowski”, and “Pulp Fiction” are all classic examples. Will this be even close to as good as any of these? Fuck if I know. Probably not. But I like Redford and think Sissy Spacek was great in Bloodline doing a similar-ish role.

5. Mortal Engines

I think Peter Jackson could walk up to a studio head and say they want to make a solely-CGI remake of Forrest Gump and they would just say yes. He’s really ran on fumes since LOTR. “King Kong” was ok, but “The Lovely Bones” was TOUGH and the Hobbit movies were a mess that didn’t feel like they had any heart to them. This looks like a fucking steampunk nightmare that I really have no interest in seeing whatsoever. It features Elrond and a bunch of rando’s fighting mechanical moving cities. PASS! Make a practical movie Peter!

6. Operation Finale

Nazi killing movies will always get an automatic butter from me, no questions asked. Nazi killing movies that are also starring my boy Oscar Isaac, Haley Lu Richardson, and Ben Kingsly will get my automatic seal of approval. Nick Kroll is an interesting wildcard here, but I’m willing to see what he can do. The Mossad were on some wild shit in the 50’s, conducting these crazy missions all over the globe, hunting down Nazi’s who escaped Nuremberg. It will be interesting to see how they play this out. I’m thinking this will be a better “Munich” with some dashes of “Bridge of Spies”.

7. Bumblebee – Already Blogged!

8. Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

I am a big, BIG fan of “Lego Movie”. I thought it was top to bottom one of the best movies of the 2014 by far. It was fantastically done with great pacing, broad appeal, solid voice acting, and a very thoughtful plot. Most of the main cast is returning with some additions as well such as Tiffany Haddish, which should help freshen it up a bit. The plot itself seems sort of weird, giving them a Mad Max spoof universe after Duplo Legos (Those huge ass 3x normal size ones) lays waste to Bricksburg. And Emmett is going to space too to rescue Wyldstyle and the rest of the gang from some sort of alien that abducts them. Sort of a huge jump away from the plot of the first, but the lego movie universe really hasn’t had a misstep yet.

9. White Boy Rick

80’s-setting movies are back in a BIG way and I’m very much here for it. The cast is obviously hot, McConaughey, Jennifer Jason Leigh(Who killed in “Annihilation”) and Brian Tyree Henry(Paper Boi in Atlanta). Richie Merritt is the wildcard. If you google his name it’s VERY hard to find even a picture of him. This is literally the first role of his career (He’s only 15 so he obviously get some slack there). This is a fictionalized version of the real life informant/dealer Ricky Wershe Jr., who became the youngest FBI informant ever at age 14. I mean, story aside, watching McConaughey selling guns and drugs in the 80’s with a mullet while “I Feel Love” is playing?? Just take my money now.

10. Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2

This is pure Disney porn and that’s perfectly ok. My biggest problem with this is how similar it is in concept to one of the worst movies of 2017, “Emoji Movie” .

In this movie, the arcade characters, who are usually confined to their own universe, are introduced to a bunch of BRANDS & PROPERTIES such as (just from this trailer) Dance Dance Revolution X2, Street Fighter II, Dragon’s Lair, Pac-Man, Virtua Cop, Frogger , Space Invaders, Cisco, Amazon, Twitter, Snapchat, Carvana, MySpace, IMDb, Facebook, LADbible, YouTube, Yelp, Google, National Geographic, Photoshop, Nordstrom Rack, Urban Outfitters, Family Matters, Oh My Disney, Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Mulan, Frozen, Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, Brave, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Moana, Aladdin, Snow White, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Cars, The Muppet Show, Up, Star Wars, Disney Animation, The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pixar, Toy Story, Dumbo, and Fantasia which makes for a fun and totally genuine, non-commercialized adventure.

In Emoji movie, the main emoji escapes his own universe (Textopolis) and goes to other apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Candy Crush, Dropbox, Spotify, Twitter, Just Dance, Youtube, and more which also made for a totally genuine and non-commercialized adventure.

11. Suspiria

I have no idea what the fuck was going on in this, but just like with “Lukas” the other week, I like trailers with no dialogue. Ambient sound combined with sort of subtle haunting music is usually the best way to scare the shit out of me. Ad Tilda Swinton to that mix, and you pretty much have a guaranteed pants pooper.

12. Widows

Holy shit, this might be my favorite of the whole bunch so far! Remember when Liam Neeson said he was done with action movies? Best change of heart since Jordan to be honest. This is an absolutely insane cast in Neeson, Viola Davis, Colin Ferrell, John Bernthal, Michelle Rodriguez, Daniel Kalyuua, and Robert Duvall. It looks like it has a sort of “The Town” feel to it, except maybe a little darker. Plus, it’s directed by Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave), and co-written by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) which is huuuuuge for a movie of this feel. I’m giving this the rare SUPER-BUTTER seal of approval.

13. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the franchise. Jay Baruchel’s voice just rubs me the wrong way, and as much as I like Viking themed movies/shows (Valhalla Rising and History Channel’s Vikings are insane), I just never really connected with these. That said, this seems to be a perfectly fine, cookie-cutter third installment to close out the franchise.

14. Serenity

We’re getting graced with not one, but TWO Matthew McConaughey trailers in the same week!? We are truly blessed. Besides having the great cast off McConaughey, Hathaway, Jason Clarke, Diane Lane and Djimon Hounsou (Who had some of the best emotional supporting actor performances ever in “Gladiator” and “Blood Diamond”) , this was also written and directed by Steven Knight. He wrote “Eastern Promises”, “Taboo”, and most importantly to me, he created and wrote all of “Peaky Blinders”. This should prove to be really suspenseful and well written.

15. Bad Times At The El Royale

You had me at Bridges, but add Hemsworth, Hamm and Offerman and you have me totally sold. Dakota Johnson is where it gets dicey for me. The 50 Shades franchise was absolutely abysmal and her performance in all of them was a big part of that. But i’ll give her benefit of the doubt because that might have had some to do with the fact that her and Jamie Dornan had net negative chemistry. This is directed by the same writer who wrote/directed “Cabin in the Woods” and adapted the screenplay for “The Martian” which I loved. Do I think he can pull a cohesive performance out of these actors/actresses? Shit maybe. Just let me see Jeff Bridges rob some banks and kill some bad(or good) guys.

16. Siberia

I had no idea how this wasn’t connected to the John Wick universe until he got bare knuckle KO’d by a Russian thug. I have a feeling this may disappoint for a few reasons. The cast outside of Keanu is mostly randos with the exception of Molly Ringwald which what the fuck. And the director, who got a big title screen in that trailer, is known for, well, just this trailer. Wick convinced me to never not sign off on a Keanu action movie though, so I’m hesitantly buttering.

17. Halloween

Pass. I know this franchise means different things to different people, and that its one of the more iconic horror franchises, but who is geared up for the fucking 11th movie in this franchise history? I mean, look at the in critic score’s on RT:

Halloween(1978): 93%

Halloween II (1981): 31%

Halloween III(1982): 40%

Halloween IV (1988): 29%

Halloween V (1989): 14%

Halloween VI (1995): 6%

Halloween H20 (1998): 52%

Halloween: Resurrection(2002): 12%

Halloween (2007): 25%

Halloween II (2009): 19%

What about any of this screams PEOPLE NEED MORE HALLOWEEN!!!!

Shit, that was a ton of trailers. Thanks for sticking around and stay alright alright alright.
