Hello again avid internet surfers, this is Derek Donovan with another visit to the Trailer Park.
I apologize for the late post, I’ve been suffering from a very bad flu which lead me to leaving campus and heading back to my hometown of Beaverton, Oregon to recover. However, I expect to be back at University of Oregon sometime tomorrow.
Anyways enough about my misfortunes let’s talk about the trailers cause that’s what your reading this for right?
It is my belief much like the last edition of Trailer Park that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover but you can certainly judge a movie by it’s trailer and I have selected a few to showcase this week.
How Trailer Park works is simple, I give the embedded Youtube video of the trailer showcased for you all to watch and then at the bottom of the video, I display my opinion and then give it a rating based on our unique top of the line rating system:
Clean – A rating of Clean means this movie looks like a must see and you should definately give it a watch once it comes to theaters.
Decent – A rating of Decent means this movie looks okay, but it’s still a little sketchy and I recommend you wait for the reviews to come out before you pay for your ticket.
Dirty – A rating of Dirty, much like a trailer park itself means this movie looks absolutely horrid or is not interesting at all and I recommend you stay away from it.
Be warned, this is my opinion and my opinion only, do not criticize me if I bash a movie that you think looks promising.
So let’s dive right in!:
Response: Wow, just.. wow. I don’t even know what to say, this trailer is so wrong in so many different levels that there is absolutely no way to perfectly describe the amount of pain that watching this trailer has given me, but I’ll give it a try anyways. This movie looks horrendous, abysmal, terrible.. Okay, I’m being too nice. Most people would give movies like this slack because it’s obviously made for kids but who in their right mind would take their child to see a movie like this! The Rock as a egotistical jackass of a hockey player turned slave to an apparent Queen of the Tooth Fairies aka Julie Andrews who punishes him for not believing in fairy tales and so goes to the extent of giving him wings and making him wear a Too-Too while being given Tooth Fairy gadgets from Billy Crystal?! Is Hollywood out of their minds? I mean, I’m just absolutely speechless. This makes The Game Plan look like Citizen Kane! You know what? I’m done talking about this, let’s just give this movie a DIRTY rating and let’s forget I even saw this. WOckcoakjhs
Rating: DIRTY
Response: Now as many of you may or may not be aware, this was the last movie Heath Ledger participated in before his tragic death. Unfortunately, he never finished filming his role, thus why Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Ferrell stepped in to play his many alter egos when he travels dimensions. Anyways, this trailer gets nothing but praise from me, this movie has excellent visuals and effects and an A-List cast of actors including Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music) and the late great Heath Ledger. This is definitely a movie I will see and it’s not because this was Heath Ledger’s last film (Although it is a minor reason), it’s because this movie truly looks like a movie worth seeing.
Rating: CLEAN
UPDATE: Trailer is now released on Youtube.
Response: This trailer is not released officially till Monday, so it’s not allowed on Youtube. But I was sneaky and found a site that shows the first legitimate trailer for the movie, so consider this a Trailer Park exclusive courtesy of Mr. Derek Donovan. Anyways, I’ve loved the Toy Story movies ever since I was a kid, in fact the original Toy Story was the first movie I ever saw in a movie theater and continues to be one of my favorite movies of all time. So to see a trailer for the 3rd movie in the franchise brings back a lot of memories for me, and I’m sorry if I sound bias but after looking at this trailer I’m absolutely psyched to see this movie. The concept of Andy growing into a fully mature 18 year old heading to college is almost parallel to what I’m going through and it’s something I can fully relate to. However, the visuals for this movie look much better than the previous movies given the advancing digital technology and I’m overjoyed that Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are reprising their roles as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. To me, this movie is a definite watch, not just because the original movie is so near and dear to my heart but because much like all of Pixar’s films, this movie looks like it will be a top notch piece of work and I’ll be first in line to see it.
Rating: CLEAN
The RV:
After looking at a bunch of this year’s trailers I narrowed it down to just one, The RV represents a trailer that was not released this week but is also not in theaters but shows excellence and superiority among other trailers and is a fine example of how a trailer should be made.
This Trailer Park’s RV is…
Response: This is a trailer that has received mixed reviews from almost everyone, you either love it or you hate it. Frankly, I absolutely adore this trailer. I was one of those people that woke up at 7am on the day it premiered online just to watch this trailer and every time I see it, it reminds me of how much I missed James Cameron. This movie perfectly blends CGI, Live Action, Motion Capture Animation, Green Screen and Blue Screen into one holy grail of absolute beauty. This is definitely a movie I will see in IMAX 3D.
Well that’s all the trailers I have for you this week, don’t forget to log on next week for another visit to the Trailer Park.
Ciao.
