Not all trailers are created equal are they. A good trailer is so thrilling, I remember my friend and I going to a movie just to see a particular trailer. It's so fascinating to see what they pull out as the money shots and best quotes.
1. The Good - Black Swan - a fast, frenetic and frightening trailer. PS-I loved Natalie Portman's comment, "How do you get men to a ballet movie? You add a lesbian scene and call it a thriller."
2. The Good- The King's Speech - You get a sense of what it's about, snippets of stunning performances and it's brief.
3. The Bad - Little Fockers- If the trailer is the best bits, you are left wondering about the rest? The trailer just has Robert De Niro saying, "I'm watching you" then Ben Stiller saying "still". The bit that has been done to death gets another resurrection.
4. The Bad - How Do You Know - unless they are trying to be ironic with the title, this rom com stars Reece Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd and that is all you can fathom from the trailer. So then I saw a print ad for the movie. It just has a pick of the four actors. You end up knowing nothing indeed. The soundtrack for the trailer was a bad 80s track that's in every second 80s movie. It really wound me up.
5. The Ugly - Morning Glory - Looks beyond irritating with Rachel McAdams being mega perky, drinking ten coffees and yelling in Harrison Ford's face, "I'm not giving up" when we just wish so much she would. Only watch after ten coffees.
