Trailer Roundup: Out With ’08, In With ’09

Let’s begin with the obvious. Saw these next two before Bond. Nice double whammy…

Star Trek

Sometimes it’s nice to watch a trailer in the theater because you don’t know what the trailer’s for. The reveal at the beginning of this trailer works much better that way.

Watchmen

This is the trailer that gives you a little more of the plot and, more importantly, has a kick-ass Muse song. That’s the second Muse song I’ve downloaded based on a trailer. Here’s the first.

Frost/Nixon

Gives a bit too much away, in my opinion. Not that we don’t know how it turned out, but the film clearly has some gotcha moments and you don’t want to diminish them.

The Wrestler

Doesn’t look like an Aaronofsky film. And that, I think, is the magic.

2012

I have to admit, this is a good teaser.

By the way, when I googled 2012, the first result I got was a news story about the NCAA. This teaser would make for one fucked up basketball movie.

Monsters Vs. Aliens

Most animated films have crappy trailers. This is an exception.
