This looks more than a little bit silly. Maybe a little stupid even. And yet, I think it just might turn out to be a fun little movie. The kind of stuff you forget about the minute you leave the theater, but that still makes for an entertaining couple of hours.

Before I saw the Korean monster movie The Host I was worried that whatever the merits of that movie, they would be spoiled by bad CGI. After all this was a movie that had a very modest budget by Hollywood standards and that had a completely CGI creature at the center of the action.

My worries turned out to be misguided. The CGI in The Host was great and didn’t take me out of the movie at all. But now I’m having the same fears for D-War, and this time the trailer seems to confirm them a little. There were some scenes in there that looked really bad and that made me feel like the CGI just might be bad enough to completely ruin the movie.

I’ll wait and see if some more reassuring footage comes out. But right now I’m no very hopeful.

This second trailer for The Golden Compass is much more effective, in my opinion, than the first. It makes both the movie’s visuals and story seem more compelling. It still lacks a great visual or story hook to really make you have to go see the movie, but it certainly made much more interested.

Now, that is a great teaser trailer. Exciting visuals which don’t really mean anything, but keep you distracted, combined with a voice over that explains the story succinctly and in a way that makes it sound exciting. Still think the film is going to be bad, but I love this trailer.

I’m still finding it hard to believe, but the truth is that Transformers, Michael Bay’s Transformers, is looking really, really good. And the more we see, the better it seems.

Right now, Pirates 3 is still my most anticipated film of the summer. But I think this just moved up to a surprisingly close number two.

This is looking pretty epic and exciting isn’t it? Definitely not what I was expecting from this movie. Consider me interested.

Since having silly hair in a movie worked so well for Tom Hanks, I guess Nic figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. Let’s see how that turn out.

Honestly, the trailer makes the movie seem a lot more interesting than I expected. An action movie with a twist. I still don’t think this movie will be good, based on all the information we have about it, but the trailer does make me think there is an alternative future in which it could be good.

Although the trailer has some cool images, it makes the movie looks silly. And not in a a Conan silly-but-fun away, but in the “you’re are taking yourself way to seriously dude” way.

And our hero, played by Karl Urban? He just doesn’t look badass enough. I’m sorry, but it’s the truth.

Ok, how awesome is this movie going to be? Well, perhaps not awesome enough to get me to see it in theaters, but definitely awesome.

The problem with the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie, for me, is that it looks like something that would be just as good on DVD. And I feel a little weird about paying good theater money to see a film with such obviously poor production values. Although I did pay to see the South Park movie in a big screen.

Still, I really think this film will be great. And I will see it, even if not in theaters.

The Hoax opened this last weekend with little fanfare in only a handful of theaters. And it’s performance in even those theaters was nothing to write home about, which doesn’t bode well for the films chances of receiving a bigger expansion.

Which is too bad. The movie seems to tell an interesting story, and I like pretty much everyone involved with it. Sure, the story of a man who writes an unauthorized biography of Howard Hugues and lies about it actually being authorized and based on personal interviews isn’t one of the most exciting ideas for a movie ever. But it’s the kind of thing that can turn into a solid and entertaining movie for adults.

I will say this about the trailer tough: using The Who’s Who Are You was a bad choice. That song has become to connected to CSI and it feels strange to hear it in the context of this trailer.
