AVATAR
Well yesterday the trailer that crashed the internet was released and after my initial response of Holy Crow That's Incredible! I rewatched and realized it still looks good, just not as mind blowingly amazing and revolutionary as Cameron had teased. Mainly my first reaction being so good was because I was under the impression that the movie was completely CG and thought the scenes with real actors was incredible. But since they are just real people, not as blown away. But it still looks good to me, and as I said on Facebook yesterday, in response to someone commenting that "Avatar will push filmmaking to new technical zeniths, but have no story." I still think it has a story. This is James Cameron, the man who gave us Terminator, Aliens, T2, The Abyss, True Lies, and Titanic. So check it out below:
As a kid I was a huge fan of the Universal Monsters, even though I had never seen a single one of the movies. Instead I read all these books they had at the library about them, and I couldn't get enough. At that same time I discovered a favorite movie of mine, Monster Squad, that featured slightly altered versions of the Universal Monsters, because Universal wouldn't give them the rights (I've included that trailer below The Wolfman trailer) So I was admittedly excited when The Wolfman was announced, but my excitement has dimmed since the movie has been pushed back time and again. So when the new trailer came out yesterday I was prepared to be excited. And while the trailer is nice, it didn't have me jumping for joy. In fact I kept thinking "Shouldn't I be more excited than this?" It's a decent trailer for a movie that has a lot of promise and a great cast, but something doesn't click for me. Hopefully once I see the film I'll feel differently. Monster Squad
