The Heartbreak Kid: There’s Something About Stiller and the Farrelly Brothers

This trailer just hit the internet and I nearly fell out of my chair. Ben Stiller’s back in another Farrelly brothers movie! How has it taken this long for that reunion to take place?

The trailer got off to a slow start, but it definitely had me laughing toward the end. It looks like this movie might not be the ‘junk caught in a zipper’ type of humor of Something About Mary, but it should be funny none-the-less. And I love the bit about the post-marriage personality change.

This is most definitely a SEE IT. I really can’t wait.

The Heartbreak Kid is rated R and opens October 5.

Trailer Smorgasbord

Alright folks, it’s time for a little heart to heart.

Truth be told, I’ve been a little disappointed with our efforts here at TrailerSpy. It’s not that we haven’t been working hard or that the writing hasn’t been good, but we’re just coming up way too short on the task of actually showing you guys all the trailers for all of the upcoming movies.

The issue is this: there is only so much time in the day, and all of us who write for the site have full-time jobs, and we really just can’t write up these long posts for ALL of the trailers that hit the internet everyday.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to set out on a slightly new course here at TrailerSpy. Essentially, we’re going to be doing the same type of posts about whether we want to SEE IT, SKIP IT or RENT IT. However, we’re also going to try and do a much better job of getting as many trailers to you guys as we possibly can. And if that means occasionally just posting the trailer without the presence of our witty remarks, so be it. This site is called TrailerSpy, and thus, we have an obligation to bring you, if not all the major trailers, at least as many trailers as we can get our hands on.

To ring in this new era here at TrailerSpy, I’ve just posted a virtual smorgasbord of new trailers for you guys.

Additionally, you may also notice that we’ve switch to a new media player. iKlipz has served us well, but I stumbled upon a site called Veoh recently, and I instantly fell in love. For one, the color of the player actually matches our site. But more importantly, it’s just a really high quality player. And best of all, you now have the ability to view the trailers in FULL SCREEN! Just click on the little full screen symbol in the bottom right corner, and a full screen window will pop up.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the trailers below, and more importantly, I hope you guys will enjoy the change of direction we’re taking. After all, we’re doing all this for you guys (and perhaps also for the hope of making some money off this venture).

1408: I’m Scared NOT To See It

I’m definitely a bit torn with this one. On the one hand, it’s got John Cusack, and I rarely miss a chance to see Big John up on the big screen. On the other hand, it’s a horror movie, and I rarely miss a chance to skip a horror movie.

When I heard that 1408 was actually the number of the hotel room where the entire movie takes place, I was relieved because I figured I was off the hook. But then I saw this trailer, and I have to admit, it does looks really good.

I don’t know… I think I may just have to drag my wimpy butt to the theater to SEE IT.

1408 is rated R and opens June 22. (Official Site)

A Mighty Heart: I Sure Hope This Movie Offers More Than Just Heart

I can’t quite figure this movie out. Certainly Daniel Pearl’s death was an awful event, but with all of the horrific events that have happened over the past few years, why is this the one that’s getting made into a movie? And why did Angelina Jolie decide to star in it?

I actually think that Angelina’s a rather shrewd woman, so I don’t think she’d sign on if there wasn’t something about the script that suggested it would be a better movie than the premise implies. Which is perhaps that’s the only reason that I’m willing to RENT IT. We’ll see if Angelina was right or not.

A Mighty Heart is not yet rated and opens June 22. (Official Site)

Surf’s Up: I Think I’ll Wait for the Next Wave

The trailer’s kinda cute, but I’m currently feeling a bit of animation overload. Plus, it wasn’t made by Pixar or Disney, which automatically makes me doubt how good it’ll be. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to SKIP IT.

Surf’s Up is rated PG and opens June 8. (Official Site)

The Golden Compass: Point Me Toward the Exit

Ya know, I suppose I might have been interested in this movie, but the trailer totally turned me off. Mostly, it was the blatent, pathetic attempt to leech off the success of Lord of the Rings. That kind of ploy only makes me think that this movie isn’t strong enough to hold up on its own. I’m personally going to SKIP IT.

The Golden Compass is not yet rated and doesn’t open until December 7. (Official Site)

Transformers: Wow

Whoever was responsible for that animated remake of TMNT really needs to take note: this is how you bring back a successful franchise. Bigger, Better, and Badder. The trailer for this movie makes my mouth water. I can’t wait to SEE IT.

Transformers is not yet rated and opens on the fourth of July. (Official Site)

Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer: Now That’s Cool


This movie looks like it’s going to be awesome. I love everything about the silver surfer: the premise, the look, the indestructability… I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first movie, but the sequel looks much better. I am definitely going to SEE IT.

Rise of the Silver Surfer is not yet rated and opens June 15. (Official Site)

Enchanted: An Update On An Old Classic

There are few things in this world as magical as a Disney fairy tale. Everyone has their favorite; from the old-school classics like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to the newer gems like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. In recent years Disney has taken a detour from their traditional route in their partnership with Pixar, and while that pairing has created some great films (Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles), there’s still nothing quite like a Disney fairy tale. As far as I can tell, Mulan is the last fairy tale they created, and that was in 1998 (and Mulan is based on a Chinese folktale, so does it even count as a ‘fairy tale’?). And no, I’m not counting any of those half-assed straight to video sequels that have been created.

With Enchanted, it looks like Disney is trying to get back to its roots…but with a twist. We start out in a magical animated land with all the fairy tale basics: beautiful princess, handsome prince, cute woodland creatures, and an evil queen determined to wreak havoc on everyone’s happiness. And by “wreak havoc” I mean “toss the beautiful princess into the reality of modern-day Manhattan.” The lovely Princess Giselle suddenly finds herself a little less two-dimensional as she goes from a cartoon to a real person, played by Amy Adams, who must find her way back home and try to survive in a city that has no need for princesses.

Fortunately for her, her true love, Prince Edward, has followed her into reality and is determined to find and rescue her. Unfortunately for him, a city that has no need for princesses is even less accepting of a weird guy in tights who brandishes a sword and randomly bursts into song. It also looks like he may have some competition for Giselle’s affection, as she has befriended a “real” man, played by the McDreamy Patrick Dempsey (that’s right, I watch Grey’s Anatomy, don’t judge me). And of course the evil queen, played by Susan Sarandon, is going to see to it that their journey back to magical animated land isn’t an easy one.

At first I was tempted to give Enchanted a ‘rent it’ review (I’m over the age of 12 and have no children, so I’m not exactly their key audience), but who am I kidding? I know I’m going to go SEE IT. I love all the Disney classics and this looks like it could be a hilarious update of the traditional fairy tale. It certainly has piqued my interest more than Stardust has, and this New Yorker needs the occasional dose of magic to keep her from becoming too cynical and jaded.

Enchanted is not yet rated and opens November 21. (Official site)

Weekend Roundup

This weekend, we’re going to do a slightly different Weekend Roundup. For those of you who are already in blockbuster sequel fatigue, we’ll tell you what else is in theaters this weekend, if you look carefully.

At this point, you’ve already decided whether you’re going to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. But be warned. THIS MOVIE IS THREE HOURS LONG. That’s right, not including trailers and seat-saving time, Pirates 3 is 167 whopping minutes.

Bug is the only other major release opening this weekend. Since horror films really aren’t my thing, here’s the summary from Fandango: At a rundown desert motel, Agnes (Ashley Judd) begins a tentative relationship with a newcomer named Peter (Michael Shannon). He has a strange charisma, one that offers fearful and unstable Agnes a flicker of hope. When Peter reveals that the military deliberately infected him with a bug and that he has tiny insects crawling under his skin, paranoia begins to envelope the desperate pair. Early reviews have been good. Horror fans, SEE IT.

Away From Her: Oscar season starts now. Critics are salivating over this atypical love story from writer and director Sarah Polley. Away From Her is the story of Fiona (Oscar-winner Julie Christie) and Grant, whose 45-year marriage is being torn apart by Fiona’s Alzheimer’s. After Fiona moves into a nursing home, she falls for another patient. Grant seeks out the other man’s wife, played by Olympia Dukakis. It’s much more complex than my summary, of course. Even the trailer is haunting. SEE IT.

Don’t forget about those films that have been out for a few weeks. Disturbia, aka Rear Window for teenagers, was number one for two weeks. Fracture fizzled at the box office, but it is still a cat-and-mouse thriller starring Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins. The Namesake is my favorite film so far this year–you’ll love seeing Kumar in moving a story of Indian-American identity. Finally, Waitress deserves to be seen, not just because it’s Adrienne Shelley’s farewell. See it for Keri Russell’s performance and for the take-charge ending. SEE THEM!
