Trailer Time speaks for itself – from Joaquin Phoenix to J.J. Abrams, check out these upcoming movies that you should probably be interested in:

It seems that everyone is down with the vampires these days. So cool, and dark and sexy – there’s a lot to like. But what if you get turned into a vampire when you’re a kid? You stay a kid forever. What if your world isn’t glamarous and decadent? What if you’re just trying to survive out there alone? These are the questions raised by one of the best vampire movies (and just an all-around fantastic film) ever made, Let The Right One In. It’s set in Sweden and is unlike any vampire flick you’ve ever seen. The movie has been out for a couple of years and is already a cult classic, a status attained due to the lack of box office receipts that certainly don’t reflect the film’s worth, but I bring it up now because the American remake is set to be released this October. It’s called Let Me In and is directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and stars the remarkable Chloe Moretz. I posted on Twitter the other day (still can’t bring myself to type “tweeted” – damn I just did it) about how great she is in Kickass and it was no exaggeration. Her performance was incredible and she is the sole reason hope has been given to a remake that many felt should never have been made. If you like vampire movies, or if you just like good movies, make sure you watch Let The Right One In before you see the remake. Then get ready to hope Ms. Moretz can deliver with such ferocity a second time. I think she can. Dig it…

Time for you guys to preview some upcoming films, so you can start planning your movie-watching schedule accordingly. This week we’ll be looking at some romantic comedies that don’t suck for all you couples out there and another literary classic remade into a teen comedy just for fun. Extra points for Charlie Day, The Kooks and Emma Stone.

Going the Distance Newline Cinema – August 27

The Switch Miramax – August 20

Easy A Screen Gems – September 17

Coming at you with two exciting new trailers for your viewing pleasure. Facebook and Ben Affleck; two things that could either enhance or ruin an average Thursday. You be the judge.

The Social Network Sony

The Town Warner Brothers

So what does being considered the standout force of hilarity in one of the most successful comedies of all time get you? Work, and lots of it. Since The Hangover made Zach Galifianakis a household name (he’s been “in the biz” for quite a while actually) he’s been possibly the busiest guy in Hollywood. The Wilkesboro, North Carolina native has already been featured in Up in the Air, G-Force and Youth in Revolt and landed a sidekick role in HBO’s comedy Bored to Death alongside Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson. Not enough Galifianakis for you? (How could it be – this guy should be in everything) Well don’t worry, he’s got more projects coming really soon including Puss in Boots and the much anticipated Hangover 2. Below are trailers for even more of his upcoming movies, all of which look to be hilarious and awesome. Hilariously awesome. Enjoy, the year of Galifianakis is upon us.

Though I’ve been slacking on my summer movie watching, I don’t feel too bad because, quite honestly, there haven’t been that many movies out that I want to see. That being said, here are two summer movies, one already out and one coming soon, I’ll certainly regret not catching. Finally, some stuff worthy of an over-priced ticket. (Scott Pilgrim looks especially awesome – love girls with pink hair)

Cyrus – June 18th (Limited)

Scott Pilgrim vs The World August 13th

While I definitely don’t appreciate people randomly bashing England and the national side’s chances in the World Cup, I certainly do appreciate unbridled support for the U.S. National Team. Not really looking foward to the game tomorrow, just ready for it to be over so I can go back to cheering for both teams. That being said – this U.S. video makes so hype I want to fight people. Fight their faces. Let that be a warning if you watch it at work. I don’t want to be responsible for any brawls with HR…

While we prepare ourselves for the impending Oscar hype-machine, a hype-machine I happen to be down with by the way, I thought it might be nice to look at some 2010 films that will be enthralling movie-goers in the coming months. I think these movies look pretty awesome, therefore, you should also. I’ll spare you a synopsis of the movie under each trailer clip – as trailers are supposed to give you an overview of the film by design. Who am I to undermine the trailer gods? No one, that’s who. Instead I’ll add hilarious quips about why I’m interested in them. You guys are smart, you’ll figure out what they’re about. Seriously, my quips are going to be soooo hilarious.

Green Zone Universal/Working Title – March 12th

Matt Damon punches people in the face! Greg Kinnear plays a bad guy; possibly gets punched in the face. By Matt Damon. I’m in.

The Runaways Apparition/River Road Entertainment – March 19th

Nothing hilarious here really. I was skeptical at first when I heard the cast list, but everyone really looks the part and all of the stills and media from the film look great. A real surprise and I’m excited to see it.. Plus I heard Matt Damon punches Dakota Fanning in the face at the end. Hilarious!

Kick-Ass Lionsgate/Marv – April 16th

Lots of face-punching, however, these happen to be sans Mr. Damon. I’ve often thought of becoming a superhero and fighting crime outside the boundaries of the law, even though I’m devoid of super powers. Some people would call me a vigilante, but I prefer ” Delusional Man”. My super ability would be to blur the line between fantasy and reality enough to make myself think I could foil criminals. It’s what the world’s been waiting for, and I think watching teenagers take that first step towards an untimely death could fill the void until I’m ready.

This is pretty simple – here are some trailers of movies coming out in the next couple of months that I think are going to be dope. That’s right, dope. So consider yourselves informed.

The Road Dimension 11/25/09

This is the first of two “end of the world, holy-hell the future sure does look bleak and crazy” movies coming out this winter movie season. In The Road, we have Viggo Mortensen wandering around with Charlize Theron trying to survive and not get murdered by the backwoods descendants of the Deliverance cast. He’s going head to head with Denzel to see who can be the baddest man alive in movies where not many men are left alive.

The Book of Eli Warner Brothers 1/15/10

Denzel is living it up post-apocalyptic style himself, only he’s got some kind of book that holds the keys to Man’s salvation. Throw in Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman and you’ve got yourself a nice little cast to head out and save our way of life. Hmmm. Viggo vs Denzel. Charlize vs Mila. Eli seems a bit more Mad Max which may give it the edge. Tough call to make between two films of our impending doom. Guess I’ll have to see both.

Gentlemen Broncos Fox Searchlight 10/30/09

Jared Hess brings you Jemaine Clement as a crazy science-fiction writer who is desperate for an idea. His plan is to steal a contest entry from a writing camp participant and submit it to his publisher. The story becomes a hit and hilarity ensues. That’s about all you need to know. Looks awesome.

New York, I Love You Vivendi Entertainment 10/16/09

Finally, we have New York, I Love You, which is a take-off, or maybe even the second chapter to, Paris Je T’Aime, which, if you haven’t seen, is fantastic. The premise is pretty simple: round up like 10-12 directors and have each one put together a love story set in New York that lasts roughly 10 minutes. The stories vary in terms of how old the characters are, the stage they’ve reached in their relationship, and some stories don’t always end in love. It’s a cool concept that worked beautifully the first time aorund in Paris, so I have every expectation it will work in the Big Apple.

-John

I have three trailers for you today. Two movies and one tv show. Sure you could go to youtube to see these things but that would involve some work. I’ve done all the work for you so you can enjoy these trailers all at one place. No need to thank me, unless it involves sending me cold hard cash. I will accept that.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox – Directed by Wes Anderson – Opens Nov. 13

Shutter Island – Directed by Martin Scorsese – Opens Oct. 2

True Blood – For you True Blood fans, this is a trailer that was shown at Comic-Con that gives you an idea as to how the rest of the season is going to play out.
