Public Enemies - What Did You Think?
With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, Magnolia Pictures has taken the opportunity to release a red band movie trailer for Bob Goldthwait’s World’s Greatest Dad. I had the wonderful opportunity to catch this film at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, and by the time I left the theater, I was hurting from laughing so much. You can read my full review here.
This is not your traditional comedy. It’s dark. REALLY dark. For example, Goldthwait’s 2006 film Sleeping Dogs Lie (originally titled “Stay”) was about a relationship that is destroyed when a girlfriend reveals to her boyfriend that she had a past indiscretion (read: blowjob) with a dog. Believe it or not, Goldthwait’s 2009 follow-up is at least 10 times more twisted and probably 20 times funnier. Watch the red band movie trailer after the jump, and leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Focus Features will open Park Chan-Wook’s new film Thirst on July 31, and so far we’ve had only international trailers through which to check out the film. Now IGN has a red band trailer made specifically for the US, and it’s pretty freakin’ great. Check out the escalating pace of this story about vampires and faith after the jump. Read More »
IGN has premiered a new red band trailer for The Hangover that is (a) quite funny and (b) wildly spoileriffic. Not every joke is given away by this clip, but a whole lot of the good stuff is egregiously teased, at least. The movie is almost a detective story, and for maximum effect it’s better to see a lot of these gags in context rather than chopped up in a trailer blender. But if you really can’t wait until Friday to see the latest from Todd Phillips (Old School) then we’ve got the clip after the jump. Read More »
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard Red Band Movie Trailer
Posted on Friday, May 29th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Paramount Vantage has released a new movie trailer for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard on Moviefone, but Trailer Addict has the red band version. The film stars Jeremy Piven as a Used-car liquidator named Don Ready who is hired by a failing auto dealership to turn their Fourth of July sale into a majorly profitable event.
Basically, Piven is doing the same act that he does on Entourage, but instead of being a Hollywood agent, this time he’s a car salesman. Don’t get me wrong, the fast talking asshole character Piven has perfected is incredibly funny and suits him well. This film however seems to go for corny over-the-top gags, which just isn’t my brand of humor. Watch the trailer embedded after the jump.
Warner Bros has released a new red band “preview” from the upcoming Todd Phillips‘ comedy The Hangover. This uncensored clip is kinda weird — an amalgamation of scenes from the film, but not quite in the form of a traditional trailer, set to Mike Tyson singing a rendition of Phil Collin’s “In The Air Tonight”. I’ve embedded the red band preview after the jump.

An R-Rated promotional trailer for Cherrybomb, a film which stars Rupert Grint from the Harry Potter series. Cherrybomb tells the story of a group of teenagers (Grint, Robert Sheehan and Kimberley Nixon) who embark on a wild weekend of drinking, drugging, shop-lifting and car stealing. But the fun turns deadly when the three discover that they can’t stop the wild ride. The film debuted at the Berlin International Film Festival in February but has yet to be slotted with a domestic release. Watch the trailer after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Universal has released the first movie trailer for Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat. And guess what, it’s an international red band movie trailer. I’m at ShoWest and on the run, so don’t have much time to write up my first impressions, but thought I’d pass along this trailer before I have to run off. Watch the trailer after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Warner Bros has released a red band movie trailer for the upcoming Seth Rogen comedy Observe and Report on the film’s official website. Jody Hill’s follow-up to the cult comedy The Foot Fist Way, which will premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin Texas in March. I have yet to see The Foot Fist Way but I’ve heard nothing but great things. Observe and Report seems like not your typical Seth Rogen comedy, more character based. As Rogen declares that “The World Needs a Fucking Hero” I can’t help but think this is the Anti-Paul Blart film. Watch the trailer embedded after the jump.

It’s been an interesting ride for Simon Hunter’s The Mutant Chronicles. According to Hunter, the movie has had many directors and actors attached over the course of the past decade, and has spent a lot of time in development hell. Hugely ambitious on a relatively modest budget, Hunter’s version of the film has already been released and reviewed in Europe, and has made the rounds at some film festivals and conventions here in North America. It will premiere in the U.S. on Video-On-Demand on March 27, 2009, before getting a limited release on April 24, 2009.

Collider has a uncensored red band movie trailer for Broken Lizard’s new comedy Slammin’ Salmon, which premieres at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. I’m one of those people who laughed a bunch during Super Troopers but found myself disappointed with Broken Lizard’s follow-ups - Club Dread and Beerfest. Sketchy/improvisational comedy has never really been my thing, so I guess I’m not the target audience. Check out the trailer embedded after the jump.

Black Dynamite Red Band Movie Trailer 2 (What the What!?!)
Posted on Sunday, November 23rd, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson
“But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community.” With this new red band trailer, Black Dynamite officially blazes its way onto the Most Anticipated List. Way back in July, the buzzing stealth passion project from writer/director, Scott Sanders, and writer/star, Michael Jai White, miraculously won me over by making exhausted, semi-ironic blaxploitation homage seem fresh again. Since that time, Rudy Ray Moore kicked the bucket, we elected a half-black president and the good peoples at New York’s Ars Nova Entertainment just informed me that their film has been accepted by Sundance. Disclaimer: They also sent over some motherfucking swag.
Ditching the previous red band’s ghetto-projector flicker, the new one favors crisp, soul-glo visuals, a kilo of chopsockey goodness and a cameo by Captain Kangeroo. We also get a nekkid bevy of porn superbirds, including corpse-loving Charlotte Stokely, Arsenio Hall disguised with a terrible wig, little kids shooting heron, and proto-Mylanta thug, Mike Starr, screaming. A release date is not locked in. Stay tuned.
Discuss: That Star Trek trailer can eat it.
First 10 Minutes of Sex Drive (One of the Funniest Movies of 2008)
Posted on Thursday, October 16th, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson
We’ve tried to convince you that this weekend’s Sex Drive conquers the odds for that ever commodified of genres, the teen sex comedy. And now Summit Entertainment has released the first R-rated 10 minutes online to convert the masses. This should give you a good idea of how the film balances funny rapid-fire sophomoric humor with cast chemistry reminiscent of so many ’80s mallrat gems. While the movie’s resident mack, Clark Duke, doesn’t show up until the end, the brotherly crossfire between Josh Zuckerman and James Marsden hasn’t lost any punch since our press screening exploded. And Zuckerman’s Mexican donut now seems like a big Halloween Don’t (Do?) for the ages.
Unless you’re someone who apologizes for laughing with people who like beer, or you’re super depressed about the economy or a dead pet, it’s a really good time.
Discuss: After viewing this clip, what do you think?
