Honest Movie Trailers- Paranormal Activity

Kick Ass 2

It's been a while since I've posted.  Then again it's been a while since I've seen a movie trailer that doesn't look like shit.

The sequel to one of my favorite R-Rated superhero movies is due out 8/16/13.  For those who haven't seen the original, it's about a 15 year old kid's attempt at becoming the world's first real superhero: Kick Ass (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson).  Along the way, he befriends the purple-clad Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz), her father (and near-infringer on the Batman copyright) Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), and Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).  Nic Cage surprised me as a caring, but not-all-there, father, and had my favorite gunfight of the movie.

The sequel looks to be just as vulgar and violent as the original.  This time around, the traitorous Red Mist has become The Mother Fucker--apparently an S&M bad guy who can't think of a good name--and is putting together a team of Evil-Doers.

Although Chris Mintz-Plasse is the least intimidating person on the planet, his being a bad guy worked (kind of) in the first one so I'll have to hold my reservations until after I see it.

Just kidding.  He looks like a bitch and I'll be truly disappointed if there isn't some higher-up for the good guys to kill.  At least I can hope that his death will be gory.

Jim Carrey is also in the sequel as Colonel Stars and Stripes, a baseball-bat toting good guy with an inclination for violence and a German Shepherd with a taste for testicles.  I've been getting sick of Carrey for a while now (Yes Man, Mr. Popper's Penguins.  Mr. Popper's Fucking Penguins), but this performance may turn me around.  I'm not sure what kind of accent he's using, but at least it's not one we've all heard a million times.

Overall, I'm a little disappointed in the lack of over-the-top violence in the redband trailer for Kick Ass 2, but it's possible they're saving those scenes for the movie or a later trailer.  If I had seen this trailer without seeing the original, I'd say screw it, but because I know what I'm getting into, I'll have to say I Will See It.

The Hangover pt. 3

The last in The Hangover trilogy, I can only hope that it's as funny as the first, because the second definitely wasn't.  Still, a must-see for many people, if only to see the shit the constantly blacked-out trio get themselves into.
