THE REMAINING
Summed up as:This Is The End minus the comedy plus a bit of Cloverfield. In other words, cool!
Be sure not to miss: The gorgeous Italia Ricci, whom we had the pleasure of interviewing last week!
Scariest thing in the trailer: The airplane crashing on the buildings
Worth seeing opening weekend? We shall be there.
BOOK OF LIFE
Summed up as:The Nightmare Before Christmas goes to MEXICO!!!!
Be sure not to miss: It sounds like Channing Tatum is having about as much here as his gleefully #NSFW cameo in the movie referenced above, This Is The End (we mean, a lot!!!).
Funniest thing in the trailer: Ice Cube doing his best Robin Williams as an imaginative genie-like character named the Candle Maker.
Worth seeing opening weekend? With Guillermo Del Toro producing, this homage to the breathtaking universe of Dia de los Muertos is quite simply a must-see.
PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR
Summed up as: The undeniably funny-looking spinoff featuring those kooky birds from Madagascar.
Funniest thing in the trailer: The cheese snack moment!
Coolest thing: The crosswalk camouflage moment.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Not especially, but it does look so hilarious and cuuuute….
LEFT BEHIND
Summed up as: Nic Cage in yet another event/end of the world/disaster/insert here movie ridden with vehicular disasters. Looks eerily similar to The Remaining above, too.
Be sure not to miss:Back to the Future’s Lea Thompson, getting serious screen time here!
Did they show too much? No! We want to see more of Jordin Sparks as an actress.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Only if you really like Nicolas Cage (there are not many of us).
BELIEVE ME
Summed up as: A morality tale with an economic and timely punch.
Be sure not to miss:Max Adler, our fave actor from Glee, with the brilliant finishing touch here.
Did they show too much? Yes! We do not need to know if they get caught or not.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Why not?
WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAY
Summed up as: An adolescent travel/adventure movie with awesome accents.
Be sure not to miss: The opening scene of this trailer is pretty brilliant.
Funniest thing in the trailer: The F-in’ B-word of a monologue by an amazing young actor named Bobby Smalldridge, and the reaction it produces in the adults.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Stream it online!
TWO NIGHT STAND
Summed up as: A What If that is gimmicky, but can still be played right: what if you got stuck with a one night stand the morning after? Like physically trapped due to a freak snow storm?
We are thrilled because: This is undoubtedly Analiegh Tipton’s first lead role, after character turns in films like Warm Bodies and Lucy (a movie she stole in literally one scene). We couldn’t be happier for her!
Funniest thing in the trailer: Miles Teller being Miles Teller.
Worth seeing opening weekend? We’ll give it a shot.
Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story – Teaser clip
Summed up as: Title says it all. Definitely falls into the so-ridic-it’s-amazing category!
Funniest thing in the trailer: The toughest choice ever: Lark Voorhees’ behavior, or how about the Elisabeth Berkeley to the rescue moment?
Cutest thing in the trailer: Zak Morris’s face!!! (aka Degrassi: TNG’s Campbell Saunders!!!!)
DVR or watch it? WATCH IT!!!
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS aka WATERCOLOR POSTCARDS – Teaser clip
Summed up as: Bailee Madison (The Fosters’ Sophia) takes control in this preview of her new film.
Best thing about the clip: How incredibly mature and on point Bailee seems opposite costar Laura Bell Bundy (Hart of Dixie).
Did they show too much? Not even close! We are intrigued.
Watch it or DVR it? We want to see more, but DVR for now.
