Let Me In Trailer #1

[Video Link]


I have been fearing this day since I first heard about the American remake of 2008's (yes, 2008's!) "Let the Right One In" a few years ago, and it seems like my fears may have been well deserved. The original trailer for the film didn't rely on any dialogue or voice-overs, and came across as something much more intriguing and mysterious than the trailer for the remake. Don't get me wrong, it could still turn out to be a great film, I just fear that the new director is going to take to many chances with his "re-envisioning" of the story.

I am not going to lie, "Let the Right One In" is not only one of my favorite films, but one of my favorite books as well. This upcoming film has a lot to live up to, and from what I have read and seen so far it looks like it is going to be more of a localization than a remake.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 MTV Clip

The closer this movie comes, the more sad I get... but still, I am fairly excited to see it. At least they are giving it the "two part" treatment. Anyway, watch and enjoy!

On a semi-related note, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opens in a few weeks! Check out the site if you haven't already!

***Note: I apologize for the "lower" quality. Youtube took down the original upload so I just found a copy for myself.

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: Sleep Is Death

You never really realize how valuable your time is until someone is paying you for it.

Anyway, here is a "new" HAWP video (and by "new" I mean like a month old). Also, HAWP has a cool "new" site that you should totally check out. Anyway, enjoy your respective Memorial Day weekends (if you're in the states)! I won't be enjoying mine!

Inception Trailer 2

I can not wait to see this film. Not only does it seem interesting and engaging, but it also plays host to a great cast of actors. Circle July 16th on your calendars!

Jonah Hex Trailer

I will admit, I was moderately intrigued by this film when I first heard about it, and considerably intrigued when I saw the cast listing. But now that I've seen the first trailer, I honestly don't know what to think. I mean, it just doesn't look especially "cool," you know? Ah well, the film is dated for June 18th so I suppose we will find out soon enough.

The Last Airbender Trailer 3

[Video Link]

The more I see of this film, the more serious it looks. Where are the jokes? Where is the humor? I will admit that the bending looks great, but "Avatar: The Last Airbender" was not all action. I don't think that I have seen the kid playing Aang do so much as crack a smile even once. I am still anxious to see this film, despite the casting choices and the seriousness, but that is mostly because I just want to get it out of the way.

Prince of Persia Trailer #2

[Video Link]

I want to not have mixed feelings about this film, I really do, but I just can't get over some of the scenes and lines in these trailers. It could go either way at this point. I guess we will just have to wait until May 28th to find out whether or not the action can drown out the cheesy dialogue.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Trailer 1

[Video Link]

As much as I dislike Michael Cera (I am tired of seeing him play "awkward teenage boy" in every one of his films), I would be a complete and total liar if I said that this movie doesn't look awesome. On a side note, I am really glad to see that more and more non-mainstream comics are getting film adaptations. Hollywood seems to be taking less liberties with their stories (because that makes perfect sense) and has been making them look fairly amazing.

Anyway, enjoy the trailer!

Defendor Trailer

[Video Link]

Although this film has technically already released theatrically, I am sure that most of you have never heard of it. I have really been getting to like Woody Harrelson, though, so I thought that I would post the trailer for the film before its DVD release in April. This film reminds me a lot of 2006's "Special" with Michael Rapaport, but the story looks a bit wider in scope and more interesting. Anyway, enjoy!

New Iron Man 2 Trailer

[Video Link]

I was wondering when they were going to give us a new Iron Man 2 trailer. They showed the old one during the previews before "Shutter Island" and I was kind of disappointed. Ah well. Enjoy! The film is due for release in American theaters on May 7th!

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: Psychonauts

[Video Link]

"Ash dives into your brain!"


Haha, I suppose some minds are just better off unread. But still, that looked kind of painful.

Toy Story 3 Trailer #2

[Video link]

Wow, this trailer was far more enjoyable than the first one. It is able to showcase the humor and personality that made the first two films great while still explaining the "Brave Little Toaster"-esque premise (not that the comparison is at all a bad thing). I can't wait to see it in June. Enjoy!

The Last Airbender Trailer

[video link]

So, here it is. Your first "The Last Airbender" theatrical trailer. I will admit that the effects look nice, but I am still upset with most of the casting decisions. Ah well, take a look for yourself. Enjoy!

Just as a note, I have decided to start putting the links for the videos under their respective embeds to make it easier for Facebook people.

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: The Most Dangerous Game

"Pokemon is a very dangerous game."


Wow, it has been a long time since I posted one of these. At least this one is funny, though. Enjoy.

Repo Men Trailer

I can't say that I haven't seen this concept before, but the absence of singing and (hopefully) the lack of cheesiness will make this film worth the watch. The cast looks like it should be able to deliver, Jude Law and Forest Whitaker have rarely been known to do a poor job, but the real question is whether or not the script and the story will pan out. Ah well, "Repo Men" seem promising enough and April 2010 release date means that we won't have to wait too long to find out. The link to the official trailer is below. Enjoy.

Season of the Witch Trailer

Just how many upcoming films is Nicolas Cage starring in? I know he is in desperate need of work because of his recent financial troubles, but this is just ridiculous. He just seems to be popping up everywhere these days.

Anyway, "Season of the Witch" looks like it could be fairly interesting (regardless of the above), and this trailer sported a glimpse of a significantly deformed Christopher Lee and the always gruff Ron Perlman so I will definitely keep a spot open in my schedule for it. The film is currently due for release on March 19th and the link to the trailer can be found below. Enjoy.

The Fading of the Cries Trailer

I am having some very mixed feelings about this trailer. The story looks like it could be fairly interesting (albeit a bit generic) and the art direction is somewhat unique, but there are times when the CGI looks terrible and the acting comes off as stiff. Also, the lead actor is the kid that you may remember from "Rookie of the Year" or "A Kid in King Arthur's Court," and the main villain is the guy who played Wormtongue in the "Lord of the Rings" films. Anyway, I will definitely be keeping a lookout for "The Fading of the Cries," but it will be anyone's guess as to whether or not it will get a full theatrical release.

Matt Smith is Doctor Who...? (Preview Clip)

Why the question mark, you ask? Well, though this is just a short preview (about a minute long), I have already seen Matt Smith punch someone, hit what seems to be a Dalek with what seems to be a sledge hammer, and shoot a gun. Oh, and all while looking roughly 16-18 years old. I am happy to be rid of Russel T Davies, but this younger, overly eager Doctor just doesn't sit well with me. I guess only Spring 2010 will tell whether or not it works. Until then Matt Smith. Until then.

Inception Trailer

Christopher Nolan's latest thriller finally has a trailer to go with the unusual poster. I am kind of upset that they used the "From the director of 'The Dark Knight'" tagline as this film looks much closer to something like "Memento" or "Insomnia," but I guess you have to use your biggest success when it counts. Ah well. "Inception" looks like it will be fairly interesting from what I can see, but further explanation will be much appreciated. Also, yes, that is Ellen Page you see there. I will be seeing this opening weekend. The link to the official trailer page is below. You should click it.

Iron Man 2 Trailer

Iron Man 1, or "Maybe Next Time" as some refer to it, promised us a few things. From what I have seen of Iron Man 2, including this trailer, I think I can safely say that it is going to start delivering on those promises. More action, greater enemies, that Starkian humor we all know and love, and Warmachine. What more could you want? The film is currently scheduled for release on May 7th, 2010 so be prepared for the advertising storm that is sure to start soon.

Also, as with most of the trailers I embed here, I have no clue how long the "powers that be" at Youtube will let it stay up so be prepared to search for yourself.
