Trailer Park: Bad Doctors and 2012 Messengers
Filed under: Trailer Trash, Trailers and Clips
Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Terry Gilliam directs this tale about a wager with the devil. Like many I'm curious to see how the film holds together with the last minute change of having Heath Ledger's character played by Ledger and three other actors (Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell) but I think Gilliam has what it takes to pull this off. This one starts its limited release on Christmas day.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
Werner Herzog directs this sort of remake of Abel Ferrara's 1992 masterpiece of excess Bad Lieutentant. This time it's Nicolas Cage who tarnishes the badge in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I haven't been thrilled with Cage's choices of projects lately, but this one has my attention. The film goes into limited release on November 20.
2012
This newest trailer has dampened my enthusiasm for this movie. Sure the disaster effects look great, but the car and plane dodging unscathed between collapsing freeways and crumbling buildings breaches credibility. If you're still interested you can witness the end of everything on November 13.
Saw VI
VI? Really? Say what you will about this horror series (and I've said plenty), but it's got tenacity. The death traps and over the top gore will be hitting theaters on October 23.
The Messenger
After having recently seen him in Zombieland, Woody Harrelson's role here is strikingly somber in this tale of two U.S. soldiers with the unenviable job of informing people that their loved ones have been killed in the line of duty. This one gets a limited release on November 13.

"breaches credibility". Our whole row was laughing out loud at the latest 2012 trailer we saw before Zombieland... because it was freakin' ridiculous.
