TRAILER PARK: Indy IV, Superhero Movie, The Bank Job
After 19 years of waiting, Steven Spielberg gave a valentine to all of us today by unleashing the teaser for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Technically it’s not the best teaser … but that’s forgivable because it’s darn good to see Harrison Ford in that fedora looking as if he hasn’t lost a beat. Couple this with The Dark Knight and the 2008 Summer Movie Season is looking delectable. Watch the trailer in brilliant High Definition over at Yahoo or be lazy with YouTube below.
It was a sad day for America a few weeks ago when Meet the Spartans sprung to No. 1 at the box office proving that the American film audience may not have a sense of humor anymore. Well, what do you know … here comes another one: Superhero Movie. This time a young punk with special abilities (and a grandfather played by … wait for it … wait for it … Leslie Nielsen [how I long for the days of Airplane!]) dons a suit resembling the mutant lovechild of The Green Hornet and Spiderman in order to go around the city as the victim of some unfunny slapstick. I can’t wait.
Next up is a Brit-flick from Lionsgate starring Jason Statham of Crank fame looking like a mix of The Ladykillers and Inside Man. The Bank Job will be sure to draw out the testosterone is American males because the trailer promises explosions, women, and cool British accents. Nevertheless, it looks like a better use of a Friday night than Superhero Movie.

Man…Leslie Nielsen’s career just keeps sinking further and further into the proverbial toilet. He’s like a less-talented Steve Martin.

I too was underwhelmed by the Indy trailer while being simultaneously overwhelmed by it just because it was Indy.
That movie is going to make obscene amounts of money, and I’ll be right there tossing my $10 into the pot.

Personally, I thought it had a certain old-school charm, which has always been part of the Indy franchise. Count me in.

Yeah my $10 will probably be going in more than once. Looks as if we may to able to look forward to a whip-to-whip battle between Indy and Cate Blanchett.
