The Trailer Park !

A few new interesting trailer for this week. So lets dive right in............................

The Island : Ewan McGregor,Scarlett Johansson,Steve Buscemi,and Michael Clarke Duncan star in this new Michael Bay action/drama due out on July 22nd. Ewan plays a resident of a utopian contained facility during the late 21st century. Turns out that he and the other residents are actually clones and are waiting to be used for replacement parts for their real counterparts, and when they are picked to go to the Island(which is supposed to be a paradise) they are being sent to their deaths. The trailer looks very interesting and it looks to be a very promising summer movie.

A History Of Violence : I viewed this trailer for the first time the other day, and after reading the quick synopsis on the site this looks like a very interesting movie. Add in the acting talents of Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris and this could be a top movie of the year. Mortensen plays Tom Stall who lives his normal life in a small Indiana town until he foils a robbery attempt at his diner and in the process is forced to kill the robbers in order to protect his friends and customers. Tom is heralded as a hero and is thrust into the spotlight. Harris' character arrives in town after seeing Tom on TV and believes him to be a man who had wronged him in the past and seeks revenge.

Sky High : Disney sticks to the old adage,,if it's not broke, don't fix it. the new movie Sky High is like watching the Incredibles but as a live-action show. Kurt Russell,Lynda Carter,Bruce Campbell and Dave Foley star in this kid friendly movie. The children of super-heroes are sent to a school to teach them about how to use their powers and be heroes. The trailer is very funny and show much promise. Bruce Campbell (finally in a non-Sam Rami movie) plays the typical gym teacher/coach role and has a funny part in the trailer. This can be another super-hero hit for Disney and I am sure they will take advantage of as many tie-ins as possible. We can always use more Kurt Russell and Bruce Campbell action figures.
