Selma Trailer

Sure, its a biography and a few will look forward to it, but the question most of us will be asking ourselves is are these actors qualified to play such a great role? Will this movie actually be good? Unfortunately, the answer is probably not. I saw 2 good actors, but no great actors, and you need great actors to pull a biography movie off successfully.
Predictions:
EW: C
RT: 55
Imdb: 6.4

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Review

I watched Beverly Hills Cop for the 3rd time today, and it was just as great as always. The whole movie had a happy tone to it. It was funny, ridiculously and completely enjoyable. Eddie Murphy delivered his best performance ever as Axel Foley, who is one of the best movie characters ever created. Billy Rosewood also shines as a cool, supporting character of a 80's comedy. Beverly Hills Cop is pure enjoyment and laughs, and movies don't get much better than that.
Movie Rating: A+

The Gambler Trailer

While the gambler does feature an always-great Mark Wahlberg, and had other notable cast members like John Goodman, it didn't really get my interest. It was never thrilling enough or exciting at all, and I will probably not watch it. The trailer wasn't downright awful, but it was completely unforgettable.
Predictions:
EW: B-
RT: 59
Imdb: 7.3
Trailer Rating: C+

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies Trailer

The Teaser was such a disappointment, but some of that came from the fact that it didn't show anything. This one showed a huge war, and went more into detail. But it just showed the huge war. I love my Middle-Earth battles, but is that really going to be the whole film? Where's the adventure from the previous films? Also, there was no comedy at all. In the first and second trailer, there was plenty of comedy and it was also present in the movie. But, this was dark, and too dark for a hobbit movie. I've been looking forward to this trailer for a while, but it didn't not satisfy.
Predictions: Despite the bad trailers, I still think this will be a great film. At first I gave this a B, but after viewing this many more times, I realize it is more epic and great than I original thought.
EW: A

Chappie Trailer

Before the trailer, I was excited to see Chappie, because if I recall correctly, it was decribed as an action-thriller. It starred Hugh Jackman, who is always great, and Dev Patel, who isn't in enough films, but has the potential to b great. Then, I watch the trailer and find out its about a stupid robot, and is this a remake of Walle and Earth to Echo combined. I am adding a new element to my trailer reviews, I will put predictions of what ratings the movie will get based on that trailer for EW, imdb, and RT.
Predictions (Based on what I've seen so far):
EW: C
RT: 51
IMDB: 6.5

Macfarland, USA Trailer

I had never heard of this movie, but I decided to watch it. At first, I was doubtful of it: for two reasons. Kevin Costner just did a sports movie called Draft Day, and that didn't work out, and Disney sports movies don't work out. Reluctantly, I continued watching the trailer. The Diaz joke was funny, and once I learned the movie was about cross country, I was in. As far as I know, Disney hasn't made any movies about running yet, and it would add originality to their sports movie formula. Also, I'm a huge fan of the sport. The rest of the trailer looked interesting, Kevin Costner was good, and it had a good ending joke. This movie, for me, just went from unheard of to great. I may be in the theaters the weekend of February 20th.

In the Line of Fire (1993) Review

I didn't except much from In the Line of Fire, because it came from the Wolfgang Peterson, who make movies that look promising, but end up disappointing. Troy looked Epic, then failed. Air Force One could have been better. The perfect storm was pretty awful. But this one, was good, and not disappointing at all. Clint Eastwood proved himself as an action hero, and John Malkovich was even better as a creepy villain. The whole movie was entertaining, and it worked as mystery-thriller. It was good while it lasted, but not great enough to leave a great impression on me, or to want to watch again immediately in the future. It lost some of its greatness to an unnecessary romantic subplot, and also an unnecessary R rating. Clint Eastwood was cool, but not excellent like he is in Westerns. I enjoyed the movie, but am not eager to watch it again.
Movie Rating: B
