Trailer Time

The Pink Panther: I'm going to reserve any snarky comments on this, because Angela (who worked on it) says the script is really funny. However, I will say that it feels kind of repetitive to have both Steve Martin and Kevin Kline in the same movie. Also, it looks bad. (See, that wasn't snarky, it was just mean.)

Miss Congeniality 2: Although it wasn't great, the first Miss Congeniality also wasn't half bad. And for some reason, I really liked the first half of this trailer, which suggested some sort of continuation of the story of the first Miss Congeniality, rather than just a rehash. Then the second half sucks beyond belief.

Sahara: This movie should be called, "Tanner Than Lindsay Lohan." Boooo.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith: This looks like three million different movies, smushed into one. Plus, its a remake. Plus, its pretty clear to anyone with half a brain what the last half hour of the movie is going to be like. But I love every second of it. It looks well filmed, the trailer is propulsively edited, and it seems to have a nasty sense of humor. It also looks totally hot.

Conclusion? Steve Martin, Sandra Bullock, and Matthew McConaughey leave me cold, but I'd totally go Lincoln for Brad Pitt.

Good God, you forgot to mention that the secondary title for Miss Congeniality 2 is "Armed & Fabulous." That's AWFUL. Also, the trailer ends with a double snort. NEXT.

Also, doesn't Mr. Matthew McConaughey seem to be doing an Owen Wilson impression in Sahara? And yeah. Bad. Looks like just another National Treasure ripoff.

I love the skulls that flash on the screen briefly to indicate Spooky Death.

What are you talking about?!

"Armed and Fabulous" is a GREAT title. I haven't watched the trailer yet, but it doesn't seem possible that the title isn't at least a little self-aware.

Andrew are you crazy?

Have you not seen Matthew's hot new Stetson commercial?

I wish I were a cowboy in a field with a woman and a hat by a tree.
