Trailer Round up

This week, I will be taking a look at a few recent movie trailers that have been important enough to catch my attention and blog about.

First up we have Rare Exports, a movie based on the notion that Santa Clause was actually frozen inside a mountain and after being defrosted turns out to be a bloodthirsty mad man. That’s right you read that correctly a whole movie based on a murderous Santa Clause. After many minutes of research I deducted that this movie is based on a few short films from Finland. I have watched both of the short films and let me tell you; the shorts are as bat shit bonkers as the concept itself.

Red Riding Hood is a movie that I have very mixed emotions about. First off it looks like a very “Twilighty” version of a beloved children’s tale. It is very loosely based on the original story, I am very certain the only similarity between the original and this movie is the red hood and the wolf, that isn’t actually a wolf but a werewolf (hence the Twilight reference). By the same respects they could have called it Looney Toons if they gave Amanda Seyfried bunny ears and replaced the wolf with a hunter.

Lastly we have the Green Hornet, a movie about a rich guy with a sidekick that goes out fighting crime. Now I know what you’re thinking, Ben you charismatic devil you, this sounds a lot like Batman. I wont disagree with you but I will say the differences are a plenty. The two most prominent differences are that this is a comedy and robin could speak English. I’m not ragging on his sidekick, he is a very good actor and trained fighter, all I’m say is you can tell he doesn’t know what the words mean he is just saying them.
