Trailer Park: June



Trailer Park is a monthly post where we feature trailers for the upcoming months movie releases.


Coming into the second month of the summer blockbuster season, we dive head first into the comedies. There may be some really great movies hidden here, or they may turn out to be crap, either way there seems to be less heavy hitters this month then last. It's a toss up on who'll take the top box office on most of these, we'll have to wait and see.


The 5th


The Hangover





I'm not sure about this one. I do love Zach Galifiniakis though.


Land of the Lost





My Will Ferrell fatigue set in years ago and was only slightly tempered by the wonderful Stranger Than Fiction. This type of movie is up in the air, as with Snakes on a Plane its very easy to step over that fine line between funny schlock and stupid schlock.


Away We Go





Indie darling or lame attempt at trying to be? With Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road) behind the helm it can't be all bad right?


Other Releases:
My Life in Ruins
The Art of Being Straight
Downloading Nancy



The 12th


The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3





Ah remakes, Hollywood loves 'em. This will probably frustrate fans of the original, but be a perfectly serviceable popcorn action flick. As long as Travolta doesn't ham it up.


Moon





This is the movie I'm most looking forward to this month. With this and District 9 in August its sure to be a good year for some groundbreaking sci-fi.


Other Releases:
Imagine That
Food, Inc.
Sex Positive
Street Dreams



The 19th


Year One





This doesn't seem like my type of comedy. It does have 2 of the cast members of Arrested Development in it though.


Other Releases:
The Proposal
$9.99
Cheri
Dead Snow (haha, nazi zombies. Ridiculous.)
Whatever Works (Woody Allen, Larry David)


The 24th-26th


Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen





Here's the big one for June. Probably won't be very good but as a mindless action flick, why not. Luckily I never watched Transformers as a kid so I won't fly into a nerd rage over inconsistencies.


Other Releases:
The Hurt Locker
My Sister's Keeper
Life is Hot in Cracktown
Quiet Chaos
The Stoning of Soraya M.
Surveillance

Don't forget about "9". It's one of my most anticipated.

Yahoo Movies screwed me over I guess. Maybe I should find another place to get lists of movie releases each month.

Dan W Manhattan Ph.D said...

well it's not coming out this month, if that's what you mean. I just check out firstshowing.net daily along with slashfilm

Alex R. Cronk-Young said...

Oh ok. This is just for June releases. I only use yahoo to make these posts because they have all the releases categorized by day with descriptions and everything.
