THE NEW ROAD TRAILER SEEMS MISLEADING

11.02.09 Written by Vince Mancini


98% of The Road consists of the two main characters, a father and son who never get names, avoiding gangs of cannibals and scrounging for food.  Great book, but I realize that makes for kind of a boring downer of a movie trailer.  Solution?  Just slap some triumphant background music over it (starts at the 1:25 mark).  Man, that worked perfectly.  All Viggo did was eat some food and watch a town burn, but I felt all proud, like I was watching Sandra Bullock teach a black kid to play football or something.

VINCE VAUGHN FAILS TO LEARN LESSON

11.14.07 Written by Vince Mancini

Robert Duvall has been cast alongside Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon in Four Christmases.  A movie in which “a couple struggle[s] to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day.”

That’s right, Vince Vaughn is doing another Christmas movie.  Hey, I like Vince Vaughn.  He’s got that Bill Murray quality going for him where he can even look good in a crappy movie, like Made or The Break Up.  But dude, Christmas movies?  Has there ever been a good Christmas movie?  Nothing can make elf ninjas work.  Especially not campy elf slapstick (okay, hyperealistic elf gore might work).  Doing Christmas movies is like starring opposite a monkey, or someone from Blue Collar Comedy.

Ask yourself this, Vaughn: do you want to become Tim Allen?  Even my neighbor Phil the dyslexic burn victim* would kill himself if he woke up as Tim Allen.

*Who has a terrible sense of humor, btw.  Seriously man, get over yourself.

‘WE OWN THE NIGHT’ TRAILER

08.16.07 Written by Vince Mancini

According to this trailer I just watched, We Own the Night stars Marky Mark and Joaquin Phoenix as brothers – on opposite sides of the law!

In a related story, I once killed a man with my bear hands.  That's right, BEAR HANDS.
