Trailer: The Rover


A lot of people are probably going to be inclined to dismiss The Rover out-of-hand simply because it stars Robert Pattinson.  I suggest that, if those people need proof that Pattinson is capable of more than Twilight, they should go watch Cosmopolis.

And besides, even if you aren’t a fan of Pattinson’s, you should still be willing to take a chance on The Rover because it was directed by David Michod, who previously directed the absolutely brilliant Animal Kingdom, and it co-stars the great Guy Pearce.

The Rover will be released in the summer of 2014.

 

Trailer: Nurse 3D


Amazing Spider-Man 2 wasn’t the only trailer released this week.  There was also the trailer for Nurse 3D, which appears to be a remake of The Roommate — except this time, they’re nurses, it’s in 3D, and the trailer’s broad hints of lesbian menace would seem to suggest that Nurse 3D comes from a parallel universe where Blue Is The Warmest Color was never made.

 

Trailer: Gimme Shelter


PCAS

This film, which features Vanessa Hudgens in a change-of-pace role, looks good and life-affirming.  However, there are two reasons for concern.

First off, the movie is being released in January, which is traditionally the time of year that all of the really bad movies are released.

Secondly, the trailer features three quotes praising the film but they’re all from the same review.

Hopefully, Gimme Shelter will beat the odds.
