Trailer Trash 4 of 4:
PRISONERS (Hugh Jackman, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, and Maria Bello as 2 couples desperately seeking their missing kids)–yes….
THE BUTLER (history through eyes of White House butler Forest Whitaker and his mom, Oprah)–sure to be preachy, but yes….
GROWN UPS 2 (Sandler, Rock, Spade, James; over-the-hill hijinks will ensue)–no….
PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS (#2 in the Greek-mythology-meets-the-modern-world series)–the first was surprisingly charming, so yes.
Trailer Trash 3 of 4:
GRAVITY (astronauts George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, and a mishap in orbit)–One of the most effective trailers I’ve ever seen; hell yes….
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (Tom Hanks vs. Somali pirates)–I guess so….
DESPICABLE ME 2 (animated supervillain sequel)–yes, but I’m biased….
ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND CONTINUES (Will Ferrell reprises ’70s news oaf)–whatever.
Trailer Trash 2 of 4:
BEFORE MIDNIGHT (third in Richard Linklater’s romantic trilogy starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy)–I haven’t seen the first two, so I’ll pass….
