Coming Attractions: Vaguely Embarrassing Edition

Judging is both my favorite hobby and the thing I am constantly worrying about. I think by this time it’s pretty clear that my taste is all over the place. I try to have confidence in my choices but sometimes I get in my own head about whether it’s okay to like certain things. Recently I have seen a number of movie trailers that I am super excited about but are featured on sites that are making fun of them. Check them out and judge away!

One for the Money: Katherine Heigl stars as Stephanie Plum, lady bounty hunter and star of Janet Evanovich’s popular series. Stephanie has recently lost her job in the lingerie department and ends up working for her cousin as a bounty hunter. She is tasked with finding Joe Morelli, a former lover and local cop. There are hijinks galore in the trailer, including crazy grannies, ex-hooker partners, cars being destroyed and romantic tension in awkward situations. The books are a fun, fluffy read that often make me giggle out loud and I am excited to see how it is brought to the big screen.



Big Miracle: Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski star as a news reporter and his ex-girlfriend who are determined to save a family of whales trapped by rapidly forming ice. Something about the combination of actors I want to be friends with, majestic whales, a group of people banding together to make a difference and the well chosen music make me a little teary when I watch this trailer.



Contraband: Mark Wahlberg does what he does best, toughest guy on the block with a heart of gold, in this thriller about a former criminal forced back into the life after his brother-in-law ruins a deal with a major crime boss. This trailer will get your heart pumping and looking at Mark Wahlberg is no hardship either.



Breaking Dawn: This is part one of the final book of the Twilight series, pretty sure it doesn’t need any more of an introduction. I am both totally over these badly acted, poorly written movies and strangely excited to see how it all ends.




Man on the Ledge: Sam Worthington goes on a ledge to plead his case that he was wrongfully convicted, meanwhile the largest diamond heist ever is happening across the street in order to vindicate him. Really, do I need to say more? Oh and did I mention that he is using his real aussie accent?
