End of the Week means TRAILERS!

Ryan Reynolds, A-List star, is finally getting the big push that seemed like it should have happened about four years ago. The one time guy and a girl and a pizza place was on the cusp but he took some lackluster comedies and the high profile gigs seemed to all go straight-to-development hell (Fletch, being the biggest one). But with "The Proposition" setting him up for a big leap with "Green Lantern" and a possible "Deadpool" film, it seems like his time has come. And what big jump to the A-list is complete without an indie darling film before the crossover (like Robert Downey Jr's "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" before Iron Man.)

Buried was a buzzed about Sundance entry, a one man show with Reynolds being buried alive in a coffin. Since being bought by the studio, there have been reshoots to add out of the coffin moments, which I'm sure many hipsters will say ruin the movie but I don't think they're a terrible idea on principle. Anyway, I haven't seen the film so what the hell do I know?

The second trailer is the second trailer for Tron. I recently rewatched the first one and remember that I didn't really love it. Still, I'm excited about this one and I think the 3D could be great. Of course, the trailer also has a shot of a poster for "The Black Hole", a film I absolutely LOVED as a kid and one that I wouldn't be mad to see redone. They could do a lot more with today's technology. I know a lot of people hate the remakes but let's be honest, most of the films from our childhood are dated and it's hard to really share them with the new generation. Granted, it would be nice if Hollywood at least tried to make the remakes good rather than tossing them to the latest hack du jour and hoping that the brand name alone will bring in the audience. I haven't seen it yet but it sounds like they did a good job with Karate Kid and so far Tron looks kick ass so hopefully we are in a new era of the studios actually not pissing on their great films by making shoddy cash-grab remakes.

Speaking of cash grabs, this kind of looks like one for Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, and John Malkovich but it also looks like a whole hell of a lot of fun. I guess that would make it more of a break from the heavy stuff than a "cash-grab".
