The poster for this film was originally released in April, but the continuing press and the premiere of the trailer were put on hold. The name of the film was changed from ‘The Neighborhood Watch.’ Can you figure out why? Think about it- a group of men hunting aliens around the neighborhood shooting cows with laser beams.
It’s like Trayvon Martin. No seriously, this is what Hollywood thinks.

I don’t have anything witty or important to say here. Terry Crews whet my appetite for seeing this already. It looks great:

Everyone who works in marketing is an idiot. Lets just be clear. Unless of course you work for Old Spice or Lionsgate. The GENIUSES (and I’m not being facetious) behind the Expendables 2 campaign, just ensured that they will get my hard-earned $14 with this trailer for the trailer starring Terry Crews. This man could sell anything and I would buy it. Excuse me while I go slap on some Old Spice High Endurance at 10:00pm.
I’m sorry Judd Apatow, but I just think its WAY too soon to be rebooting Dan In Real Life:
The things that annoy me about this trailer:
1) People laughed in the theater like fifty eleven times, even though nothing was funny.
2) We Are Young is the song in the trailer even though it should have been Solsbury Hill. Don’t believe me? Just rewatch that trailer on mute and play this youtube clip of Solsbury Hill.

The trailer for ‘Lawless’ debuted this week. First off this movie instantly reminded me of ‘The Newton Boys’, which was a painful memory. But mostly I have a huge problem with this film over the casting- the two tough brothers are played by Tom Hardy and Shia Lebeouf.
One of those things is not like the other.
This is a bad trailer.
Practically the entire first act of the film is included here. Your stoner comedy shouldn’t have a plot that needs this much set up in the trailer.
The Michael Chiklis dressed/talking weird jokes fall flat, which only softens the Adrien Brody is also dressed/talking weird jokes. A movie with a unknown lead such as this one needs to use these familiar faces as enticement. Even if their roles are small the peeks need to make you say “Oh wow, thats (blank).” Both their character’s scenes are forgettable. Even if you found ‘The Hangover’ to be terrible (we did), I’m sure you remember the Tyson reveal in the trailer.
Also this trailer includes unexplained nudity. At least give a joke to go with it. Even if it’s a punchline from another scene, it would have a made it a less awkward moment. Also, when was the last time a crazy skateboard trick was ever used in trailer to make a movie seem hip? The answer is most definitely prior to 2004.
In the spirit of Movie Movie, this movie seems like someone saw ‘Orange County’ and ‘Pineapple Express’ then an equal sign hovered over their head.
