Goosebumps Official Movie Trailer Impressions
Goosebumps Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Goosebumps official movie trailer? For starters, Goosebumps looks particularly pretty with its CGI monsters and gives off a "Jumanji" and "The Monster Squad" kind of feel to it. Knowing such facts, Goosebumps may very well become the next children's film classic. The original R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books are (of themselves) have such ridiculous concepts which provide genuine scares, taught lessons, and entertained a lot of children back in the days (and still as of the present) who are now seeing their favorite characters be brought to life... again.


Yes, I was able to say again as not long ago Goosebumps was adapted to a television series which captured the hearts of the kids back in the late 90's. The Canadian/American horror anthology television series first featured the monsters that we can see in this 2015 comedy horror flick starring Jack Black. While those who grew up watching Goosebumps (including me) where genuinely skeptical at first when I first saw it, it eventually grew on me as this is simply not an every re-telling of every story of the many R.L. Stine Goosebumps book, but a fresh film. A fresh take for a newer audience that celebrates the history of both the print and television media that was Goosebumps. A tribute of a film that could gather new market or kids to check out the literary horror classic, Goosebumps. I am generally positive about this film and will check it once it hits the theaters.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies official trailer? Well, what can't be asaid about the trailer? The title alone speaks for itself. It is a film adaptation of the 2009 novel by Seth Grahame-Smith parodying Jane Austen's 1813 classic novel "Pride and Prejudice". It is Pride and Prejudice only set in an alternate reality where a zombie outbreak endangers the 19th century England and it is up its English citizen to fight them using a wide arsenal of zombie killing weapons and martial arts. It is so ridiculous but it worked as the 2009 parody novel has been warmly received by critics and became a part of various best seller list (mainly New York Times and later at Amazon). A novel that warmly welcomes classical literature fans and the more contemporary fans of horror, comedy, and zombies.


One shouldn't really be surprised as many bestselling novel have been subjected to various film adaptation and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is way up on that list. The film is simply a treat for both classical literature fans whom had enjoyed the Jane Austen novel and modern movie fans into zombies. Who wouldn't want to see 19th century classy English women using martial arts (even Ninjutsu) to fight off hordes of zombies? Let's just hope that this film adaptation gives justice to its source material. You can learn more about both bestselling novels (the original 1813 Jane Austen classic and the 2009 parody by Seth Grahame-Smith) by checking out Wikipedia.

Who is fed up with zombies? Whether you like it or not, zombies are here to stay. 2013 will feature a new zombie film with a seemingly fresh take on the zombie film. Further research proves that the 2006 novel by Max Brooks it was based on received critical acclaim from critics and readers alike. Let's just hope Hollywood make this film adaptation right with Brad Pitt.

What we see in the film is a different kind of zombies, the running type. Zombies are already dangerous themselves but when they are at full speed out to get you? A what-if post-apocalyptic world chronicling the point-of-view of a man and his quest to fight this war against the zombie pandemic. Can the world be truly ready for such scientific anomaly? Fans of the zombie genre could have a another fave if the film adaptation actually work when World War Z hits US theaters on June 2013.

Warm Bodies Trailer Impressions Film Trailer Review

Zombies have become its own genre in Hollywood now. The usual theme is horror and comedy, but adding a romantic element to a zombie film is refreshing. This is what Warm Bodies did, which is pretty obscure. Well, the idea of zombies is already pretty over the top concept itself, but dying and becoming a zombie only to gain a second shot at life because of love is even weirder even for zombie standards.

Meet R, a zombie who can barely put words together. The trailer starts off at the point of perspective of a zombie which is also particularly new given that they are pretty much "brain dead" or rather they cease to exist when their brains are blown off. Zombies are pretty much the antagonists in this film, but the budding love between a teenage zombie and a teenage girl may give these warm bodied zombies a second chance in life. The only question is how can they convince living humans to reconsider their miraculous change of heart (and appetite) while another set of zombies of the sinister kind exists. My curiosity is piqued with Warm Bodies, I am just hoping that it doesn't suck as bad as that other romantic movie featuring a human and a more popular horror monster.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Film Trailer Review

What can we say about the second trailer for the Hobbit 2012 film adaptation that we haven't said in the first trailer impression we did? Now the second trailer has more epic action scenes and now with the well beloved Gollum a.k.a. Smeagol. Well chances are that Gollum wouldn't even be in this first Hobbit film, but what the heck it effectively builds hype and that is not really that bad. Misleading but not bad.

For those who loved and followed the epic adventure of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings film and book trilogy, this film adaptation is essential to complete what the first film trilogy has started. It is very much welcome for most of us. I am just glad that I haven't read the books so this new Tolkien film adaptation will be fresh to me. Now we have more epic medieval adventure fantasy to look forward for this year and the two year following that with the Hobbit film trilogy. There is nothing left to say about An Unexpected Journey but to just enjoy it this Fall of 2012.

Plot / Synopsis

James Bond was presumed dead after an operation that ended in a disaster which later exposed the identities of every active undercover MI6 agent. M becomes the subject of a government review over her handling of the situation.

Skyfall Film Trailer Review

Agent 007 is dead. Really? Do you seriously believe that we would believe that? He should have died ages ago, but he is still here amidst all of the impossibilities of the mission (and the women) he has been assigned to. This time the story revolves around Bond's presumed dead after a failed mission which later compromised the whole MI6. Then we have Bond to rely again to hunt down the mastermind(s) behind it.

This 2012 we have another round of Daniel Craig as Agent 007's high octane action, cool gadgets, hot women, betrayal and conspiracies. There is nothing left to say, the trailer speaks for itself. Those who grew up with 007 and likes action will have no problem or have second thoughts with Skyfall.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer Impressions: A Crazy Take on a Historical Figure with Vampires

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is 2012 supernatural thriller film based on a 2010 novel Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. This "what if" fictional supernatural horror film adaptation of the mashup novel gained mixed reviews back on 2010. The film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith which is slated for a June 2012 theatrical release plays with the idea that the historical American icon and 16th President of the United States was a vampire hunter. Let's take a look at this seemingly crazy idea of a book adapted to a 2012 film here.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Plot / Synopsis

President Lincoln's mother is killed by a supernatural creature, which fuels his passion to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is directed by Timur Bekmambetov, screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and is produced by Bekmambetov and Tim Burton. The film stars Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper and is distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Film Trailer Review

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has a pretty interesting yet crazy theme. Hopefully Americans won't take this film too seriously in a sense that they would find it insulting to see the country's greatest historical icon behind the abolition of slave trade and a symbol of equality as a vampire hunter.

I personally think this is fresh. I like "what-if" scenarios done right. Reading the summary of the novel which already spoiled the film for me, all I can say is that amidst the film's seemingly absurd and preposterous concept, the film hopefully would be as entertaining as the novel it is based from. I am optimistic that this film will be a good one and will be putting this under my watch-list this 2012.

The Hunger Games Trailer Impressions: A Promising New Franchise

Whether you like it or not, Hollywood will have its way on your much beloved book via movie adaptations. You have to give them props though for adapting those seemingly complex and endless chapters of a book into a two to three hour flick. Only few films have successfully mimicked its original counterpart's success, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are the two best examples of which. Now another film based on a book is on the works, and he premise alone is solid... The Hunger Games.



The Hunger Games
Plot

Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used to be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Katniss' sister is chosen by lottery, Katniss steps up to go in her place.

Trailer Reviews

Hollywood had its fair share of movie adaptations and if you have been a big movie goer, you'll know that not every book adapted to the big screen is as good as what you might think of it, I am looking at you Twilight. But every once in a while there are actually good movie adaptations that comes along the way that proves that Hollywood still has "it". Call me optimistic about "The Hunger Games" but after reading the premise and this teaser, it somehow give the impression that it is one of those good movie adaptations.



The Hunger Games is slated for a March 2012 release and they are a bit successful in teasing with this trailer... at least for those who have read the book. But for someone who doesn't know about the books, this trailer might be a little obscure. Hope the next trailers would include stating a post apocalyptic world and a few characterization of the protagonists without spoiling too much on what will happen in the film. If you got curious on the premise I said earlier, then go spoil yourself by reading it on Wiki or some book reviews on the net. Hopefully you won't spoil your self too much to not see this movie as this MIGHT potentially be the next Harry Potter film franchise; or maybe I am just hopeful of seeing a good novel to film adaptation once again.
