John Dies at the End Film Trailer Review

After doing some digging about the film and seeing the trailer itself, this sure is one trippy film in the league of Donnie Darko but much more twisted. A film that will make you think... think like what the hell did I just watched.

John Dies at the End has what it takes to be another cult classic. It has all the elements of a grindhouse or exploitation film. It has drugs, crazy visuals, bizarre concepts and ideas. If one would watch this film once it gets released on 2013, you have to prepare your mind to be messed with. Does John Dies at the End and other crazy stuff will be answered when the film hits theaters next year.

Thin Ice is a 2012 crime drama film starring Greg Kinnear as a con-man who made the wrong decisions causing him to undergo a series of very unfortunate and tragic events. Can this Thinc Ice trailer holds the movie goers interests or just cracks open even before movie goers step foot on this film?

Thin Ice Film Trailer Review

When I first watched this trailer I really thought that this was some sort of a comedy or dark comedy, but it is not. Thin Ice is a crime drama film about a con-man picking the wrong choices and ultimately suffers the consequences.

So what about the trailer? It generally gives us what the film is aboutm but doesn't spoil what will happen next and how will the protagonist (assuming that it is Kinnear) get out of the mess he unfortunately created himself. The whole concept itself of a con-man chasing after a violin is probably gave the lighter vibe to it and thus the trailer somehow using a more upbeat trailer song, which in turn made me presuppose that this is a comedy. But since the element of death and blackmail is added to the mix, this may very well game punch to this film, making it a potential intelligently written crime film.

A New Nightmare Before Christmas with Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout because I'm telling you why... but you better think again after watching this very different Christmas movie. While Christmas is just around the corner, expect some feel good Christmas films hitting the theaters. But hold on a second as a 2010 Finnish movie dares to retell the story of that jolly old Christmas icon with Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale Synopsis
Premise

Summary: It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland and an "archeological" dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn't the one you want coming to town. When all the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity.

What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare - a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality. RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.

Santa Claus, who doesn't know that old jolly old man of pure goodness? If there is something that the Film Industry is good at, it's creating new ways to mess those concepts up for everyone's entertainment and satisfaction. What can you say about this trailer and the concept of a demonic killing Claus?
