I grew up primarily on films from the 70s and early 80s. I consider movies from that time to be the true apex of movie-making. Sure we've had advancements in film technology (digital) and content (lifestyle, race, etc.) since then, but rarely do they add up to an entertaining whole. It seems to me that alot of films now seem to be comprised of good moments, but are never well-rounded enough to be rewatched. Movies from that period, more often then not, we're the sum of their parts. Filmmakers from then had their finger on the pulse of the pop culture collective. You could get thought-provoking, scary, funny, dramtic, and action-packed enjoyment...and somehow they managed to find the quintessence of whatever the subject matter was.
Point blank: filmmakers from the 70s and 80s had balls! And I want to find movies like that today. It's an undertaking...but I'm willing to do it for you. Because I don't want you to continue watching garbage!
So, I've appointed myself your personal "Movie Coach." My job is to prevent you from watching crap (or at the least, non-entertaining crap). Therefore, I'm starting a new series of blog post called "Trailer Trash." "Trailer Trash" will be a series of video links to movies that will be coming soon to a theater near you. Now, trailers can be deceiving, so don't hold me accountable if the film does turn out to be THE SUCK! However, I pride myself on detecting bad movies from a mile away, so I figure I have a 70% chance of success here.
First up...Jennifer's Body. The new film by Academy Award-winning writer Diablo Cody (Juno)!
