kjpepperI bring you trailers.
Most of the upcoming movies this season I've been kinda meh about, but two of the trailers I've seen this week made me go "ooooh. Okay, I'll see that."
#1 NOTORIOUS

No, it's not a hitchcock remake with black people, though some of those beginning shots of Biggie do accidentally kinda remind me of hitchcock, lol. It's a biopic of the Notorious B.I.G. And it looks pretty good. There's a debate on how accurate it's going to be, if it's all going to be "West Coast == EVIL" or some shit and whether making this movie at all is just Sean Combs and Biggie's mother trying to further capitalize on the man's death ten years later. Still, it's got Angela Bassett in it, and generally her presence in a movie tends to be an instant integrity booster. So... we'll see.
#2 Repo! The Rock Opera

So the bad things: it's directed and produced by the makers of Saw, and has an albeit unrecognizable Paris Hilton in it. HOWEVER. Not only does this look and sound amazing (it's like Sweeney Todd, Blade Runner, The Crow, and Moulin Rouge had a freaky bastard love child) but it has both Anthony Stewart Head in it (yes, Giles! SINGING. A LOT.) and the bag of overstuffed operatic crazy I affectionately call Sarah Brightman. (And you know, Paul Sorvino, because, hey I don't know if he ever turns down a gig where he gets to both sing and act a little nuts). Yeah... if this looks as fun as the trailer, I might have to forgive these guys for five Saw movies, especially if they were using the money made off of those to make this thing.
So food for thought... and now I have to get dressed cause my doc wants me to go to the ER. ARG.
