Trailer Reviews, Week 2

We moved! You can now find us at our own location, MovieBoozer.com | Movies Measured by the Pint! Movies Rated by Beers! We also have a new forum!

The Mechanic



So, Jason Statham is remaking a Charles Bronson vehicle about an assassin? Sounds about right. Wait, Ben Foster’s in it? Well, maybe…

There’s no hamstring spearing in this trailer, but there is just about the entire plot. If we’re not seeing scenes from the climax at the end there, I’d be a monkey’s uncle.

Which is not as fun as it sounds

Beer Prediction

There will be plenty of shit blowing up, and Ben Foster’s inclusion gives me hope that it will be a bit smarter than your average actioner. Still, I’m betting that the plot will be paint-by-numbers.

The Rite



This trailer starts out well, looking like a polished and creepy new exorcist tale. This territory has spawned some of the most frightening movies of all time. At the end, though, we get a CGI demon face and “Everything you believe will change.”

The t.v. spots for this one have been making other claims like “Anthony Hopkins’ best performance” and “You’ll believe in the devil.” Overcompensating much?

Beer Prediction

Anthony Hopkins could always elevate this one, but he’s signed up for plenty of crap over the years. The trailers show enough of its hand to make me think this will be more of the same.
