It was an interesting week in movie trailers, the least of which is the Sex and the City 2 trailer. I'll probably still see it because it unfortunately looks much better than most of the films coming out. Included in this trailer is (in order) cute, but annoying rhymes, annoying monologue, babies, more monologue, a brief look at Penelope Cruz, some random guy in white, the desert (the title lied to us), evil paraphrasing of The Wizard of Oz, about 40 seconds bad jokes, some guy shows up, something happen(!), female bonding, and finally cocktails. If there's something important that I'm missing or not understanding, I don't really care. Here's the confusing trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKNkVKKrDq8
Next is a sweet little film called Paper Man, starring Jeff Daniels, Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal), Emma Stone (Superbad, Zombieland), and Lisa Kudrow. It's the story of a struggling novelist who isn't played by John Cusack, which automatically makes it different from every other film about a struggling novelist. Another cute twist is that his only friend is an imaginary superhero (Ryan Reynolds), and he starts a platonic relationship with a young girl (Emma Stone). It's a really strange story and if handled as jauntily and energetically as this trailer could go either great or mixed. The link for the trailer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5LPfNfSBmo
Finally, from the writer/director of Step Brothers comes The Other Guys, starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as cops who... alright. I'm not that sure about what exactly the plot for this film is, but from the look of the trailer it's pretty funny. The synopsis for the film paints the characters completely different from what the trailer shows us, but that doesn't really matter. I can't complain too much about this trailer, because it's a teaser, and it has Samuel L. Jackson in it. At the very least it will be 10-times better than Cop Out.

Now how long do they expect us to wait for another Inception trailer?
