KUSH TRAILERS OF THE WEEK
Cypher Avenue brings you the latest edition of Kush Movie Trailers. This week we have Repentance, Paranormal Activity: The Mark Ones, Reasonable Doubt, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and Transcendence.
Repentance
Wow a big budget Hollywood suspense thriller featuring an African American cast! Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie star in the film about a self-help author (Mackie) attempting to speedily help a fan (Whitaker) who is suffering after the loss of his mother. As you can tell from the trailer, things don’t quite work out as planned. I will be in line opening weekend to check this one out.
Paranormal Activity: The Mark Ones
I must admit I’ve lost track of the PA series but I do know that each one I saw had their share of creepy moments, so I’m sure this will fall in line with the previous films. With new creative twists in the tale, it seems like PA is a horror franchise that will be around for another 10 years. I do like that they have used a more ethnically diverse cast for their latest feature.
Reasonable Doubt
Aw shit; Samuel L Jackson is back playing a bad ass serial killer who gets acquitted by a prosecutor who mistakenly hits one of his victims with his car. It’s not as complicated as it sounds when you look at the trailer. Yep, seems like we got another suspense thriller on our hands.
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
Regardless of the real or perceived racial undertones of the first film, we are back with the second film of the prequel trilogy to the Planet Of The Apes films. Humanity appears to be in peril and humankind needs to interact with the genetically evolved “Apes” and their leader Creaser for some reason. All Hail Creaser!
Transcendence
Okay I’m loving the suspense sci-fi-fulness (yes made up word) of this trailer starring Johnny Depp. It reminds me of The Lawnmower Man meets The Borg meets Dr. Manhattan. Easy premise; scientist has his brain and consciousness uploaded digitally because his body is dying. Ok so nobody can see anything wrong with a human turned computer cybernetic mind possible controlling all the worlds’ computers? Nope, let’s upload and have some fun.
1. The Mackie and Sam Jackson films gave away too much in my view. I got bored watching the trailers. Poor editing on both of them!
2. Apes is a must see! Can’t wait to see how they portray the humans during their fall from grace.
3. Johnny Depp film looks promising. I just hope it has a few surprises. I want to be blown away by the storyline.
1. agreed they showed the whole movie in that Repentance trailer.
2. I don’t really care about Reasonable Doubt or Paranormal Activity: The Mark Ones
3. I can’t wait to see Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
4. and I have to see and hear more about the Johnny Depp movie I been burned by his movies before.
Unfortunately movie studios often give too much away in the trailers. It’s like they forgot the whole purpose of the trailer is to wet your appetite to see the film. Most trailers now are little more than YouTube clip that gives you the whole film in 5 min or less.
The REpentance film looks pretty freaking awesome. Like Misery with black people.
Can’t wait for the apes film. I don’t think the prequel had racial overtones but the Burton one did and I think that made it better.
I can’t deal with the Paranormal Activity film. I’m a bit upset that it’s made specifically to reach out to the Hispanic audience but no one is speaking Spanish lol. Seems like a total cash grab to me.
Where is the Veronica Mars trailer that was launched this week?
Veronica who?
Veronica Mars….you know…like the TV show.
Don’t you need a vagina to watch that show?
Hey, hey, hey!!! Don’t get it twisted bro… Veronica Mars was that shit!! Ain’t been a show yet with that much murder and intrigue!!!
LOL I’m sorry you knew I was gonna say some ill shit.
You right though. I felt my estrogen rise every time I watched it
I really want to see repentance. I love suspense/thriller movies. You don’t see a lot of suspense movies with an all black cast. I hope it’s good! So I swore that I would never again watch paranormal activity because believe it or not it really gets to me. Call me a punk or whatever but if I do watch it I couldn’t watch it alone lol. Some aspects of the movie are too realistic to me. I’m definitely going to watch dawn of the planet of apes. I think I will enjoy that one. And the Samuel Jackson movie is right up my alley, I love it when he plays these type of roles. When I read the storyline for the last film I didn’t think I would like it, but after watching the preview I became interested. It looks like the movie is exploring an interesting concept.
Being a fan of both Forest Whitaker and Anthony Mackie I do want to see “Repentance”. The rest I can wait until they come out on Blue Ray.
Ahhhh Repentance. Finally can’t wait for this one. Forest Whitaker never disappoints.
Did you guys already preview Captain America? Saw the trailer and well let’s just say… If they don’t impress me with this one, I will never like Captain America ever.
Im looking forward to all of these (aside from PA). 2014 might be a good year for film.
