We watch a lot of movie trailers here at ScreenCrave, and, as we inch closer to summer with its ever-increasing torrent of new films, we’re seeing more and more previews with each passing day. As we do so, we can’t help but notice some similarities, repetitions, and clichés among them. Here at Trailer Park, we’ll be offering a rundown of those clichés, where they come from, and which trailers share them. For our first installment, we’ll be breaking down one of summer’s most ever-present previews: The Heist Movie Trailer.

The holiday season is upon us, and apparently Santa Claus doesn’t know the meaning of the word “recession.” There are no lay-offs at the North Pole (unless you’ve just watched “Family Guy’s” Road to the North Pole episode)! With that in mind, we’re sure you’ve got some films fans on your shopping list, so we’ll lend a hand with our list of the best DVD and Blu-Ray discs that were released this year.
Whether they’re jam-packed with some of our favorite films of the year and some simple must-have films to satisfy the film fan on your list…

Fall is officially in full swing, and that means that all the major movie studios are celebrating the season by releasing their Oscar-bait projects. These are the pictures that feature less “badass action” and more “sensitive, nuanced performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sean Penn.” So, rather than reviewing all of these films individually, we decided to do what any dedicated movie-goer would do: judge them based on their trailers.
Let’s take a look and decide whether or not these films are likely to bag an Academy Award a few months from now…

No big surprises here… Take a ton of big names, a well-trodden plot, a character line-up that people seem to love, some good action sequences and Affleck and Renner dressed as creepy nuns and you’re sure to have a hit! Possibly not as big of a hit as The Town may have wanted, but hey, it’s been a harsh summer, maybe if it gets some award buzz it’ll stick around for a while.
All I can say is that I’m happy a nerdy harlot beat out an M. Night Shyamalan film. Check out this past weekends box office numbers below…

With all the great reviews coming out of Ben Affleck’s upcoming film The Town (bad title by the way), I’m hear to burst your bubble — I was not blown away, though I was not disappointed either. This is a great film shielded by it’s need to be perfect and relate to a mass audience, which makes it watchable but not overly impressive. With Animal Kingdom still out in theaters with a far grittier and more realistic experience that shows where the genre can go, not just where it is, it’s hard for another film with similar intent to surpass it.
That all being said, this is still a solid film and worth watching. Find out why below…
