Trigger warning: The trailer for "Only God Forgives" features extreme violence. Oh yeah!
Only God Forgives

After Drive completely blew me away it's cool to see this awesome trailer for Nicholas Winding Refn's next movie. I award this awesome points for:
- Somewhat aping the synthy music of "Drive".
- Pretty awesome lighting effects in strong primary colours.
- Not only does Ryan Gosling return, but this film features none other than Kristin Scott Thomas being decidedly badass.
- Absolutely brutal violence. Oh my god yes!
Thor: The Dark World

Oh my goodness, isn't that trailer amazing? There seemed to be a bit of a mixed opinion on whether Captain America or Thor was better with few people really raving about either of them. Personally I was always more in the "Thor" camp and I certainly thought the character of Thor had a lot of potential for future movies. Well it looks like the time for Thor to shine is now. This film looks amazing. Marvel Studios clearly haven't decided to start backsliding after the success of "Avengers Assemble". Director Alan Taylor seems to mainly be known for tv stuff so far, however a lot of his most recent tv stuff is "Game Of Thrones" episodes, so I think that bodes pretty well for this.

I'm not really a big Sofia Coppola fan. I quite liked "Marie Antoinette", but not THAT much. As much as I loved Bill Murray's ad-libbed lines, I was decidedly not a fan of "Lost In Translation" which I thought was slow-paced and deeply dissatisfying. I gave "Somewhere" a miss when I heard it was even more glacially paced. But in spite of all my misgivings, I can't help but be excited about this film based on the trailer. You can never really judge a movie entirely based on its trailer, but I'm excited anyway. The idea of fans of celebrities who decide to rob those celebrities houses is kind of cool and I'm intrigued by the claim that this is based on real life. Plus Emma Watson just seems awesome as the completely amoral ringleader of this group.
Hatchet III

I haven't seen any of the Hatchet movies, but this just looks like so much fun. While it says "Adam Green" presents, the director is actually called BJ McDonnell. This is his first film where he's been the main director though he has worked as a camera operator on plenty of films in the past including Joe Dante's "The Hole", "Easy A", "Killer Joe" and the web video reimagining "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth". There's just something about this trailer that convinces me that it's going to be awesome. But then again, that's what trailers do...
The film also features Kane Hodder as the main baddie. Kane Hodder gained a pretty good reputation as the absolutely enormous actor who plays Jason Vorhees in some of the later Friday the Thirteenth movies.
If anyone doesn't know why I label all my trailer posts "too good to be true", I first explain it here.
