Honest Trailers - Spectre

Haven't seen Spectre? You probably saved yourself some time and money, but judge from what we learn here.

Honest trailers - "Gravity"

I picked this up from the Time magazine news feed, who have the following to say on the subject:

Just in time for the Oscars, the ever-observant Screen Junkies have brought us a new “Honest Trailer” — this time for Best Picture contender Gravity.

Basically, they pinpoint just about every criticism you probably had while watching the film — or the criticisms you didn’t realize you had until now. For example: Sandra Bullock’s character appears to have had little to no astronaut training, the film is essentially an hour and a half of people bumping into things and trying to grab things, and watching it on anything other than an IMAX screen will be wildly disappointing.

If you haven’t seen Gravity, be warned that this does contain some major spoilers. But it also might convince you not to see Gravity at all, in which case, spoilers are irrelevant.

Honest Trailers - Harry Potter

The gentle folk at screenjunkies's channel have come up with another one: an honest trailer for the Harry Potter movies.

Screen Junkies filters through the glut of entertainment choices—trailers, reviews, and original features—to highlight the shows and movies worthy of guys' precious free time. They sat and watched all eight movies (20 hours of Harry Potter!) so you can relive the moment or two you liked.

This trailer was written by Gina Ippolito, Spencer Gilbert, Jason Shapiro, Jason Pickar and Andy Signore, and directed by Andy Signore.
