Trailers and Reviews

I like watching movies. Because of this I watch a lot of trailers. I know that I have posted on this before but I want to underline its importance. Watching trailers and reading reviews has not led me wrong on a movie in probably the last five years. I end up being informed when I go to rent a movie and simply end up using my time and money better.

You and me Paul. The best movie reviewers to me are ones from whom I can tell I'll like a movie, even if they don't like it, or vice versa. And in the theaters, you can read between the lines, so to speak, and just tell that a movie is going to blow, that the trailer is actually better than the movie.

For instance, I am looking forward to Troy because I like the story so much, but the trailers leave me in doubt.

And Jerry Bruckheimer productions are almost always bad, imho.
