Movie Trailers for August 2024

Harold and The Purple Crayon (August 2nd)

 

Maybe I don't get to shit on a movie that's laser-focused on being for kids.

But I really liked those books as a kid, so "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."

Trap (August 9th)

Hey look: it's another film by M. Night--DON'T WATCH IT.
 

Borderlands: The Movie (August 9th)

We are dead and this is hell.

It Ends With Us (August 9th)

 It looks kind of like an intense romantic drama. Not my type of movie--or my type of trailer--but it looks like a very good version of what it is.

War Game (August 2nd)

Is it a documentary of a war game? Is it a movie about a fictional war game to save budget on actually showing the war it's gaming? Is it the dramatization of a real war game?

Blink Twice (August 23rd)

Good to see Haley Joel Osment again. Fascinating premise. I'm completely uncompelled by Channing Tatum, but a good trailer is a good trailer.

Strange Darling (August 23rd)

The trailer says "go see it blind," which I would usually attribute to a bad movie begging people not to read reviews beforehand. But this is a thriller so it seems fair to ask that. As stock as it looks, it would need to have something original about it.

Something original beyond her poisoning the guy to make him a psycho.

Horizon: An American Saga: Part 2 (September 7th)

Okay, there's no trailer just for the second part, which makes me think the second part of this four part epic, will continue the original story which...best of luck Kevin Costner. 

Also, it was pushed back to September because, I presume, the first part bombed pretty hard.

Et cetera

The Umbrella Academy, season X 4 of X 4 (August 8th)

Let's do it! Let's not and say we did.
