Semi-Pro. I think this has a distinct chance of being better than Blades of Glory (not very hard), but it will not live up to Talladega Nights. On another note, is anyone a little tired of Will Ferrell sports spoofs? Anyway, this was a rather lackluster spot that did little to entice me to see the film.
Wall-E. I have to say that this was, hands down, the best movie spot of the night. It was also the only one not to contain any footage from the film it is advertising. It is the latest offering from Pixar and it looks fantastic. The trailer has the little robot in a comical encounter with a vacuum cleaner while Buzz and Woody from Toy Story have a chat about the robot. Brilliant.
Jumper. From director Doug Liman, this sci-fi action/adventure looks like it could be fun. At least, that is what I am hoping for. It is the story of those who can teleport anywhere they wish while those who wish to stop them pursue. This ad did not show anything new, but it is the film closest to its release. Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bistor star.
You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Adam Sandler returns to his goofy roots following his strong dramatic turn in Reign Over Me. This time out he plays an Israeli special forces agent who wishes to get out of the business and become a hair stylist. Seriously, this could go either way. I am hoping it falls towards the side of good.
Semi-Pro/Bud Light. The beer company and the comedy team up for a gem of a cross-over. Ferrell is in his movie character, Jackie Moon, and he trying to film a commercial for Bud Light, and it does not go well. Rather, it is quite funny, especially the final line.
That about wraps up this special edition. I hope you've enjoyed it.
