I believe in Movie Trailers.
Unfortunately I usually like them much more than the actual movie.
When the editing of artistic shots, dialogue, music, and percussion are perfect it can actually be goosebump inducing.
Which is just a facade for a really good movie.
When it's really just a really good trailer.

This is a list of my favorite movie trailers. Although I don't think they're in any order. Well, I guess they are...

Letters to Juliet. Nothing really to say about this one. Trailer was better.



The Lovely Bones. This trailer was nothing like the movie which was rather dull and slow moving. Yet still faster than the book...the book was better though.



The Blind Side. Don't get me wrong. I actually really like this movie. It was really good and there were parts that made me catch my breath. But the movie trailer does give off goosebumps, and I dunno if I really got that in the movie. Like I said, the movie is still good though. So I guess if i were putting these in order, this would be towards the bottom...if one were the most liked trailer and least liked movie.



Life as We Know it. The movie was good. But all the funny parts were in the trailer. Which made the movie seem like it was going to be good, but then you already knew the funny parts.



The Time Traveler's Wife. The one movie that was better than the book. I've found it. But the trailer was better than the movie...I think. It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I remembered liking the trailer.



Morning Glory. The movie wasn't bad, it just wasn't the trailer. I loved this trailer, and watched it sooo many times.



I guess it's obvious that I like Rachel McAdams :)

Tristan and Isolde. This came out when I was in high school and I was so excited for it. The trailer built it up so much. The tv spots were just as good. Yet the trailer is the whole movie. Might have liked it better if I hadn't seen the trailer. But i did. And liked it better than the movie



I think that the most telling thing is that I don't own any of these movies. Although if someone were giving them away, or if they were on the $5 shelf at Target I might get some of them, mainly the last few.

I think that's enough for now. I had just planned to start this blog, but then it snowballed. And I know that I'm missing some. What about you? Which movie didn't meet your expectation that the trailer made?
