The critical folks over at Screen Junkies have just released their Honest Trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger, just in time to rib the old film before WInter Soldier is upon us.
And the ribbing goes from the it-just-exists-to-set-up-”The-Avengers” to the fact that Hugo Weaving, again, plays the villain in a big summer blockbuster *yawn*
All hail Mikey Bolts, he will earn your instant respect with his phenomenal rendition of Pharrell’s track Happy.
In what must surely be the best cover version of any song in the world ever, Bolts mimics Stewie, Peter, even Herbert the Pervert gets to lay down some lyrics. Superb.
Cinema Sins cast their scrupulous eye on the Harry Potter franchise, taking shots at the fourth installment, The Goblet Of Fire.
Sure it might have everything you think would make a great movie—a tournament, young love, illogical dragons—but some how it still managed to suck.
Batman’s not content to be the star of his own movies, his ego is so mega he has to star in other people’s films too.
So here he is cropping up again in famous movie scenes to tarnish your memories of them and be all aggressive and husky voiced.
The Screen Junkies guys previously showed how John McClane would need four lives just to get through the first Die Hard movie, so what about the other four?
Let’s just say that McClane should be grateful the laws of science don’t apply to Hollywood, because otherwise the movies would need to be set inside a hospital (preferably in McClane’s own head), while McClane lies in bed in an induced coma, wrapped in bandages.
From Ferris Bueller giving life advice (“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”) to Tyler Durden giving the audience some home truths about consumerism, characters love breaking the fourth wall.
Meaning, they love crossing that fictional line and addressing the audience head-on because, you know, movies are actually real. And here’s ten of the best moments of that, picked subjectively by a random stranger who you’ll probably disagree with.
The Honest Trailer crew really couldn’t have made a more accurate trailer for Disney’s Christmas hit Frozen.
“From the studio that finally learned how to make Pixar movies,” it begins, “…comes the feature-length music video for ‘Let It Go.’” Pwnd.
With language spoken almost inaudibly in regional accents, yeah, True Detective is pretty hard to understand. But it’s not quite as baffling as this parody from the guys at The Soup.
In which they do a great job of spoofing the hell out of the gibberish (or rich and complex dialogue if you’re a fan of the show) that Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson spout.
