Trailers of the Week: 3/22/2010

Okay, I decided to highlight two trailers this week:

Exporting Raymond

This is a documentary centered around the journey of Phil Rosenthal as he travels to Russia to help do an adaptation of his hit series Everybody Loves Raymond. Its a real fish out of water tale in just about every sense and it looks as though Rosenthal's sense of humor really adds to the way he adjusts to his surroundings. Being a documentary it will probably go overlooked, but if it happens to be playing in your area its probably worth checking out, especially if you happen to be a fan of the original show.



Super

I was a big fan of last year's Kick-Ass, I just loved how dark the film was both in its humor and action, though I can see how some people would be put off by it.

That said next month comes Super which falls in the same vain of being about a man who decides to fight crime when his wife leaves him for a local drug dealer. Directed by James Gunn, who's previous film credit was 2006's Slither, and it seems to carry the same dark and gritty humor that Kick-Ass did. With a high caliber cast including Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillon     it looks like it'll be a lot of fun. Due to the lukewarm success of Kick-Ass though, much like Exporting Raymond this film likely wont be playing everywhere, but it still looks like its worth checking out if happens to be playing near you.
