Trailers Week 44: 10/04/15

Vacation
We here at That Other Movie Blog have the utmost respect for the legend of comedy that was John Hughes and we have particular reverence for his Vacation movies. This reboot of the series of films should have us all nervous, but instead looks to be rather funny. In it, a grown up Rusty will take his own family on a road trip cross country to Walley World. Instead of being played by Anthony Michael Hall, he will this time be played by Ed Helms. Also starring Christina Applegate, Charlie Day, Chevy Chase and Chris Hemsworth.


Ricki and the Flash
Veteran director Jonathan Demme directs Meryl Streep in this film about ageing rocker (this time a woman!) Ricki, who is reunited with her estranged family after her grown daughter goes through a bitter divorce. Also starring Kevin Kline, Mamie Gummer, Sebastian Stan and Audra McDonald.


Freedom
This dual timeline movie follows a slave who has freshly escaped just before the breakout of the Civil War and the ship captain who transported his ancestor to the Americas. It's Roots, just modern and a movie. Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., William Sadler and Bernard Forcher.


Tangerine
This indie flick is about a girl who has been out of prison for less than 24 hours who finds out that her boyfriend cheated on her whilst she was on the inside and does everything that she can so that she won't get sent back inside. Starring Kitana Kiki Rodriguez, Mya Taylor, James Ransone and Mickey O'Hagan.



Absolutely Anything
This movie follows a man who is granted the powers to do anything imaginable and if he uses them for evil, the Earth will be destroyed by the alien civilisation who gave him the powers. It stars Simon Pegg, Eddie Izzard, Kate Beckinsale and the voices of Monty Python and Robin Williams.


Return To Sender
A rape revenge fantasy in which Rosamund Pike is the victim and slowly torments her rapist who was caught and is in prison. Also starring Nick Nolte, Rumer Willis and Shiloh Fernandez.


Magic Mike XXL
Mike the stripper comes out of retirement to join his crew and take on a stripping championship. In this trailer Channing Tatum gets hot and heavy with some metalworking and Joe Manganiello obviously never learned the correct way to drink water from a bottle.


An Open Secret
This week we end on a bit of a downer with a documentary about child abuse in Hollywood through the manipulation of child actors. It's a scary reality, but a story that needs to be out there nonetheless.
