Here's two new movie trailers to ease you into your Friday morning.
First up we have
Date Night. According to
Rope of Silicon, the gist is this:
In Date Night
Claire and Phil Foster (Tina Fey and Steve Carell) are a typical suburban couple whose lives – including their weekly date nights of dinner and a movie – have become routine. To reignite the marital spark, they visit a trendy Manhattan bistro where a case of mistaken identity turns their evening into the ultimate date night-gone-awry. But as Claire and Phil take their unexpected walk on the wild side, they begin to remember what made them so special together.
Awwwww .... delightful.
The film also has a killer supporting cast, featuring the likes of Mila Kunis, Leighton Meester, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig and Ray Liotta.
Date Night is due for release in the States in April, 2010.
Next up we have
Kick-Ass, which is based on the ultraviolent comic by Mark Millar.
Kick-Ass follows Dave Lizewski, a high school dweeb who attempts to reinvent himself as a real-world costumed superhero named Kick-Ass who seems doomed to failure because he's not athletic or coordinated until he runs into real bad guys with real weapons.
This one actually shows a bit of a promise. Director Matthew Vaughn (aka Mister Claudia Schiffer and the producer of
Snatch,
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) wanted to stay true to the super violent comics, which cheesed off some of the bigger studios. So he basically thumbed his nose at them and went about securing independent finance so he could make it the way he wanted to.
Way to go.
Kick-Ass is also due for release in the States in April 2010.
Now, for no apparent reason, let's watch the 1987 Crystal Light National Aerobic Champions. If this doesn't get you fired up for the weekend, I don't know what will.
