Don Jon

Don Jon caught my attention immediately. First of all, the trailer, in itself, is brilliant. I think most of us would agree that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great actor, but it's his knack for taking the skeleton of a character and adding just the right amount of original elements to make it jump off the screen that puts him in truly rare company. From watching the trailer, it's pretty clear that the Don Jon character will follow suit.

JGL is not only starring in this movie, but also trying his hand at the whole writing/directing thing. Now usually, I'd be weary of a big name making a jump to another field. Think MJ in baseball. But in all honesty, I feel like this is one of the few guys that can pull it off. He seems to have a true appreciation for the art of making movies. He's not a simple piece of the process, but rather the essence of the entire thing. Check out the trailer for Don Jon and tune in tomorrow for yet another top five trailer that has caught my full attention. 

Knights of Badassdom

Okay so maybe this isn't as cool as the Joey Diaz interview, but the truth is, setting up interviews isn't as easy as it looks. So to kick off the "Real Movies" section of the blog, I am going to post the top five upcoming movies that I simply cannot wait to see!

The first is "Knights of Badassdom". Uh, Peter Dinklage, Danny Pudi, Steve Zahn, and Jimmi Simpson. Enough said. With most of these actors better known for their television work rather than silver screen performances, I'm interested to see how they make their transition. It's difficult to imagine a more perfect cast for this type of movie. In order to make mock-dramatics equally hilarious, you need a group of actors that not only shine in comedic roles, but also possess true acting chops. A+ in that category. With a concrete release date yet to be announced, but a vague promise of "2013," I am cautiously optimistic that the wait won't be much longer. We can only hope. More updates soon. For now, check out the trailer below.
