Three Wild Cards

Hello, movie lovers! I have three trailers today. They are all incredibly different but they have something in common. The trailers intrigue me but I just can't decide whether or not I think they will be good. Three wild cards.

First I have 'The Railway Man'. Trailer first.



The movie doesn't have a poster yet.
This is the book cover!
All right. So, it definitely piques my interest but it has the possibility to be so dark. I certain level of darkness is bound to be present but I hope they leave a lot to the imagination. The fact that it is based on a true story, naturally, makes me want to see it ten times more then if it were not. Sadly, I couldn't find a movie rating on the Internet. If it's 'R' we are probably in for some grit and torture. I'm pretty sure curiosity is going to get the best of me, I'll let you know the aftermath!








Next, we have 'Last Days On Mars'. Yes, it's a Sci-Fi movie set on Mars. It's an "Oh no, we aren't alone" running screaming sort of movie. Normally, I wouldn't blog about something that is so standard, but this one actually looks kinda good! take a look.



See? It might be that I'm slightly blinded by my great esteem for Liev Schreiber, but I want to see this movie. If it's done well, it will be a fun, suspenseful, action romp! There is a time and a place for those kinds of movies and frankly, Fall is that time! Bring it on weird alien disease/monster/whatever-the-heck-you-are! I'm making popcorn for this one, no doubt!!





Last, I have 'Nebraska'. The story of an old man who falls for a scam junk mail that says he won a million dollars.



I can't decide if they are just trying to be artistic and cool or if they're really being artistic and cool. The film style with the black and white (apparently the middle states don't even have color yet, so sad) could make an interesting addition to a quirky story line. That, or it gets quite old after 20 minutes. I just can't know! I have seen so many movies look like they are going to be all unique and fun and I just end up being bored for two hours. I'm probably being unfairly negative! It could be just plain great! I notice that it shares a director with 'The Descendants' which was an absolutely fantastic movie! So the director does know what he's doing. I'll wait and see.

So there you have it! Three wild card trailers to whet you palate. Which one looks the most promising to you?

    Three VERY different movies, that's for sure. The first one looks like it's very well done. Great cast. But I can't watch stuff like that. The second one reminds me of the Abyss. It might be a good scary movie. The last one, well, I've been wondering what Bruce Dern has been up to. He used to be on TV a LOT when I was a kid, mostly as a bad guy in westerns. That movie looks interesting. Thanks for another look into trailers I never know how you find!

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said. ...

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.

Kumea

Kumea (Koo-may) was a little girl. She was the age of ten and always wore pigtails clasped with a bright blue ribbon. Every morning Kumea woke up early, with the sun, and helped her mother tend to the rice farm in beautiful Japan. This farm year was different than all the others. The rice paddy was a sickly brownish yellow instead of bright lush green, and at night she would hear her parents talking about how the emperor would take their farm away if the weather didn’t change. One morning Kumea was gathering water from the creek when she thought she heard movement in the forest behind her house. Kumea took a little cup, filled it with water, and carried it over to a small yellow flower behind a shed. Slowly she poured water on the flower like she had done for weeks when her mother wasn’t looking. Just then a large cart approached the farmhouse with armored soldiers in it. Kumea peeked around the corner of the shed and watched the soldiers walk to her Father. The soldiers and her f...
