Today's bag of Trailer Trash contains three eagerly anticipated trailers. The first, an ill-fitting thriller from Jim Carrey. The second, an attempt to justify the existence of ping-pong outside Asian countries. The third, Clint Eastwood's attempt to justify making Flags of our Fathers.
The Number 23
Serious Jim Carrey shows up for his first ever thriller in the new movie from Joel Schumacher. In it, Carrey plays a man who reads a book he believes to be about his life. The book causes him to obsess over the number 23, and soon he's seeing the number in every single aspect of his day to day activities. Before long the devil gets brought into it, Jim dies his hair black and starts threatening Virginia Madsen. Anyone else starting to miss the Jim who talked out of his ass? This first Number 23 trailer makes me wish we could bring him back. Jim Carrey does not belong in The Devil's Advocate.
Balls of Fury Balls of Fure arrives next year to do for ping-bong what Dodgeball did for bullies pounding kids in the head with rubber spheres… which is to say absolutely nothing. After a very brief trip into the mainstream dodgeball has vanished from the public consciousness almost as fast as the movie bearing its name did. Despite the presence of Chris Walken and a punny fun name, the first trailer for Balls of Fure doesn't make it look like something that'll do any better.
Letters from Iwo Jima
If like a lot of people you were disappointed in Clint Eastwood's Flags of our Father, then maybe you'll like the movie better if it's told from a different perspective. Letters of Iwo Jima was filmed by Clint at the same time as Flags of our Fathers, and tells exactly the same story but from the Japanese perspective. Flags of our Fathers got lost amongst a lot of political flag waving, hopefully Letters from Iwo Jima will actually get down to telling the business of what happened on that isle. Could this be the Japanese Alamo? It hits America early next year, but right now all we have for it is a sharp looking international trailer. Learn Japanese then download below.
