The Gospel

The Gospel. Great movie trailer or greatest movie trailer, ever? The latter.

Synopsis. “A young singer turns his back on God,” A DEFINITE MOVIE, NAY Life, FAUX PAS, “and his father's church when tragedy strikes” – AWESOME! “He returns years later” FUCK YEAH YEARS LATER! “to find the once powerful congregation in disarray” I LOVE DISARRAY. “With his childhood nemesis,” FUCK YOU, NEMESIS “creating a "new vision" for the church, he is forced to deal with family turmoil, career suicide, and relationship issues that send him on a collision course with redemption or destruction” WHOA.


Boris Kodjoe, the uber hero of African American cinema is back! You probably remember him from the rather Lynchian film Brown Sugar.



“It’s your father’s legacy. Who’s gonna fight for it if you don’t?” I would comment more on this trailer if I hadn't accidentily stapled a condom to my tongue earlier in the day. Check out the trailer, check out the Gospel.

First Descent

"Snowboarding is the worst sport ever, blah blah blah, we're a bunch of snowboarders, big dumb deal, we, like, jump off mountains with, like, boards on our feet man."

That about sums up the first half of the First Descent trailer. Not a promising start, unless you like snow, boards, and bad haircuts. The second half is where they get you. The tone of the trailer changes, the dumb rock music, the stupid announcer, the TV interview style titles - all gone, replaced by amazing cinematography, perfect music, and the best killer shot I've seen in a long time. I think whoever cut this trailer was really happy with that last part, because it rocks. More than anything, the killer shot (which I won't spoil, go watch the trailer) reminds me of the Night Watch trailer. But it's real, so it's better. I'm impressed.
