This may be one of the best trailers I’ve seen in a good long while, and I’m not even quite sure what the movie is about. I just know I really want to see it. Also, I want the soundtrack.
Johnson tells the tale of the Bloom brothers, two young con men whose lives change forever upon meeting an attractive young heiress named Penelope. While initially the brothers plan to con her, she becomes an unlikely partner in their latest scheme through an incredible twist of fate. The plot thickens when Penelope’s beauty and brains enchant one of the brothers, threatening to break a lifelong bond of kinship.
I like Jim Carrey, I do, but he hasn’t been in anything recently that I really wanted to see. Except for this. “Yes Man” looks entertaining. It has possibilities. I do have to say, however, he’s starting to look his age.
Jekyll is a six-part BBC miniseries that is now out on DVD in the US (I watched it a month or so ago). This trailer is just gorgeous, and gives you a good idea of some aspects of the show. I really loved… most of it. The final explanations and twists are a bit nonsensical, but up until that point it was thoroughly enjoyable, and I definitely want more.
