These Trailers I See, They Call to Me.
Those of you who have read The Shack for a little while know that I don’t often to out to movies. There’s something inside me, perhaps stingy Puritanical blood, that hesitates to spend ten bucks and three hours of my life on a movie I may not like. However, I can be lured by tasty trailers, as least close enough for a movie studio to tenuously set the hook. I still may not get into the theaters (I have yet to see District 9, for instance) but I just might (like when I saw War of the Worlds).
This, my friends, is a very tasty trailer.
My guess is that Robert Howard purists around the globe are shrieking in pain right now at the assaults this trailer perpetrates upon his august personage, but…BUT…this is Solomon Kane. He is the original fictional action hero. How else are you going to portray him in a movie?
What would kill the mood for me is an annoying hip-hop or action movie guitar rock soundtrack. Solomon Kane is a Puritan. He cares not for your Aerosmith and your Jay-Z.
Not related to Solomon Kane, but related to shows I will be watching next year, there is this:
Band of Brothers is, hands down, the best miniseries I have ever seen. I still can’t watch many of the episodes without getting a huge lump in my throat. If The Pacific is even half as well-done as that, it will be the best thing on television the entire year.
