JAWS Rip-Off Trailer Tuesday: Tintorera...Tiger Shark aka Killer Shark (1977)

Now there is vengeance. There is man versus the sea's deadly high executioner. A monstrous killer is churning up the sea.  I am rolling my eyes. This is Tintorera...Tiger Shark (2977).

JAWS Rip-Off Trailer Tuesday: Great White aka The Last Shark (1981)

Today's feast for the eyes is not the first in the rip-off parade (or even the best) but the one that Universal felt so threatended by that they sued. Today we watch GREAT WHITE aka THE LAST SHARK (1981). 

Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Batman Vs Superman IMAX Teaser

M.E. Strange here. I've been trying to get the man named Quit to write on the blog FOREVER. There is no man who has his pulse on upcoming pop culture like Quit so when he told me about the special Batman vs Superman IMAX trailer that he was able to go to I begged him post about it. Hopefully this the first in a long line of posts from him. Let him finish it off...

Ghostbuster Trailer Tuesday: 'Ghostbusters' (1984)

Teaser trailer Tuesday has been given a break for 30 Days of Ghostbusters. In its place we will be looking at trailer associated with...can you guess?

Countdown to Halloween Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Friday the 13th Part 6 (1986)

Being that soon our 30 Days of Ghostbusters begins and Teaser Trailer Tuesday will soon become Ghostbusters Trailer Tuesday so let's get one more horror teaser in before Halloween. So, let's choose one of the coolest teaser trailers ever...'Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives'.

Countdown to Halloween Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Halloween III : Season of the Witch (1982)

Being that today is officially the first day of fall I knew that only one film could be featured for our teaser today.

Uh, not exactly. While 'Halloween' is one of the essential films of autumn it wasn't big on teaser trailers. It was a low-budget film and probably didn't have the budget (or prospect) that normally calls for a teaser trailer. Instead I want to focus on the teaser for a film that had a rather large prospect: Halloween III Season of the Witch (1982).

Countdown to Halloween Teaser Trailer Tuesday: The Fog (1980)

The beginning of Countdown to Halloween means that TTT gets the Halloween treatment as well and today we have a creepy chiller from the 80's in John Carpenters 'The Fog' (1980).

Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Birdman (2014)

Last week we took a look at Michael Keaton as Batman, now we take a look at a trailer with Michael Keaton as his great other superhero character...Birdman (2014).

Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Batman (1989)

So for today I was thinking "what makes a good teaser trailer?" Fun, short, and lacking major plot points are the standard fair, but what about not even revealing the film's title? This trend started in the 80's with early film poster featuring only a logo or teaser image with the words "Coming Soon" or "Coming to Save the World this Summer" or so on. These films, usually with a high profile, would also parlay this mystery into their teaser trailer as well. One of the best is today teaser: Batman (1989).

Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Hook (1991)

As you read yesterday (if you did) I'm a big Robin Williams fan. The man was a classically trained actor and could own every scene he was in if he wanted to. Everyone has a particular Robin Williams film that they are a fan of but many members of my generation will think of either 'Aladdin' (1992), 'Mrs. Doubtfire' (1993), or today's Teaser Trailer Tuesday selection 'Hook' (1991).

Teaser Trailer Tuesday: Gone Girl (2014)

Last Tuesday I introduced a new segment called "Trailer Trash Tuesday" featuring trailers of a rather repugnant nature. I thought I was very smart...until I saw that there were already several other outlets doing a much better job of featuring trashy or genre trailers on Tuesday (with better names as such as "Trailer Park Tuesday").

So, I decided to change the focus from "trash" to 'teasers", those wonderfully short and enragingly cryptic trailers that give us little, if any, information about the nature of the film in question.

These trailers are noteworthy for usually being the first glimpse we get of a film, orchestrated to introduce us to the visuals we will expect to see while featuring no strong story or plot elements.

They show enough with us left wanting more.

So, let's us begin...

with the moody trailer to David Fincher's upcoming  Gone Girl (2014)
