The Intern Archive Update #6
In The IAU we cover some jersey boys getting some sort of signal and Hercules makes an appearance as well.
YOU HAVE TO BE
WORRIED OR EXCITED
Trailer #1: Hercules
Directed by Brett Ratner starring Dwayne Johnson and Ian McShane
Synopsis: This is the story of Hercules leading up to the legend. It if full of little lies and big lies until Hercules does what he can to become the legend everyone thinks he his. Dwayne Johnson appears cartoonish in this and the movie just is not well done. Bring some drinks and some friends and you could shhh this movie the whole time.
Nathan excited about the imagery
Daniel excited because this should have happened with the last hercules movie.
Rotten Tomatoes 60% IMDb 6.1 Intern -1
Winner: Both boys lose out on this one it is not really worth watching.
Trailer #2: The Rover
Directed by David Michod starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson
Synopsis: Is a post apocalyptic movie about an Australian man attempting to get his stolen car back. This movie has Robert Pattinson playing his best role to day a dim witted young man. Throughout the movie the two characters build a relationship that is full of tension but that doesn't change the fact that it is a movie about a guy trying to get his car back.
Nathan got excited and let his appeal for Guy Pearce sway him.
Daniel also got excited but though the trailer didn't do the movie justice.
Rotten Tomatoes 66% IMDb 6.4 Intern 0
Winner: It's a double team loser on this one as well.
Trailer #3: As Above So Below
Directed by John Drick Dowdle starring Perdita weeks and Ben Feldman
Synopsis: A student of history is looking for a stone. Her research leads her to the catacombs in Paris. She ends up finding the philosophers stone and works her way through hell itself to the freedom of Paris in the end. This is a much higher quality type filming like The Blair Witch Project. This movie was just okay.
Nathan is worried about the Paris reference to the catacombs that might not have anything to do with the movie
Daniel leans worried seems like it will be like The Descent.
Rotten Tomatoes 26% IMDb 6.1 Intern +1
Winner: Just 3 losers in a row no points so far this could just be bad judgement all the way to the end.
Trailer #4: Jersey Boys
Directed by Clint Eastwood starring John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda and Vincent Piazza
Synopsis: They sing and break the 4th wall talking to the camera. It is a story of success, betrayal and success again of the band The Four Season with Frankie Valli. Based off of a book by David Cote as well as a play. This movie feels like watching a play and the breaking of the 4th wall was a turn off for me.
Nathan got worried due to Clint Eastwood not being a sure thing with all of his movies of late.
Daniel is worried about the 4th wall breaking throughout the trailer.
Rotten Tomatoes 52% IMDb 6.9 Intern 0
Winner: They finally both win and get a point for the scale later on.
Trailer #5: The Signal
Directed by William Eubank starring Brenton Thwaites and Olivia Cooke
Synopsis: The Signal is about a few students who wake up in a solitary hospital type place and start having to answer real questions like are you from earth? It just builds and gets better from there as they run away and try to find out what happened to them before waking up in confinement. The imagination behind this movie is great it is done as well as District 9 with the reminisces of the Matrix.
Nathan is excited in a big way.
Daniel also got excited for this one the trailer was great.
Rotten Tomatoes IMDb 6.1 Intern +2
Winner: Chicken dinner they both are winners again.
WINNER FOR TRAILER PARK PODCAST #6: Daniel! and Nathan!
