The Preview Review: Crazy Love, Rise: Blood Hunter, Evening, Bratz

Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: FOCUS, Magnolia, Lionsgate, Sony, Action, Adaptation, Documentary, Drama, Family, Independent, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thrillers, Lists, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

Welcome back to another edition of The Preview Review, where we attempt to unmask beautiful previews hiding terrible films.  This week, we take a look at some upcoming movies through four newly released commercials trailers.  Within them we’ll see some present-day vampire action, truly demented unconditional love in documentary form, and two stories about the unbreakable friendship amongst a group of girls (guess which of the two won’t suck!).

Get all the latest trailer reviews after the jump.

In this episode of FilmCrunch, Neil Estep and Veronica Santiago review Lucky Number Slevin on DVD. This one features an identity mix-up that places an innocent man in the middle of a mob war in this noir crime thriller. While checking out his missing friend Nick’s apartment, Slevin (Josh Hartnett) is mistaken for Nick by thugs. Just how much trouble is Nick really in? Slevin finds out when he’s forced to participate in a high-profile murder for a powerful crime boss. The top-notch cast includes Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley and Bruce Willis.
