New 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues' Teasers Show That Brick Still Can't Think

The recent announcement of an Anchorman sequel will go down as one of the news highlights of the year, and with good reason.  The film that jumpstarted Will Ferrell's film career is one of the big cult classics of the 2000's, and Hollywood's inexplicable refusal to finance a sequel has crept up again and again.  Now, two teaser trailers for the film have popped up onine, and they tease us well.

Trailer for 'Hyde Park on Hudson' is Murray Oscar Hunting as FDR

I've always found Bill Murray to be considerably underrated as an actor and comedian, even though half of his films command major publicity.  It seems you could only see his true acting chops in Lost in Translation or a Wes Anderson movie, but with the new film Hyde Park on Hudson, Murray is truly going for the gusto as former president Franklin D.

Movie Trailer: ‘Hit And Run’ with Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard

Summer movies tend to fall into two categories: tent pole franchise blockbusters and wishful thinking rom-coms.  Every year there is that surprise sleeper hit that audiences fall in love with and if the trailer is any indication of the possibility in store, then year’s winner could be Hit and Run.  Directed by David Palmer, Run stars Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper, Kristin Chenoweth, Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville), Beau Bridges, Joy Bryant (Parenthood), and Tom Arnold.

Spider-Man isn't being rebooted simply for a box-office cash grab, though let's be honest it is, but Marc Webb is here to show us a different side of our hero.

Ferrell Carries a So-So Trailer for 'The Campaign'

I had high hopes for The Campaign when Cam Brady & Marty Huggins released their respective campaign promo ads last week, but the first trailer for the Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis comedy fell short for me.   The main reason being that Ferrell looks to be hilarious in his ridiculous Anchorman like form as a repetitive, conservative congressman Cam Brady, while the Galfianakis plays a soft-spoken, effeminate goof in Marty Huggins who just isn't all that funny.
