I know you missed these sweet trailers, so here are two for your enjoyment. First up is ‘G.I. Joe,’ soon-to-be a summer blockbuster after featuring in my childhood fantasies for years. Let’s take a look (via FilmDrunk):

This has all of the trappings of a good action movie, although I’m not sure what reaction they expected by flashing “From the Director of ‘The Mummy’” on the screen — ooh, you mean this could be passably entertaining and then be followed up by two or three sequels and spin-offs that are complete dog-poop and utterly devoid of intellect? Sign me up!

Also, it seems like with this movie, ‘Transformers 2′ and the new ‘Terminator’ flick all coming out this summer, we are in for one hot sweaty robot clusterboink over the next few months. I hope you’re ready, and that this doesn’t suck. Because if it does, I’m suing these people for ruining my childhood. That will hold up in court, or at least it SHOULD. Oh, and the trailer is acceptable too, albeit mildly unbelievable. Bonus points for a lot of it being in France! Grade: B-

Hit the jump for something entirely different, and somewhat… sexual.

Hello, trailer enthusiasts. I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. To help you get through it, the Daily Monthly is here with two new trailers to two new movies, one of which looks good and one of which looks like a dog shot it out of its behind after chowing down on Mexican food. Guess which one this is:

 

‘I Love You Man‘ could have been just another run-of-the-mill, Judd Apatow production. Instead, it actually looks pretty good. I have a man-love thing for Paul Rudd, and it is good to see that Rashida Jones is still working after The Office and these weird videos with Natalie Portman. I did roll my eyes at the initial attempts to “figure out” guys, like we go on man-dates or something, but this trailer grew on me. The comedy seems sufficiently lewd and honest to keep the attention of the college-aged viewer, plus there’s dog poop that isn’t shoved in our faces (even Oscar-worthy movies make this classic mistake, *cough* ‘Slumdog Millionaire *cough) and dudes making out. How bad could it be? Also, bonus points for throwing Andy Samberg in there, even if he doesn’t seem to be playing a wacky guy. Grade: A-

Hit the jump for a terrible, terrible movie. Starring the lady from ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding.’

Yeah, you knew the Obama couple was kinky, didn’t you? I especially enjoy that one of the women on the show understands the error immediately, but the other seems to have never heard of fisting. Maybe there is something to that ‘generation gap’ talk. In any case, here are your weekly links:

• I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this will be the worst news men ever receive in 2009: masturbation leads to cancer.

• A super-duper high resolution image of the inauguration. You can zoom in to see Clarence Thomas napping! Also, hooray for the last inauguration link ever!

• A neat, simple game with a teddy bear making his way over windy traffic: Sunny Day Sky.

• Continuing our tradition of hilarious blogs, one girl’s lengthy (with slightly NSFW text) testimonial: I bang the worst dudes.

Hit the jump for Jacques Chirac’s run in with a poodle, love advice and what Kylie Minogue sounds like when slowed down (hint: it’s less-than-straight).

This trailer is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The premise is that two children, a blonde girl and a black boy, were kidnapped and convinced their parents had died. They grew up in this lie with nothing to hold on to but each other. The story of the trailer is about how they grow up dealing with their twisted childhood, and how they ultimately rise above and create their own family out of what they’ve been dealt. The movie has already won multiple film awards, and is nothing short of a beautifully told nightmare. For a compelling, thought-provoking trailer, I would definitely recommend Gardens of the Night. B+
