“Chappaquiddick” Trailers, Clips, and Posters

Directed by John Curran, Chappaquiddick follows Ted Kennedy, played by Jason Clarke,  who destroys his life and political career when he is involved in a fatal 1969 car accident that claims the life of a young campaign strategist, Mary Jo Kopechne, played by Kate Mara.

The fatal accident occurred two days before Apollo 11 walk on the moon and became one of the top scandals of the 1970s.

Ed Helms also stars. I am looking forward to seeing him step out of comedy and into this serious role.

The movie received two nominations. One with Golden Trailers Best Drama and the other screenplay from the Miami Film Festival brings me to the conclusion that the script is watch makes the movie.  Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan honed a screenplay worth producing. 

The Blu-ray/DVD movie trailer is so much better than the trailers promoting the release of the movie. This trailer shows what the story is about and what happened to Mary Jo Kopechne that fateful night. The story unfolds like a chess game.

I watched the movie with my husband.  We found the movie to be slow and depressing.  The acting is great. Ed Helms played the role as Kennedy’s cousin brilliantly.  Jason Clarke is just as good. But, such a sad occurrence is what made it so hard for us to watch.  Kennedy still ended up being a Senator for most his life.

The movie clip shows how Ted Kennedy completely lost all responsibility for what he did.

The final trailer says it all. The true story is hard to stomach because it so hard to understand how anyone could be so stupid and negligent.

The movie clips show how unready and unprofessional Kennedy’s staff handled Ted Kennedy’s mess up.  Ed Helms performance is stellar.

This clip is awfully dark and the sound quality is not that great.

Chappaquiddick is a tragic story full of conflicting testimonies and odd behavior by Ted Kennedy and his friends.

Captain Underpants Trailer

Directed by David Soren, Captain Underpants, is based on a popular book series, and with a cast headed by Kevin Hart and Ed Helms.

DreamWorks put the movie together and the winded title is  Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. This raucously subversive comedy for the entire family tells the story of two overly imaginative pranksters named George and Harold, who hypnotize their principal into thinking he’s a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dimwitted superhero named Captain Underpants.

I thought all principals thought they were superheroes.
