I visited the National Air and Space Museum. I believe the title is misleading because it is actually full of stuff.

It's more of a travel-romance movie - prettily photographed with ambient music. Giant ambient tentacle elephants. Would be good in a sense room.

Strip joint and strippers on the poster, but no strip joint or strippers in the film. The entire scene depicted on the poster does not exist in the film at all.

It's particularly annoying because a strip joint scene could have significantly increased the overall quality of this flick. This in itself tells you all you need to know about the quality of work we are talking about here.

Didn't see it until recently, but Coriolanus definitely fits. It's marketed as a Shakespeare play in a modern setting. You don't get from the trailer that they don't translate the Shakespearean dialogue, which in many places, for those not heavily schooled in the Shakespearean mode of English, needs subtitles. IMDb should list the language as Middle or Shakespearean English.

That's bizarre.

Stag Night of the Dead wasn't the kind of stupid boob-a-rama the poster made it seem like. Pretty good film.

When I was living in morocco, the english speaking tv channels always had hilarious trailers for western films, seriously it's like they were doing it deliberately.
I wanna say Max Payne, but I really should have known better than to expect anything good to come out of a film based on a game, starring Mark Wahlberg. -,-

Wtf happened to Joseph Gordon Levitt's face and voice in the trailer for Looper???? 0_o He looks like he's had plastic surgery to make him look older! On the other hand, the film does look interesting.

He's joseph gordon-levitt. It doesn't matter what he looks like, his awesomeness transcends earthly things.
