Movie Trailers Online
By Sylvia Adolvana
Movie trailers can really make or break a movie. We
all know that the best box office numbers are usually
the opening weekend of new movies. Word-of-mouth has
a way of making people hold off until movies get to
the cheap show, Netflix or Blockbuster, so it’s imperative
that the movie trailers clips get people excited.
For filmmaker Rob Zombie, it wasn’t easy presenting
his unique type of movie in a motion picture friendly
way. He recently told Entertainment Weekly, "When
I first saw the trailer [for Halloween II], I went,
‘this is the movie we made.’
And then [Dimension Films] was like, ‘We don’t want
to use it, we don’t like it,’ and they just threw it
away." He added that the new versions made his
movie look like a typical slasher movie. So when the
original version leaked online, Zombie was psyched;
the response was so positive, scores of people said
"Wow, I didn’t want to see the movie until I saw
this trailer!"
More Options To Watch Movie Trailers Online
In the past, special websites were set up for each
movie and you could find them via the search engines.
Today, there are still "official" movie sites,
but you can also watch trailers on special websites
made just for showing previews of the top movies, and
on social networking sites, which make it easier to
share good finds.
One of these websites is www.traileraddict.com.
Here you’ll view a list of the upcoming new releases
in DVD-cover format. With one click, you’ll be watching
these trailers clips in regular or HD-Plus format.
You can then grab embedded codes or post the trailer
right on your Twitter page. In a right hand column,
you can also watch "related trailers" and
view the ratings of these previews to select the best
ones.
Watching Quality Movie Trailers Online
A popular site to search movie trailers is Yahoo Movies.
Some people like to search movies online by "Top
Box Office," while others like to watch the "Most
Recently Added" clips so they can have the latest
in movies news. There is also a "Most Popular"
section for tested, tried and true previews.
Their "My Movies" feature lets you build
a movie profile of your likes and dislikes, create lists
of your favorite movies, write reviews of movies, rate
movies and get personalized recommendations of new releases
you might like based on your preferences. Members can
also save their favorite local theaters for quick access
and purchase tickets right on the site.
Buy Movie Tickets Online
The site www.fandango.com
has quickly become one of the most popular places to
watch movies trailers online. The benefit of using Fandango
is that you can also purchase your tickets here and
either pick them up at the theater or print them out
at home.
They often run promotions where you can get free tickets
when you participate in a partner’s offer as well. Fandango
offers special feature videos. For instance, when you
look up Quentin Tarantino’s "Inglorious Basterds,"
you can also watch the latest HD trailer, a video of
the "Tarantino’s Greatest Movie Moments,"
and enter to win a prize pack from the movie.
You can read fan reviews, critic reviews, easily see
when the last matinee show is and get maps to your local
theaters.
