Movie Trailer Thursday
I’m still on vacation, still just sitting on my butt and playing a bunch of Tears of the Kingdom. But a bunch of movie trailers have come out, and I’m going to see Fast X this afternoon. So why not share and see what everybody else thinks?
First up is Haunted Mansion, the second attempt by Disney to turn this famous ride into a movie. I don’t remember anything about the first Haunted Mansion movie, but this new one already looks better, and has a bunch of great actors.
Looks solid. Looks enjoyable. I’ll probably go see it, depending on whatever else comes out that weekend. I doubt it’ll launch a new franchise, though. But they can try.
Haunted Mansion comes out on July 28.
Next up is Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part 1. I’ve never been into the Mission Impossible movies. The ones I’ve seen have been fine action films, sure, but this franchise means nothing to me. Like the Fast & Furious franchise.
Like, how is this trailer any different from every trailer in this franchise ever? How are any of these movies separate or different from all the other movies in the franchise? Why does this one need to be two parts?! I just don’t get it.
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part 1 comes to theaters on July 12.

Disney to Try to Make Haunted Mansion Happen Again
You know, I don’t think I ever saw the first Haunted Mansion movie, with Eddie Murphy. I must have. Did it play on ABC some night while I was still living with my parents before college? Surely I saw it then. Anyway, time heals all wounds and reboots all movies, so let’s try it again!
Looks fine. Some OK gags. Some OK special effects. Great cast. Danny DeVito and LaKeith Stanfield? That sounds like a dream team. But hey, it’s a Friday, I have the day off work and I plan to bury myself in video games and junk food. So enjoy a movie trailer and hope for the best!
Haunted Mansion is actually coming to theaters and not going straight to Disney+ on July 28!
