Man was it a week for trailers! The week kicked off (pun intended) with some fantastic Super Bowl 50 spots, and continued with new trailers for such movies as The Jungle Book, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and The Huntsman: Winter’s War, but that isn’t even close to the only trailers we got. On top of those, eight other trailers were released throughout the week that deserve of a view or two from you.
When I usually do this weeky post, it only includes four trailers, because that’s always about the number of trailers released. But for some reason, this week was loaded with new trailers. Because the bigger movies I mentioned above always get the spotlight, and rightfully so, these “smaller” movies often get lost in the shuffle. And just as I usually do with this segment, I bring to you the (this time) eight the trailers from the past week.

Hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) place an online ad to find the perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding. Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo.
Mr. Right
Release date: April 8th, 2016.
Hyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight — and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell). To anyone else, Francis’s approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can’t help but be intrigued. They seem a perfect match: she’s bananas, he’s bananas… except he’s a deadly sort of bananas. He’s a professional assassin.
Criminal
Release date: April 15th, 2016.
The story of the right man in the wrong body. In a last-ditch effort to stop a diabolical plot, a dead CIA operative’s memories, secrets, and skills are implanted into an unpredictable and dangerous death-row inmate in hopes the he will complete the operative’s mission.
Hardcore Henry
Release date: April 8th, 2016.
Strap in. Hardcore Henry is an original film that was shot completely from the hero’s perspective. You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. Who’s got her? His name’s Akan (Danila Kozlovsky); he’s a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley.) He may be on your side, but you aren’t sure. If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Good luck, Henry. You’re likely going to need it…
Equals

A new breed of humans, called Equals, live peacefully until a disease begins activating emotions in its victims, who are sent away and never seen again.

Having had no contact with him since childhood, she’s reluctant to make the effort to attend his funeral, but something draws her to the dusty corner of Texas where he spent the last years of his life. At first dismayed by the small town vibe, she’s soon intrigued by the people she meets, among them a distraught stepmother, her apprehensive son, a gutsy young musician, and a set of doting grandparents she’s never met. As she finds glimpses of the father she once knew, she also discovers a new attitude towards friendship, loyalty, and family.
