RIP IT UP MOVIE CLUB: New Trailer Goodness

Here at Rip It Up one of our most favourite past times to do on the internet is watching movie trailers. We've almost got it down to a fine art including knowing the best places to look, what makes a good trailer and most importantly what makes a bad trailer.

Note to all film companies: We really hate it when you show us the whole movie including who the bad guy is in the 2 minute 30 second snapshot of your film. Trailers should be an appetizer not a full course meal people. Rant officially over!

Anyway...with all the rain around the country these last few weeks we've had a bit more time to scour the net and have come up with a list of our favourite new movie trailers for your viewing pleasure.
