The Dark Reich of the Moon

By Paul

Holy sweet merciful God, wasn’t I just talking about ludicrous premises and mash-ups in film when we discussed the upcoming Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter?  No sooner had I made that post did I stumble across this little trailer, released today, for Iron Sky:

Nazis from the freakin’ moon attacking present day New York in UFOs and blimp-shaped spaceships all coming out of swastika-shaped moon bases…Oh and Sarah Palin is in it.  I shit you not.  I am exhausted just having typed that, let alone having watched it!

Well that’s it then.  Hollywood has gone insane.  Somewhere a vein has popped and film studios are flinging bat-shit crazy movies at us.  I don’t think I’m over reacting when I say the biblical Apocalypse is upon us.  Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… Nazis on the goddamn moon.

Touché, Blind Spot Pictures.  You looked a President battling Nosferatu square in the eye and said, “You think that’s nuts?  Well WE have lost our fucking MINDS!!”

 

….And we’ll probably go see it.

In Jeremy Renner, an action star is Bourne… get it?

By Jake

The Hollywood Reporter brings us the wonderful news that the trailer for The Bourne Legacy has gone online! So get ready to run across the rooftops once more, but this time with Jeremy Renner! Renner will star as Alex Cross, another agent of the Treadstone/Blackbriar/Enter Cool Name Here program which creates super duper assassin-hit-men-solider-guys! I’m excited to see Renner do some more hand to hand combat fighting after what we saw of him in Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol. But to my note above I really hope there aren’t any more rooftop foot chases… we’ve seen enough of that.

This movie does start to line up quite the action packed summer movie line up for 2012 though, which makes this dude pretty excited. Ready (take a deep breath) – we have The Avengers, Battleship, Snow White and the Huntsmen, Prometheus, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Amazing Spider-man, The Dark Knight Rises, Bourne Legacy, Total Recall, and Old Men and Explosions Expendables 2.

You can check out the trailer for The Bourne Legacy below. It is expected to hit theaters August 3rd so text me on your non-traceable cell phone and I’ll see you there.

Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation from Vampirization

By Paul

Oh yeah.  Now this is what I’m talking about.  Abraham Lincoln.  Vampires.  And a big ass Axe.  It all gels together so nicely, doesn’t it?

In case you haven’t heard, 20th Century Fox and producer Tim Burton will bring us Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter this coming June.  Judging by the unabashedly outrageous title, I expect a tongue-firmly-in-cheek mash-up of top hats and wooden stakes, which (if you are as big a horror fan like me) sounds delightful.  I really do love a good (even often bad) horror movie.  And I love it even more when a film knows exactly what it is supposed to be and embraces itself.  Do you remember the scene in Inglorious Basterds where Omar and Donowitz unload a couple of MP40s into Adolf Hitler??  I kinda feel like, if done right, this movie could achieve that same “Anything Goes!” feeling for 90 minutes.  We shall see…

June (unfortunately for us Prometheus fanatics) is still a long ways away.  But to satisfy our presidential huntings of the undead, Entertainment Weekly has scored some cool pics that appear to be on location and in action!  Check them out in the gallery below:

 

And I say why stop with Abe and vamps?!  How about some Benjamin Franklin: Cyborg Slayer!  Or Rosa Parks vs. Cthulhu!!  Yeah!!  Or give me a little Cowboys and Alie…oh…right.  Okay, I’ll stop.

Episode 02/04/12

By Paul

Today on the show, we watch your typical run-of-the-mill barn partying, blue orb absorbing, teenage telekinesis empowering popcorn flick!  It’s the Cinema Recon review of Chronicle!

We also don our patented Cinema Recon flip-flops (patent pending) and soak up the Hawaiian sun with George Clooney in The Descendants!

In the news…

  • Follow Vin Diesel as he continues along his Career Revitalizing World Tour, next stop: Riddick!
  • John McClain, Superman, and Ripley team up in the new trailer for The Cold Light of Day!
  • One could say the superhero genre is starting to get… stretched a little thin!
  • Matthew Vaughn is at the helm for the next X-Men movie, entitled X-Men: We lost Count Too!
  • Lex Luthor turned 82 on January 30th!
  • Joel Edgerton and Jessica Chastain will star in two films that are the same…but different!
  • Gran Turino writer Nick Schenk will pen the Robocop reboot, which will now star an old, war-torn, racist white dude!
Edit:  Paul makes mention on this show that The Descendants was a Golden Globe Nominee for Best Comedy/Musical.  This is incorrect, rather the The Descendants won the Golden Globe for Best Drama.  Paul would like to apologize to George Clooney, and promises to refund George for this show
