Hot off the heels of the anticipated Batman trailer, the first trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has appeared all across the internets! Stop reading and start watching!
Without a doubt, the Internets this past week have been the Shangri-La equivalent for Geeks everywhere. The biggest Superhero reveal on the planet followed by the biggest Fantasy reveal on the planet? If somehow a major Star Wars announcement was to be made right now, the mass simultaneous head explosions would be deafening.
It’s a very merry Cinema Recon Holiday Special!
Today on the show, we received our mission and chose to accept it! It’s the Cinema Recon review of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol! (07:55)
As an added bonus, we have seen (and barely understood…) the first 6 minutes of The Dark Knight Rises! (14:15)
We also block punch, break ribs, and deflect haymaker! Its elementary, dear Watson, with Cinema Recon’s review of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows! (01:12:02)
We all know what true the meaning of the holidays is…PRESENTS!! Paul and Jake exchange gifts in the very first Cinema Recon Secret Santa! (52:10)

Unless you have been living under a rock, which happens to be under an even larger, more socially inhibiting rock, you should know that the internet is abuzz today with the release of the full The Dark Knight Rises Trailer. I feel it is a good idea…nay, my duty to post the trailer here for your viewing pleasure on Cinema Recon (The trailer is hosted on Apple and I found it embedded on Trailer Addict):

On the upcoming show, you will hear Jake and I discuss the 6 minute preview we saw prior to the IMAX screening of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. In my humble-yet-often-more-correct-than-Jake opinion, this new trailer is much more exciting than what we saw Thursday night. Here, we don’t have to deal with Bane’s grainy voice and we see a lot more of the overall film (plus that football stadium scene…yowsers).
I for one am far more excited than I used to be for this movie. The “behind the scenes” leaks were killing my anticipation, but now that the film has wrapped, I can just sit back and enjoy the trailers and viral marketing!
What did you think?
Today on the show, we get dieting tips from the worst babysitting movie we have ever seen…Its the Cinema Recon review of The Sitter! (09:20)
We also cheat in English Class by watching the movie instead of reading the book…Paul and Jake review The Help! (54:25)

Moviehole provides the news that Peter Weller is the latest to sign up for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel! The actor, who played the iconic Robotic Police Officer Man in two films, is on board for an unknown role. Other new-to-the-series-stars that recently signed on were Alice Eve and Benicio Del Toro!
So… Before we get a Robocop remake starring the actor in the prequel to the X-Men franchise, the original Robocop is going to star in the sequel to the re-imagining of the original Star Trek? …I’m so excited/confused!
Quick question...what movie is this??
So who didn’t see this coming? Bradley Cooper has confirmed, as reported by The National Ledger, that there will indeed be a Hangover 3 (or as I like to think of it: Hangover Part One Again For The Second Time).
The previous sequel got its fair share of criticism for perhaps sticking TOO close to the formula of the first Hangover. Seemingly addressing this directly, Cooper did mention that the new film will “not adhere to the structure” that we have seen.
The story this time is looking like it will bet set in Los Angeles, which I assume means that 80% of the film will be the Wolfpack sitting in traffic on the 101 freeway.
Here we go again...Again!
For your listening/reading pleasure, we here at Cinema Recon are constantly tinkering with our formats and trying to come up with new ideas. Most recently there have been two tweaks to the site that will hopefully make your Cinema Recon experience all the more betters.
1) The Review Section – See that clickable word at the top of your screen that says “Reviews”? That is where you (yeah, YOU) can go to discover all of the movies we have reviewed on the show. Where once they were simply listed (booooo, Boring!), they are now in the form of pretty, clickable posters (Yay! Not boring at all!) which will take you directly to the show containing that particular and hilarious review.
2) Time Stamps – Here on Cinema Recon, we try to provide as much quality content as possible. Shows are typically 2-3 hours long so that you can spread them across your week like warm, delicious, buttery butter across a piece of toast that you already buttered, so its extra buttery. We understand that finding your favorite jokes/topics/dumb-things-that-Jake-says can be daunting, so we have included these little guys —> (0:00:00).
That is a Time Stamp, and they are in every show description, appearing right next to a corresponding topic. Just go to that (hour:minute:second) in your audio player and BAM! Your ears are teleported to whatever specific sweet, sweet CR sound you were craving. Give it a try!
If you have any improvements you’d like to recommend for the show/site, comment below, or write to us at CinemaRecon@gmail.com!
