Iron Sky trailer

Nazis from the moon. Enough said.

Perhaps a loose fit for this blog, but the sheer awesomeness of the trailer left me with no choice.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I was a little reticent to get on board with the whole literary and historical reorientation sub genre of horror fiction. I think I drew the line when authors just seemed to base their ideas on mere alliteration (Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters) or convenience of title (Android Karenina). Though I have heard that the steam punk elements of the latter are somewhat interesting. 

Anyway, as ambivalent towards the genre and my own American heritage as I am, I watched the progress of the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the first of these "mashup novels" as they're called, with a wary eye. When Tim Burton came on to produce and Timur Bekmambetov came on to direct, I started to pay a little more attention.

Nothing needs to be said about Mr. Burton. Timur Bekmambetov directed the Russian film Night Watch and its sequel, Day Watch. As well as the frenetic comic book adaptation Wanted. Say what you will about Angelina and what have you, but the action in Wanted was very well executed. 

And with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter's teaser just released, I am actually kind of excited.
