Paranoia, the destroyer!  (Bonus “you’re awesome” points for anyone who remembers that groovy tune.)  Here’s a little something that’s sure to give you paranoia…the movie Paranoia, of course!  It’s a tense thriller, and it’s got some amazing actors headlining, including Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman, Amber Heard and Harrison Ford. What’s it about?  Glad you asked.  Take it away, PR gurus!

The high stakes thriller Paranoia takes us deep behind the scenes of global success to a deadly world of greed and deception.  The two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other.  A young superstar (Liam Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth and power falls between them, and becomes trapped in the middle of the twists and turns of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage.  By the time he realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much for them to let him walk away.

We’ve got passes to the Baltimore area screening.  Want one for yourself?  Of course you do; who can wait ’til it opens on August 16th?  Read on, good people.  Read on….

I love Young Adult fiction (or, as the cool kids say, YA).  So I enjoyed Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief.  But last night I saw the killer trailer for the sequel, Sea of Monsters, and I was blown away.  Looks like they’re cranking the dial to 11 for this film, and I for one couldn’t be happier.  Can you hear my mythology-loving heart go a-pitter-a-pat?  Yeah you can.  And sorry about that.

What’s this film about, you ask?  Well, our beloved PR folks have an answer for you:

Based on the best-selling series by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, continues his epic journey to fulfill his destiny, as he teams with his demigod friends to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which has the power to save their home and training ground, Camp Half-Blood.

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters opens officially on August 7th.  But seeing it early?  Sweet.  Here’s the usual info:

I gotta say I’m loving this movie poster.  And that the stars of Grown Ups 2 are cool with having their high school-ness out there, large and in charge.  (Nice popped collar there, Kevin James!)

Seen Grown Ups?  Wanna know what’s in store in Grown Ups 2?  Here’s the info from our wonderful PR folks:

The all-star comedy cast from Grown Ups returns (with some exciting new additions) for more summertime laughs. Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school.

So this not only sounds like a hoot, it sounds like a good summertime laugh.  Who doesn’t love the last day of school?

And who doesn’t love free passes?  Read on to find out how to grab one for yourself!

Pacific Rim.  You’ve seen the trailer, or the television commercials.  Big ol’ monsters coming out of the depths of the sea, and humans needing to build big ol’ robots to fight ’em.  This could be THE summer blockbuster of the season y’all.  And we’ve got passes.  Woot!

For those of you that need more info, here’s the synopsis from our lovely and talented PR folks:

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end.

To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.  But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.  On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.  Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Ready for some monstrous action?  Me too — read on for how to score a pass for yourownself!

Of course you want passes.  I’d want passes!  And hey, I’ve got passes.  So here they are y’all!

The gist of this sequel?  Why yes, our PR folks have given us one.  Because they love you too.

In RED 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they’ll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-ge neration weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world—and stay alive in the process.

Since this screening is this Thursday, let’s just cut to the good stuff, yeah?

Mmm, summer movies.  All that lovely air conditioning.  Tons of popcorn.  And a good movie?  Yes please.  So when we got word of this promo, we jumped on it.  The movie The Way Way Back is a must for folks who are fans of Little Miss Sunshine and Juno; it’s from the studio that gave us those cool films!  Interest piqued?  Yeah it is.

The synopsis, from our groovy PR gurus:

THE WAY, WAY BACK is the funny and poignant coming of age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin).  Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, clandestine friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up to and begins to finally find his place in the world – all during a summer he will never forget.

Summer movie season is here y’all!  And so why not save a few bucks and catch a free screening?  I knew y’all would be down with that.

We’ve got screening passes to the June 25th Baltimore area screening of White House Down.  Jamie Foxx as POTUS?  I’m guessing the D is still silent….

From our lovely and talented PR folks:

In Columbia Pictures’ White House Down, Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.

It’s directed by Roland “Heck yeah I made aliens IBM compatible” Emmerich, of Independence Day, so you know it’s gonna be a popcorn-palooza.  (What?  I love ID4.  It’s absurd, but damn if it doesn’t get me Every Single Time.)
