You pretty much can tell that Death Race won’t be a good movie just by taking into account the fact that it’s directed by Paul “The Bad One” Anderson. But the movie does have a surprisingly good cast and a premise that is goofy, but entertaining. So you’d think they would manage to come with [...]

First Death Race Poster
All the Boys Love Funny Games
This one is interesting to me. The similarities are quite obvious, and have been pointed out elsewhere. Perhaps the fact the the Funny Games poster was one of the most striking posters of late makes things more obvious, but still.
Then again, the differences are quite huge. And among them is the much calmer expression, which [...]
The Semi-Weekly Round Up: Not White Enough Edition
Transsiberian
I really wish they had done more with the whiteness of the ambient. But I guess this isn’t too bad.
Mutant Chronicles
It’s always funny to find a new poster for a movie you wrote about a year ago. Apparently they used all that time to come up with a much worse poster design.
Mirrors
Tyrannosaurus Rex Poster
It seems nobody knows for sure what the hell Tyrannosaurus Rex is about. But it is, much to my disappointment, apparently not about an actual T-Rex. I’m already less interested.
Then again maybe this is a ploy? Show the crazy bikers first, get people thinking this is something kinda like The Devil’s reject, and when people [...]
The Girls From The Spirit
Well, two more posters this week, completing the female side of The Spirit. Once again the very same style, but not quite the same effect.
Both posters go straight for the seduction angle and don’t manage to create a vision of the character behind the image as intriguing as the ones the first two posters created. [...]
The Funny
have in the past embarrassed myself in this very blog by allowing people a glimpse into what kind of stuff I find funny.
And I love when I get a chance to do it again.
Yes, it’s sort of a stupid poster. But come on. A guy driving, screaming furiously and brandishing an axe as blood sprays [...]
First Burn After Reading Poster
I keep thinking that Burn After Reading is a dead serious movie. I guess it’s the combination of still having the Coens’ latest (No Country) fresh on my mind with the strong title (burn!).
But as this poster (and the trailer) makes obvious this is a a return to comedy for the brothers.
Many people have mentioned [...]
Because Second Guessing is Fun: The Key Art Awards
So, the Key Art Awards winners were announced this weekend in such categories as best campaign, best action/adventure/horror trailer and a bunch of others that no one here cares about. Now, about the posters…
Action/Adventure/Horror Posters
Winner
I was initially a little bothered that my very favorite category, horror posters, had been put together with Action and Adventure [...]
Well, I Covered The Others, So I pretty Much Have To Cover This One
Disaster Movie is using the same type of poster campaign that Scary Movie 4 used. First a bunch of teaser posters, each mocking one particular movie/franchise. And later on we should get a final poster cramming a lot of parodies together.
Say what you want about the quality of each individual poster, this still seems much [...]
The Spirit - Silken Floss
Well, as it turns out they are not saving the big character posters for The Spirit till a date closer to the release. We now have the lovely Miss Johansson, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we soon got Mr. Jackson. Seems unusually early for this many posters to be release, but I’m not complaining.
The [...]
