Ok, am I going crazy? Are we suddenly back in the 80’s? I mean, a poster for a 3D horror movie featuring the killer’s weapon bursting through the screen? Really?

Sure, the production values are now much better. But the cheese is still equally (or even more) strong.
Not that I’m not tickled by it, but I [...]

So, SAW V (five!) took about $30 million dollars in its opening weekend. I’m sure this series is running out of steam, but I’m, as of right now, retiring from the business of predicting that the SAW marketing has lost its power.
I wonder what the poster for SAW 33 will be like. I mean, you [...]

I’m not sure who should get credit for it, but the posters for Pixar’s films have been almost always excellent. The poster campaign for Wall-E was one of my favorites of this year so far, and from the look of things UP will be one of my favorites next year.
What I love about this poster [...]

If loved the W. posters and want to get an autographed version of them you can join this charitable auction.
If, on the other hand, you are a cheap bastard you can just enter this contest over at The Moving Picture.

Ok, maybe he doesn’t look exactly like Cruise, but Keanu is looking even less like himself in this poster, which makes this a weird design. A poster for a big effects blockbuster that doesn’t really showcase the effects and that makes the star it’s putting front and center hard to recognize.

I do think the design in general and the fantastic [...]

I guess the french thought the whole ray of lights/angel was just too much. A snowy night on the other hand gave the image of our kneeled hero just the right amount of over the top melodrama.

Lenticular posters are those 3D/moving things you sometimes see on you local cineplex. As you can imagine it’s not very easy to tell exactly the effect one of those will have in real life from a picture on the internet. For example, I quite liked this poster when I first saw it, but I was [...]

Kurt from RowThree was nice enough to point me over to this poster made by artist Jeff Kleinsmith for a special Alamo Drafthouse screening. If you are quick you can also buy it from MondoTees.
Normal posters have to sell to you a movie you have never seen, often without showing too much so as [...]

This poster might very well not be an official poster, but is that reason enought not to post it? I say no.
A half angel, half demon statue might be an overly literal visual representation of a movie called Angels & Demons, but you know what? I don’t really care. It works. And the background serves [...]
