Extract Teaser Poster

April 16th, 2009 at 9:39 pm » Comments (1)

I guess this trend from a couple of years ago isn’t quite dead yet. Although this is a really painful turn for the genre. I do have to wonder about the effectiveness of this. Sure, it might get a few giggles. It might get noticed. But it makes the movie appear juvenile and alienates a [...]



Taking Woodstock Poster

April 8th, 2009 at 10:06 pm » Comments (3)

Is it possible to get an acid trip just from looking at a poster? It’s almost impossible to read anything on this poster, with the exception of the title. And even that is a little hard on the eyes. So you might not get the tagline “A Generation Began in His Backyard”. You might not [...]



Life is Hard for Everyone

Poor Donald Faison, not only has Mos Def suddenly become a bigger star than him, the guy also stole his arms! Tough luck, but are you going to do, right Donald? (Via Black Voices and IMPAwards)



My Life in Ruins Poster

March 11th, 2009 at 10:06 am » Comments (6)

Andre James from Row Three alerted me to this poster for My Life in Ruins and to the visual resemblance it has with this poster we saw not long ago for Mamma Mia! Initially I thought that maybe the poster for My Life in Ruins was somehow referencing or parodying the Mamma Mia! one. But [...]

… or does this make anybody else think “Superbad: The Later Years”? (Via IMPAwards)



Observe and Then Observe Some More

Fact: Knocked Up’s main poster was a big close-up of Rogen’s head. That movie earned over $148 million dollars domestically. Fact: Pineapple Express had a poster that was a big close-up of Rogen’s head, but also had several other equally important posters including many featuring James Franco. That movie earned over $87 million dollars domestically. [...]



Two Nights at the Museum

February 4th, 2009 at 9:34 pm » Comments (2)

I guess since we have all seen the first movie the weird inhabitants of the museum have no reason to hide anymore, either from us or from Ben. Which is kind of unfortunate because a lot of the magic of the first poster had to do with getting a glimpse of this world of wonders [...]



The 50′s Ain’t What They Used to Be

January 21st, 2009 at 8:27 pm » Comments (1)

I love 50′s style sci-fi posters. Especially the ones about invasions from out of space. This, for example, is great. And the idea of trying to use the style to create a poster for a film that as a bit of a parody of those movies is awesome. But this is not a good poster. [...]



Madea Goes to The Same Place as Ever

January 12th, 2009 at 9:39 pm » Comments (3)

So we went from this… …to these. Hard to see much of a theme, a consistent mood or really anything that would make all these seem like they are for the same movie. Then again maybe the theme is Tyler Perry. As KamikazeKamel has pointed out before it’s sort of a tradition of Tyler Perry [...]



Land of the Lost Poster

January 5th, 2009 at 9:37 pm » Comments (7)

There are a few things about this poster that confuse me. First, the poster seems to position Land of the Lost as a pretty straight fantasy/adventure. However, both the film and the poster star Will Ferrell, who isn’t exactly known for playing it straight. So, is this a more serious turn for Will? Or is [...]
